After 51 weeks since my neighbor contacted the county concerning our lack of cable services here, we now have it! Finally high speed internet, Cable TV and phone services.
Oceanic is obligated to make it available in areas where there are 25 or more houses within a mile.
Cable was run all the way down Makuu, so this might help others between Ala Heiau and 16th, where it used to end, I believe.
When I contacted Dish Network to cancel they wanted to know my reason. I told them cable was here now and I could get a small number of channels for only $11.50 a month, instead of the $45+ they have been charging me for a full package I never wanted for years. Every year I checked to see if they would provide me a cheaper package and the reply was always that I was on their cheapest package. However when I told them what I could get from Oceanic, suddenly they could offer me a basic package of TV channels for $14.95. I was stunned. Seems when they had me over a barrel they extracted as much money as they could as they knew I had no choice. Now with a choice, they get competitive. I told them I thought their offer was offensive and I wanted them to cancel my services immediately.
