We gave up all internet sources at our house. I haven't followed this at all, because I knew it wasn't going to reach our neighborhood, and that I wasn't going to pay for it unless it is even cheaper than dirt.

It's not in my area but pushing to get it. F Time Warner, I'm tired of their service.
Eddie!! Watch it man! TWC is my living :cjump:
I can respect that and I wish you well in you career but when my girl's shows are on ABC and they were blacked out for 10+ days, It does not make for a happy household. No competition has made TWC lazy and I hate to say it but I'm sure TWC is shitting themselves right now. Eventually all the premium channels will get onboard with google... I'll let the pricing/service/performance be my deciding factor when FIBER hits my neighborhood.

Didnt know of a blackout down there. That definetly sucks. However, every communications company goes through negotiations. Where I am, there is Fios and TWC and both major Dish companies. Directv just lost their contract with AMC and 12 other channels. 2 yrs ago, Dish network lost MSG and VS, and still hasnt gotten them back. Up here TWC lost MSG for a week or so. Comes down to money. Networks want more money, and in turn, if providers get charged more, then we (customers) get charged more. So they try to push back until both sides can meet with minimal effect on the customer. Kinda blows, but thats what happens. Anyway, I was just messing with ya, everyone has their own opinion. Just figured it razz ya a bit!!
