Re: Adelphia--the Rodney Dangerfield of ISPs.

I too have heard this from a user here on DSLReports who has a lot of knowledge with Project Pronto deployment in the LA area. Maybe he can bring some insight to this. Lml2000?????

Re: Adelphia--the Rodney Dangerfield of ISPs.

DWP has indeed been the stumbling block for Broadband deployment in Los Angeles.

It has been the largest roadblock for SBC/PacBell's deployment of DSL as well. There are many CEVs in the ground in L.A. with no power because DWP will not supply it.

Much of this equipment is mass produced and complies with the National Electric Code. In some instances, DWP's requirements conflict with this code, and the two (for whatever reason I don't understand) won't mix.

Adelphia it is never our fault cable company.

So why are AT&T, Cox, Charter, and Time-Warner getting along fine with the power they need and meeting their goals? Adelphia's attitude and perspective can be summed up by their spokesperson who said "Adelphia planned to start offering cable modem services in neighborhoods where its cables had been upgraded, even though the rebuild was far from complete! The company plans to launch services in West Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks within 60 days, and in Eagle Rock within 90 days, he said". In other words they are going to sell something to people that they are not going to be able to deliver the performance, service and availability as advertised. They will however cash your check. Adelphia is very good at taking your money.

Houses need utilities such as water, sewer, and electricity to be functional. In the context of Internet access infrastructure and power what Adelphia did was the equivalent of going to a location that had no electricity, waster, or sewer, built tract homes and then complains that they can't sell the homes because the DWP isn't responding fast enough after the fact to build or supply the electrical infrastructure.
