Yes I'm aware who owned Adelphia and his son.

I stopped using Direct TV, that I installed on my roof, after Adelphia started offering. Direct TV, at that time, came in a box that you self installed (cost was $40 I believe).

Did he have a cable contract with the town, as required by law?

Adelphia was the name of the cable company, as the town contract indicates, since 2001.

Were these cable companies or fixed wireless internet companies! They are far from being the same.

Were they ISP's (internet service providers).?

Please post a Google link of Pegasus or Amrac for Moultonborough, NH


Thanks
It was Amrac, Pegasus (thanks SDN), State, Adelphia, Time Warner then Spectrum. I have no interest to find a Google link, talk to some other old timers here in M'boro that were involved in communications/IT.

Yes, it was a sanctioned cable system... visit the town offices and research it. Talk to one of the selectmen that were around then.

They were cable companies, I owned the only town fixed wireless system (at the time) and did so for decades, so yes, I know the differences.

IIRC, Pegasus introduced a .5M internet, and it grew in capacity as other owners bought it.

I'm really thru with this thread, except for questions about Sandwich.

I appreciate everyone's useful input.
