Old School Cable Providers

That is awesome that you guys remembered those. I can't think of any at all and I have been racking my brain to try and remember at least one of them from the old days.

Was one of them select tv?

In my area "TCI" was the largest that eventually became comcast.
At that time i went to Sprint DSL training and internet over cable didn't exist yet.
Sprint claimed their DSL format could bring up to 200Mbs over existing twisted pair.
As we now know, that never happened.
I recall telling the instructor that i felt that internet over coax would be much faster and the cable company infrastructure was already there.
I invested all i could spare in cable internet.
One of the best decisions i ever made.
Today we can get 1Gbs over cable.

I remember before Comcast there was 'Home' which basically only had internet but I believe it was eventually taken over by Comcast because that was where our email went when Comcast came through.
