THE ONLY UPGRADING THAT SHAW DID HERE IN KINGWOOD IS ADD SOME TRAYON EQUIPMENT TO THE HEAD END, AND THAT IS IT. We have had internet for around 4 years now, and digital television service for a year and a half. The ONLY upgrading they have done at all is change out some one way amps to two way in the other texas systems. No main lines have been replaced, the amps that were replaced were rebuilt and very low grade. Now the rebuilt systems barely pass FCC testing and leak CLI like crazy. Who ever from SHAW main office said that they have spent 13 million on upgrades must have been writting himself some rather large checks. |

| reply to dnoyeB Yes I think the process of updating the 4 U.S. systems to digital cable probably broke the bank....
I think while the big boys see an immediate influx of cash after upgrading massive cities like NY with digital cable, the same profit margins don't exist in piddle-town USA. -- - |
