Exactly! They needed to redo the cable plant to offer just one of the three services they do now (digital cable/telephone/internet) so the fact that they get to do all of them just by upgrading one thing works out to be a bonus for them.. Or at least makes it cost effective. Plus, like I said in an early post, in a lot of the towns they needed to be redone anyway to fix leakage because of some FCC regs so the plant would have been rebuilt regardless of the new services. That's why some smaller towns got rebuilt before larger ones next to it, because they had a more leaky cable plant put in by some mom and pop cable company back in the late 70s early 80s. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
