Thanks eveybody for the help... Do they offer the option to shut off service if you have a seasonal cottage?

I know they allow this in New Durham. I assume Alton would be the same.

We have Metrocast cable service at Sandy Point and we also shut it down for the season and then can call in the spring to re-activate. They have an 800# so we can call toll free from NJ to give them the new start-up date each year. I don't believe there is a service charge for this. Also, for phones, Union Telecommunications lets you shut down service for the winter but charges 1/2 the normal flat rate to keep your number in your name.

There is a charge to turn service off ($5) but not to turn it on (or vice versa)
