I'm glad someone is bringing it.

I had hopes that it would be us but I couldn't swing the $100million buildout.

We are going to keep working through the rural areas connecting those areas with high speed fiber going forward.

Guess those of us in CS will still be stuck with Suddenlink.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

There's a few people who like to fuel the "rivalry" and staff edits. While I prefer to live in Bryan, I'm not one of those who tries to start *****

Raintree is in the process of getting Frontier Fiber...

Reviews show that it doesn't seem like much of an improvement from Suddenlink as far as customer service but maybe some competition will make all parties straighten up and fly right!

MetroLink also said on WTAW that they're talking to CS also, but wouldn't characterize the talks beyond that they were happening.

Still, score one for Bryan for being first to bat on this.

For now, but the competition should be good for everyone.

Did Bryan just get approved by voters for the city to offer high speed internet? If so kudos to them for working with a private company to do this instead of choosing to hold it for themselves.

WTAW reported everything inside the city limits, I believe. They quoted someone who said they would not let the company serve just the "rich" areas.

That's correct. But it'll take a couple years to build out. Who gets it first is the question - and I don't think an answer to that has been shared yet.

The WTAW story actually quoted a guy who said something to the effect of "special emphasis on 'underserved' areas..."

If it's the entire Bryan City Limits then technically it will be in College Station as well. Parts of Bryan City Limits have a College Station address.

Could someone point me to the actual agreement between Bryan and MetroNet/CMN-RUS? I am having trouble finding it on Bryan's website.
