Gotta love how the town committee can sign sweetheart deals with Comcast and regulate monopolies.

I can walk to the Norton line, the town committee is definitely in the mix, however, FIOS also wanted certain guarantees |

If fios is in Mansfield you will eventually get it. They build out all of the Aerial and easy to do stuff first, they usually have to have the whole town complete within 3-5 years. Underground and direct buried is usually last.
The contracts with the towns are cookie cutter, they wont be buying police cars and fire engines to get into a town. If the residents want it they should hold the towns responsible. The hacks want everything fo nothing.

That can be said about a number of companies Comcast included. everyone has a nightmare story about one company or another, they all deal with millions of customers and no one can be perfect. |

I want my friggin' World Fishing Network that i've waited on the phone for an hour to get numerous times, that repeatedly disappears. I will not resort to watching reality TV this winter, i'd rather put a gun to my head

FX has some pretty excellent shows coming this winter.
The misses and I have been watching American Horror Story and are glued to the tv for each episode. |
