Momo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Our local electric coop got a government grant of 20 million dollars to build a fiber optic network. It provided tv cable, internet broadband and phone service in a package that was to be competitive with the big boy in town (Charter). It FINALLY went on line less than 2 years ago. They started out the same price, but then a few months ago raised their rate by about 30$ a month. I couldn't figure out how they charged more when they got the network set up mostly at taxpayer expense. Any way, they are now pulling out of the business entirely. No reason given. It just irritates me as a taxpayer. Grrrr! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'd make them pay the money back or sell all of the stuff they bought with the money, and give it back. Good thing I'm not in charge...of anything. Quote Link to comment

Momo Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Someone else is supposed to take over the network. Rumors are flying all over the place. No news in the paper or on tv so who knows what is really going on. Quote Link to comment
