Re: Yeah, if you want to rewire....
said by acadiel  :
I suppose they theoretically *could* have a competitor's ISP, but they would have to rewire the whole headend and re-do the nodes. Man, that would probably be a mess.
There's nothing theoretical about it.
Earthlink Cable Internet powered by Comcast has been around for a long time, albeit in limited areas. |

| Good thing I read the entire thread 'cause I was going to say the same thing. A lot of markets have this already. Time Warner gives you the choice of I think RCI, Roadrunner, and ELN. ATTBi had ELN in some markets like I think Seattle which Comcast honored when ATTBi was bought out.
They obviously can do it. They just obviously don't wanna do it.

| In this case though, the appeal isn't really from having a different pipe to the internet. It's offering the same service with extras (like dialup access, AOL, allowing servers or better tech support) and probably a better price.
I'm with New York Connect here in NYC. They piggyback on the Time Warner network, and offer the same pipe to the net that Time Warner does, but you get unlimited free dialup, which time warner doesn't offer. Additionally, they don't force you to take cable TV, which is an important consideration since I have Satellite TV. |
