All that being said, I'm lucky in that I've had good service from Cox over the years, albeit at a higher cost. I was able to get a basic Ethernet connection at home in 1996 through the @Home network. For me, that was a watershed moment in history! They ran fiber past all the houses, but this fed distribution points that delivered co-ax to clusters of about eight residences. So we were "close" to getting direct fiber. Sigh...
I'm in a similar situation with Rogers in Canada. They were also @home back then. Like you I have fibre to my area and coax into my home. Around here the cables are owned by Rogers or the phone company. Anyone else is simply a reseller. However, in some areas, there are other fibre providers and newer areas are fibre only. Copper simply wasn't run in. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
