Re: Finally
I cant speak for other RCN locations, but here in NYC people will literally not move into an apartment if the building requires tentants to use RCN. I kid you not. They have the worlds worst cable TV as well.

| wifi4milez: Any building by NYC law is required to allow time warner in regardless. Any person in a building that will not allow time warner in should contact the NYC DOITT. If one tenant wants service, Time Warner has to be allowed in. That is NYC city law.
RCN's picture quality is indeed less to be desired and they use microwave feeds and the picture quality is flaky. I switched to Time Warner. RCN needs to fix this and then they will get customers back. RCN has a total new team and we shall see what happens going forward however. |

There are certain buildings where the management has deals with RCN, and they will not allow TWC in. In fact certian property managemers will only allow RCN in all of their buildings. I am not a lawyer, however this has been going on for years and as I mentioned, people have opted not to move into the RCN buildings due to the terrible service. I have even seen the RCN clause listed on a lease that my friend signed.

I know you can complain to DoITT and all but how far is that likely to get you? I've dealt a lot with the DoITT bureacrats in my last job (as a contractor for another city agency) and while you may get some action, you also might be wasting your time.
I knew of a friend of mine who lived in a building in Brooklyn who was forced to take DirecTV.
I used to live in a building serviced by RCN, but it was RCN microwave which was really crappy. Then I moved out to a part of Queens where Time Warner refused to provide digital service and I had to get RCN for cable modem service.
Regular RCN isn't so bad but the microwave RCN with one way cable modem blows goats. |
