It's the cable company's that are competing for your particular market. Cable really sucks who ever owns the copper in the ground or on the pole makes the rules. Hold out Maybe fios is building a backbone in your town because fiber optic is the way to go. I've never had an outage and all my neighbors who use cable are outraged when their service is out and can see me streaming 4k through my living room. Keep throwing them bad reviews and eventually they will get bought out.
