The big guys don't want competition

A community based ISP in Wilson, North Carolina offers all-in-one internet, cable and phone service to compete with the big guys (Time-Warner).

Check out this deal. Expanded basic cable (81 channels), 10 Mbps (download and upload), and a digital phone plan with unlimited long distance to the US and Canada, all for $100. Better yet - every single cable channel plus all premium channels, unlimited phone service, and 20Mbps internet for $170. Time-Warner is trying to lobby the North Carolina senate to pass legislation outlawing community ISPs because they can't compete. Muffin.

Let's see, I pay $200 for some premium channels, 600 minutes of long distance in Canada only after 6pm and on weekends and 3Mbps internet.

Greenlight! Come to Calgary!
