"To the cable guy came gave me a bigger better connection so as to empower me to have even more SI discustings" I envy you. Our local cable company (Linesville Triaxial Cablevision) has refused to wire our neighborhood. Another cable company (Armstrong Cable), thinking that our little community could be quite lucrative, went ahead and wired the neighborhood. Linesville Triaxial Cablevision then sued, claiming that our township had granted them an exclusive franchise. Linesville Triaxial Cablevision won, so Armstrong was not able to activate service. Five years later, we still don't have cable. So much for the competition from deregulation.
