Re: Don't take Cox's word for it
There is always going to be a struggle for power and money no matter where you live. I will give you an example:
Where I live, Cox held out on cable modems and digital broadband/T.V. service for 2 years after SBC deployed their DSL network. Why? Because Cox wanted the city to sign a franchise agreement that GUARANTEED them monopolistic control in the area before they bothered with upgrade, or HSI deployment. The city finally awarded them a 10 year franchise agreement and within a year, offered digital and HSI service. A neighboring town just 10 miles away had these advanced services at about the same time SBC came to bat with DSL.
You will *never* see a rival T.V. entertainment network anywhere else in this town unless it is piped in on satellite. Can't wait to see what schenanigans will arise next when the franchise agreement expires here in a few more years. Oh, and also being part of the M.A.C. service region - yep, their best "home" class, let alone business class offerings are only 1/6 the offering SBC provisions. I really want to see Cox improve their network because I really want to see the next freebie SBC tosses my way to keep my business.
