- Yes. I've lived in several Colorado cities as well as the Coastside
- and Union City, and San Mateo has the worst in terms of the number
- of stations available. For some $23 I got many more channels in basic
- service than I get for $30+ now. This company is apparantly investing
- in technology to increase the capacity so that they can add more pay-
- per-view stations! Why aren't they interested in upgrading to more
- standard service first? (I will grant that I don't have trouble with
- the service going down, but I didn't in Union City or El Granada, either.)
