[Cialug] Fine Print - Broadband suggestions?

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

They don't just raise rates while reducing quality with their data 
service. I get basic cable with them and over the course of about 3 
years the bill has increased 50% and the image quality is noticeably 
worse. Though it is analog cable, it appears they send the signal 
through a low-bandwidth digital conversion at some point because 
whenever the image changes quickly there are ugly blocky compression 
artifacts. It didn't used to be that way. Maybe i can convince my 
roommates that we don't need cable at all. Why bother watching TV when 
there is a whole internet to play with?
