Hi,

I was wondering if Sharon was going to offer Fios? I saw a few trucks out doing line work I bewlieve yesterday, but I couldn't make out if it was for fiber or not. I'm dying to get fiber optic right now I have cable!

Great, so we're stuck to stinking Comcast or the better alternatives of Satellite TV's but no super fast internet connection

The Selectmen brought this up again at a recent meeting but not sure which one. Cable has some meetings online http://www.fcatv.org/selectmen.php . It would be nice to have a few more alternatives, especially considering all the rearranging of stations and tiers that comcast has done lately.

It's up to the local boards to grant the franchise.

We really need some cable competition. Comcast's charges are out of control.

Well the good thing is, Comcast is not going to start charging for downloads over the internet, so you won't be seeing any increases in your cable bills, if you happen to have that particular package...
What? They are going to do that????
OOPS, Sorry Foxboro...
SUCK IT!

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Pisces

There's a clash today between the past and the present. Someone wants to dwell nostalgically on the good old days but someone else is determined to forget all that and only concentrate on the here and now. The trouble is that neither side will want to concede to the other person's point of view, leading to bad feelings and upsets. If you are one of these people, try not to be too entrenched in your own opinions.
