Steve Kinlin AOL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 7, 2008 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!
bob Walpole, MA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 May 17, 2008 Great, so we're stuck to stinking Comcast or the better alternatives of Satellite TV's but no super fast internet connection
Concerned Townie Since: Feb 08 13 Centerville, MA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 May 18, 2008 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.
Josh Brockton, MA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 May 18, 2008 It's up to the local boards to grant the franchise. We really need some cable competition. Comcast's charges are out of control.
Tina Fab Rehoboth, MA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jun 9, 2008 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!
