Your cable company was granted a monopoly by the local government, and monopolies can do whatever they want. Satellite is often an option if you don't like those schmucks.

ryoder 1,590 #5 June 29, 2007 And you have just described the phone company as well. Don't you remember Lily Tomlin's "Ernestine" character? "We don't care. We don't have to.

Gawain 0 #8 June 30, 2007 If you're in a Verizon local telco area, contact them and find out if they're offering FiOS in your neighborhood. That'll give you phone, crazy-fast (fiber) internet and TV if licensed in the area.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Verizon is only authorized on the West Coast of FL, i.e. the Tampa Area; those of us in the other parts of FL will have to wait for AT&T's U-Verse to become available. VRADs are being installed in the Miami area and there are rumors that the Orlando/Daytona area will be next. Don't worry about the storm interference on a dish in FL. I had DISH when we moved into the house and the outages were not all that common or long; I went to DIRECTV this March and have had only 2 so far for a total of 20 minutes. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
