Metrocast change

Call Metrocast a number of times to register the DTA for technologically challenged folks yesterday. The message says the system is down. Good thing they did not start scrambling the channels.

Replace my HD DTA with another one. The signal is the same as before 1040 SD rather then 1040i. Dolby Stereo rather than 5.1. Even with a Best Buy 'gold' HDMI cable, TV reset and on the HDMI(DVI) 1 socket.

I've been using the Roku stick for most of my video last month. Notice my streaming keep losing connections. Netflix and others blamed it on Metrocast slowing the streaming down when you reach a 250 GB monthly limit. Netflix pointed me to a metrocast site that shows usage. http://portal.metrocast.net/usagemeter/

Call Metrocast and they deny slowing down the internet speed. The website is just FYI and the 250GB is just a reference.

Hopefully there will be competition soon. Fairpoint will be a formidable player if they adopt the g.fast technology. http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/16/tech...eds/index.html
