TDS vs. Metrocast

BroadHopper · 07-09-2012, 08:51 PM

I keep unpluging the router at least twice a week and every now and then I lose my HD channels. I get a no or low signal error on my HDTV. Everytime I call Metrocast they ask the same questions over and over, like a recording. Why can't they just send a technician over and check it out?

Satelite TV does not have WMTW or WCSH. I don't have clear site to the satelite.

I gave up land-line and use my cell. Fairpoint have no intention of adding fiber optics in the area for DSL.

I did have an antenna until the stations went digital. After spending big bucks for a digital antenna and free converter, I complained to FCC, I have no reception. Not one word from them.

I tried Google TV using HDMI cable. My internet connection is choppy.

Anything else I can try?

Wait until Verizon gets LTE up here and buy yourself one of their 4g cell hotspots. It's as far north as Loudon, I got a 4g signal coming south out of the dead spot by rocky pond on 106 just last week!
