MGWillia - Just bought a Condo up there myself and went through the same process as you.
(1) Metrocast has a Monopoly as a service provider
(2) I did not find the rates outrageous as some indicate here -- compared to our Comcast in MA
(3) There are three options of Internet Service -- get the middle grade - what they call "High Speed"
(4) unlike most others - there is very little (but some) savings by going with their Triple Play option (TV, Data, Phone)-- as ours is a secondary residence we opted out of phone and just use cells
(4) We have had it up an running and have experienced no issues (contrary to what I was led to believe) the unfortunate part is that Metrocast is a "copper" based infrastructure (not fiber backbone)
(5) don't fret over this detail of your move, with Metrocast they HAVE to come out to the house to install, it is not a "flip of the switch" at the CO like most other services. Sit back and wait till your here to get this done -- they are quite readily available for service/installation calls
