I think once the infrastructure is up, Metrocast just wants it to go away.

My sister has excellent service in NC. She has a number of cable service to choose from. I'm not sure who owns the infrastructure.
The city needs to get involved and force Metrocast to recertify the system. They are most likely violating multiple aspects of their charter agreement and/or basic FCC requirements. If the town won't/can't do that, they wouldn't do any better maintaining a system on their own.

Not sure if Laconia has a telecom board or not.
