As a brand new home owner at TV and one who is not on site at the present time let me say this........Cable companies have a virtual monopoly throughout the country unless one wants dish. It seems in most part of the of the country we have choices for electric phone ,natural gas suppliers, propane but never for cable. The Telecommunication ACt of 1996 gave away the store to cable companies. I am trying to figure out how in the world I can get my cable put on vacation schedule here in Ohio for two months when I visit the villages this fall. Every time I talk to a representative I get a different story. I also want to start basic cable and more importantly Internet when I come to the villages in late September. Even the vacation plans at Comcast have many restrictions and it does not make it easy to suspend the service. I will probably cancel my Time Warner service here in Ohio when I come to Florida in the fall and started up again when I return. I may have to do the same thing with Comcast. Any suggestions that any of you have would be appreciated.
