January 25, 2023 small town with only one cable provider at the time. It was fun exciting and affordable. Fortunately as time went on the pricing got more expensive Other cable providers Came into compete. With time in the availability of other providers they really had to step up and offer something unique. They did, they became one of the biggest companies in the country and that reflected in the price. They still offer a great service but it has but it has become very expensive it is forced me to look around for more affordable options.
