Yet, here, where I live, only 47 road miles from New York City, I have a ca=
ble company who sells me metered (yes, METERED) DOCSIS, for nearly $100/mon=
th, 35/3. The limitation is like 100 GB/month or something (the equivalent =
of the amount of Netflix or AppleTV my kids watch in a weekend) No alternat=
ives, no FiOS, no nothing. Well, I can get 3/.768 DSL if I please.
Someone, please help me.
Please.
