Not sure what you are trying to make a point against TW still? TW has investment alot in WNY since adelphia and alot of shit is going on behind scenes to free up bandwidth in their existing system. FTTH is nice, let me just say if i could get it at a good deal i’d go with it probably… Now with that aside, FTTH is a gimmick, noone will need that much bandwidth off the pole and into their basement, its their because they need the equipment to turn optical (fiber) into RF (coax) For those that have verizon, i’d heard the electric bill goes up once this is installed, is that true? I’m not stating this as a point, so don’t bash if its not, just a very simple question. Verizon will have the upper hand for awhile, then another company will come out with a newer product, this is how it always is. One company has the upper hand until it gets passed, which is happening to TW fast in WNY. ---

TW doesn’t guarantee any speed to your door. That’s the problem. Sometimes you can get 10Mbs, and others you are lucky to get 500Kbs ---

It has nothing to do with proximity and everything to do with how many people are connected to the same hub. More people downloading, the slower it is for everyone. ---

I’m not reading the thread or waiting for a response but I’ll say my piece. Why shouldn’t Time Warner pay for the most watched channels on TV (network TV stations)? They’re the ones their customers want to see more than any others as per TV ratings. They pay for the Food Network and other channels whose viewer base is a tiny fraction of a network station. This seems like a no brainer. They won’t be broadcasting over the airwaves much longer and how many people do you know that get their TV reception in that manner anyways? I don’t see how that’s a legitimate argument. ---

Analog signals will not be broadcast after feb 19. Digital will still be broadcast over the airwaves. > **[Digital television](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television)** > > Digital television (DTV) is the transmission of television signals using digital encoding, in contrast to the earlier analog television technology which used analog signals. At the time of its development it was considered an innovative advancement and represented the first significant evolution in television technology since color television in the 1950s. Modern digital television is transmitted in high-definition television (HDTV) with greater resolution than analog TV. It typically uses a w ---
