Re: LA a jewel? Damn skippy....
The LA Market is a disgrace. If you haven't heard yet from other threads, Adelphia acquired Century Cable's assets 5 years ago, and we were promised "new advanced services" such as digital cable and cable modem service.....
Fast forward 5 years.....
We've were only able to get Digital Cable less than a year ago, and as lml2000 explains in other threads, it's only "baby" digital....so it's a cop out. Heck, lml still can't even get that!
We still can't get cable modem service either! The saga began with this promise letter 5 years ago, and right up until this past April 1st when Adelphia assured our homeowners association that Cable Modem Service would be available. April Fools!!!!....and the joke's been on us for 5 years...
See this article:
»www.latimes.com/business/la-0000···16.story
And look at Adelphia's rollout of Cable Modems compared to the other franchises.....disgraceful....
For four of those 5 years, the only thing Adelphia sent us was a higher bill, with a new logo, for the same damn analog service. We had one HBO, one Showtime, One The Movie Channel, One Skinimax.....
"But exciting new products are on the horizon!"
What a ripoff...They got nearly five free years out of us without really making any visible infrastructure improvements....Oh yeah....they blamed the Department of Water and Power for that in the article, the first excuse we actually heard from them in the "five years of when we're damn good and ready"....What a bunch of lame-o's....
serve's 'em right. I feel bad for the people who will get canned... They're nice people and they've been very helpful...Their managers of course will stay on or get golden parachutes....typical.

Sherman Oaks, CA | No arguement from me. As I've noted elsewhere, it appears to be a miracle that my area can get Cable modems at all. And as I noted elsewhere, based on their performance just doing cable TV, I wouldn't want to use them for broadband. I'll take my chances with DSL, thank you very much....

I say :
You've been a proven liar on this subject. The sale took place in 1999! If you can trun 3 years into 5, please let me know the long term investment corp. your running! | |
