Len, I respect your opinion but to have a perpetual agreement or what ever it's called is just crazy. I will never believe a better contract could not have been negotiated and OP still have service if they had better information and knew more even back then. I simply do not trust the BOD to make good decisions about the type service or software OP needs. History repeating itself again.

I'm getting the same message from my wiser inner self that I had about other issues involving OP spending money and long term comittments, like the YC. I do not support a software purchase now without more detailed information about outsourcing. It would be foodish to do so, especially with a "wizzard" involved.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Peggy,

think about the long term Medicom contract a past BOD negotiated and OP is stuck with now. We are all so pleased with that decision. NOT!

If that past BOD had not signed a long term contract with Mediacom (or some other cable company) OP would not have any cable service today. That is simply how the Cable TV industry in the US got built out. (More details in message # 1016206.)

But you are lucky. You can rewrite history for your home: just cancel your Mediacom service. No bill, no cable for you. Just as if the last 40 years had never happened. Easy!
