3: You know nothing about CATV franchises. 'A measly 100 feet' is
more than adequate for a hell of a lot of drops & house wiring. If that
is what the franchise calls for, THAT IS THE SPECIFICATION, no matter
how much you whine like Sloman. A city or county won't pull a franchise
over one or two people complaining about weak signals. They receive a
fixed percentage of the system revenue every month, and the percentage
was set when the economy was up. If they pull the franchise, another
provider will offer a much lower percentage. It also involves legal
fees, and causes the rates to go up for the users. Why put up with all
that for a fraction of a percent of problems. Like people who built a
private road a mile long and want to pay the standard install fee when
it will cost about $15,000 to run a feeder for that one house. Or like
that marina. It isn't a street. It's private property. If they want
better service, let them pay for upgrades with .500 cable to each boat,
with a .500 to 'F" connector for each boat. That would only cost a few
hundred dollars a boat for materials. More if the cable is jacketed.
If it isn't it won't last long in salt air. Double that for the
hardware and labor to get a good idea of the costs.


Oh, that's right. You're too cheap to even have cable TV.

Read more carefully. I said TV doesn't matter to us, it is not about cost.


Then why are you being such an ignorant prick about the issue when
you have no horse in the race? You sound more like Dimbulb every day.
I used to think highly of you, but no longer

Geez Michael, one stupid thread and you trash years of positive
experience?

Just the same, i didn't expect him to even think of pretending knowledge
where he was not well versed in the specific area under discussion.


I'm in a lot more pain lately, and I'm having a harder time
controlling my temper. I am dropping a lot of things, between carpal
Tunnel & nerve damage to my hands. I am also tired of hearing lies from
doctors. For some reason, my medication for enlarged prostrate was put
on hold for 90 days, and not being able to sleep more than an hour or
two at a time is starting to get to me after two months without more
than four hours sleep a night. There are days that I want them to cut
my damn legs off, to get rid of the constant pain. they hurt when I lay
down. They hurt when i get up. They hurt when I'm sitting, and when
I'm walking. I have been waiting over a year for the proper surgical
support stockings, only to be told a few days ago that it's no longer
available. I waited over five years for a pair of diabetic shoes. I
couldn't find anything that fit, so I was wearing a pair of old shoes
that should have been tossed three years ago. 10 years ago my feet were
8.5 wide. Because of Diabetes and circulation problems, they are now 11
EEEEEE (yes, 6E) and some days I have trouble even getting those on. I
have 'Turned the other cheek' so many times that I no longer care.
