@DCGoldPants Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm sure most of us have seen those ads on TV lately. Is this coming soon? I've noticed that Comcast raised the price again. I can't get a dish because no clear shot from my deck to the Southern Sky. Anybody know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hopefully, Verizon should be able to provide cable service once FiOS becomes more widespread. I think they're already available in Herndon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The power companies are looking to get into the telecom business. They are starting to offer broadband using the powerlines as the network. I'm sure if they can do that they would be able to pipe a TV signal over the powerlines as well.

Zguy28 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Down in the boondocks where I live you can't even get Verizon DSL! Only Metrocast Cable or Dialup. I wish the power companies would do it. Mine tested it last year, but haven't heard since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Down in the boondocks where I live you can't even get Verizon DSL! The ironic part is you'll probably be able to get FiOS Internet access eventually, so you'll be going right from dialup to 15Mb download speeds... :laugh: Verizon is really pushing FiOS heavily. My future in-laws have never been able to get DSL in Buffalo, now they're getting things sent to them from Verizon for FiOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Ya ya, I'm stuck with RTF broadband for the same price as cable. 350k/sc max. 45/month. It SUCKS. :type: :readnews: :munchout: :snore: page is loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3553 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 i have adelphia and i don't mind it. they don't make you sign a contract and they don't care if you downgrade your service. it's still pretty expensive, but it's good to know i will be able to get away from them if i find something better without having to pay any fees. the picture quality with adelphia is a lot better than cox. i always hated cox. i had a problem with my adelphia internet a couple months ago. the problem only lasted a week or so, but they didn't charge me at all for that whole month. i can't complain too much.
