  So happy for you! I’m still stuck with shady cable as they cancelled the 2024 rollout.

  I swear Cable internet was propped up by hidden fees and promo pricing.

    The way they are rolling through Central Virginia I’d say they will have most of VA done soon (relative to years). Even Bumpass has it now.

  Comcast still offers fiber in some places, doesn’t mean Comcast will go away.

    Does for me! They just ran FIOS and GloFiber through our yard last month.

    Comcast doesn’t necessarily have to go away as long as they don’t have a monopoly on the infrastructure used to deliver an essential utility to homes. But I’d have to agree it would be nice if they just went away too.
