Re: Justification?

After searching through about a dozen different channel line-ups for that part of Florida, I finally found 1 with a 52 channel line up. I never realized just how fragmented that part of the Florida region was... ouch. But your right, every other system surrounding yours has more channels
Now do you understand why I get so frustrated with Adelphia? It would seem to make more sense (and cost effective) for Adelphia to have less fragmented systems and provide a more consistent service. If you check the network status page, you get about 4 listings for Boynton Beach alone with PowerLink. My issues are not so much about the channels, but the prices paid for it. People that are still on the ancient systems pay the same as people on a system with better/more channels (go ahead and throw the TOS at me on this one  ).

Which is why Adelphia has been in the process of upgrading the entire region around State Highway 7 since they aquired those systems. Of course the bankruptcy delayed things but the area that isn't fully upgraded is shrinking pretty quickly. Sorry you seem to be stuck in one of the last to see the upgrades...
It's not your fault, but I appreciate the sentiment. Again, you say they are upgrading around State Highway 7(441). Will that effect all the people that have the old Boynton System? Or will it be again another updated system that doesn't include my area?

Good question Mac. You tell me where my other 10 channels are. You have come up with a different channel lineup for Boynton now.

The basic system in BOYNTON is extremely old and you know it, Adelphia knows it, and everyone in boynton knows it.

Why is the non-upgraded area of Boyton Beach listed as having 62 channels not including the digital channels that are also available? With Digital it seems that another 30 channels, without counting the inDemand and music only channels, are available.i

Look Mac, we can debate Powerlink all day and you probably would kill me at it. But when it comes to cable, you can't argue. The cable stinks. There ARE only 52 basic channels in my area while other AREAS are getting way more than that. The basic system in BOYNTON is extremely old and you know it, Adelphia knows it, and everyone in boynton knows it.
