Re: Of course it will...

Snet had a Cable Company. Americast I think it was and wanted to deploy it to the whole state till SBC(Now ATT) killed it

Yep Americast, and it was over a coaxial network too.

I get a feeling that they would have done it if they did not get bought out, Possibly would have even experimented with FTTH well before FiOS was an idea.

I still know lots of people from CT who still call the phone company SNET even though it has not been that for over a decade... Even I do it.

Americast was an Ameritech Product. SNET was part of the Ameritech family. SBC obtained it when they purchased Ameritech. ATT still uses the fiber that Ameritech laid for the system. And it's the only state where Americast operated that did NOT see WOW.

Not sure where you're getting your info. But SNET did cable way before sbc came around.
