Funny, we have fiber optic, and high capacity cable. The companies put them in around the same time each trying to be first, assuming that the company there first would get the business.We use the telco for our phone and internet connection, both of which are 100% fiber optic. The telco even installed the optic cable from their phone drop to the closet where I keep my main NIC switch, a little over 300' on their own dime. Outages are rare. I could get faster service if I paid more. We also have cable TV service, big thick new cable all through town. Actually if I were to upgrade my bandwidth I would do it through the cable provider since that would give me two routes to the backbone. You can get all services from either provider, but cable providers do not like servers on their customers networks. The phone company is ok with my running servers, and I can also relay through their MX at no cost. LION thinks you need reliable companies in your town. The cable provider is Mid-Continent, and the telco provider is Consolidated (CTCTEL), a rural cooperative.

Co-Op Association won't allow dishes to be installedIf you have a window that faces the SE sky, I'd suggest using the solution that a number of Canadians use with their illegal American satellite dishes, and install the unit yourself inside of your home near the window. |

Of course ... and the cable company lifted its sword from its quiver, waved it around and made every effort to stop the madness whilst pocketing another couple of bucks per subscriber per month for itself with the valid excuse. We'll be right back after this important message. :) |

It was ABC (also Disney like ESPN) that did that, and FOX started the shakedowns prior. CBS is up in the fall and they'll be sure to be pulling more of the same since THIS trick works every time. |

Yeah sadly and we all pay for it too :( TBH if we lose CBS I wouldn't be too upset as there isn't anything we watch on that channel, but would feel bad for those that do watch CBS.Mr. Gov't needs to do something, I know everything was deregulated but maybe regulation wasn't so bad. |

It was against the rules for landlords to take kickbacks for "exclusivity" ... problem solved, agency was abolished, and so was that rule. GOT the picture yet? |

You were right TWC just sent an e-mail to us announcing they reached a deal w/ESPN and ABC/Disney and to sugar coat it they will now offer some internet-based channels as well as a few new channels on cable.They are BS. |

I don't know if anyone in this thread has mentioned it but from what I was told,under Federal law landlords and co op associations can't deny residents the right to install a dish if that is the resident's choice. |

That's unfortunate, but the times they are a changing and with the current dissatisfaction with the present officeholders on all levels of government, it wouldn't surprise me if the government of necessity does grow a pair big enough to put these big utilities in their place. What is needed is a government ready willing and able to enact regulations for ALL Industries and then enFORCE them to the absolute fullest extent of the law. If that means incarcerating every last business executive in the country in real PRISONS and not white collar country clubs then SO BE IT!!! |

Welllll ... this ain't the right crew room to go with it, but suffice it to say that the guided political "thinking" is that making companies do what is right and moral is the very modern definition of "communism" among the new "elite." Anything that gets in the way of the complete plundering of what's left is countered with screaming from those most affected by it all on behalf of those who could give a crap and want their bonuses multiplied for doing so. :(Gotta leave it there, this is the wrong board for that ... |
