Alan,

A lot of people love the higher speeds that Cable Broadband offers.

I refuse to have Cable installed here.

Thirty or Fourty years ago when Cable TV started being offered in the
area, the Cable Company offered a Porn TV Channel for those who wanted
to subscribe to it.

With what I knew about Electronics and Ham Radio, my thoughts were that
I wouldn't want Cable Service because the Porn TV channel and the Decent
TV channels were all traveling on that very same cable (coaxial wire)
from the equipment the Cable Company uses.

I didn't want to pay them to help keep their equipment operating,
because of their piggybacking junk along with the normal TV programs.

Years ago they discontinued offering the Porn option, but my opinion
hasn't changed about my desire not to help them maintain their
equipment.

I have a outside TV Antenna + Antenna Rotor and use a Digital Convertor
to receive Free "Over The Air" TV programming.

I don't want to 'pay' for the privilege to turn off TV programming that
I consider offensive, so I won't have Cable installed.

\\Soapbox Off//

Nuff Said.
