On AT&T provides TV, Internet in Janesville

Posted on October 28 at 8:47 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

AT&T only has to serve areas of this city it wants to. (translation: they want the high end areas because they can sell multiple services and high end packages there.)

Banks used to do this with mortgages, refusing to lend in certain areas. It's called "red-lining" and (rightly so) its has long been illegal for banks practice.

Not so for AT&T, the city has said they will be alllowed to "cherry pick". I guess competition is good for those who can afford it.

No thanks...I'll stick with Charter.

What about Janesville? Is there anything our leaders can do to get an Amtrak stop here...it would certainly help on gas consumption.

On Rotary Gardens to charge fee

One of the reasons the Gardens draw so many people is precisely because they are free.
Can't the money be raised in some other way: parking charges, higher facility rental fees, advertising or sponsorship rights?
It might be as simple as signage with "XYZ Co. is a proud sponsor of the Rotary Gardens"?

On No Big Ten Network yet for Charter customers

The Charter folks down on Plainfield are most certainly not crooks. They are neighbors who work, live and pay taxes in this community. They have always been easy to deal with when I have gone in there with problems.

Don't see any Big Ten Network employees contributing to our economy.

Wow, (ithappens) your Dad spanked ADHD out of you? Did he drop you on your head too?

ADHD is a neurological condition caused by a chemical imbalance. But forget about all that "science stuff" apparently your Dad knew the "real cure" for these conditions was child abuse.

Mainstreet--pretty sad that switching to the DISH outranks your wedding and the birth of your children.

It is just television, I pity you.

If my power goes out then my cordless phones don't work anyway...ever heard of cell phones? Unlimited long distance still the best way to go and no charge for extra features. I am a satisfied customer. By the way, BUNDLE is spelled "le" not "el"

Charter Bundle still the cheapest way to go. Looked at all other options, can't beat their price. Customer service is sometimes slow, what isen't...tried calling AT&T Wireless lately?

On AT&T officials answer questions from concerned residents

"AT&T wisely started putting up the boxes before making a public proclamation." Are we expected to view this as a virtue? Why not let residents know what is going on and let the people decide...or do we need local politicians to decide what is good for us?
