Also, their local office is in Plymouth, I believe. I've only been there once but it's a bit out of the way IMO.

Many areas around the lake have Metrocast and the company seems to be making an effort to improve and expand their business into every possible nook and cranny. (Not arguing with IslandRadio -- just something on the "mainland" perhaps?)

So I was just hoping...

thanks again!
Get a copy of the franchise agreement that TW has with the town. The Town Administrator can supply this. Look for the line extension section - see what it says. There are generally prerequisites such as so many subscribers per mile, etc. that you (and your neighbors) may very well meet. The town administrator may know the contract well enough to point out exactly where the pertinent section is located.

Check it out!
