I am on my computer alot and I have used dialup 56k since the beginning. I plan on getting a new computer soon and what I HOPED to do was LAN my two computers in my house with the cable connection. Problem is, there is no cable provider in my frickin area! I live in northwest Indiana and there is a fairly large city (Valparaiso) 6 miles from me and they have everything. I live in a fairly small town (Wanatah) but why can't they get their bootys out here!? I know of tons of people who would subscribe INSTANTLY to cable if it was out here. If anyone can tell me if Mid-American Cable Co. can offer cable internet to Wanatah just like they do TV I'd really appreciate it!
Hey Don!! I may have some good news! I live down in Evansville, IN. 3rd largest in Indiana. Down here we have SIGECOM Owned by SIGECO, otherwise know as vectren.. up the same people who give most of us hoosiers electricity... anyways... they started SIGECOM here in Evansville, and have expanded into nearby Newburgh. I read in the paper yesterday they are trying to get up into Indy here soon too. They offer: digital telephone service, cable and digital cable TV,& al up and cable modem service. I am one of their customers. We have been VERY pleased withn them so far. I have clocked my speeds at T1 quality. If you get 2 of their services they give you a 10% discount on your TOTAL bill, if you order 3, you get 20% discount... We order three, so we pay only $90 a month for the following: DIGITAL PHONE: 17.96/month - includes call waiting, caller ID, 3way calling, auto busy redial and the clearest telephone service I have ever had DIGITAL CABLE:$35/month 200 channels including 3HBO's 4 ENCORES, all starz, all cinamax's and 40 channels of digital commercial free music HIGH SPEED INTERNET CABLE MODEM SERVICE:$49.95 they do full installation (WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR HOME UNTILL YOUR UP AND RUNNING!!!) provides your modem and nic card. 24hr tech and customer service line.(although I've never had to use it because we have NEVER had a problem)
Our bill has NEVER been higher than $95 bucks a month and it only got that high because of pay-per-view. They are looking to expand anywhere and everywhere in Indiana... give them a call: 812-469-0345, write them @: SIGECOM 6045 Wedeking Ave. Evansville, IN 47715 Or visit their website @: www.sigecom.net
Maybe you can get something going!! Good luck and let me know what happens and what you think!
