We have 2 separate cable providers in our town. One of them is a division of the local telephone company, but it is still CATV plant. The telco also operates a FTTH service with IPTV video as well.
The result is that the big national CATV provider had incredibly good rates for a long time, and even after they were more than doubled, are still really good.
