Network Sierra member Bob Ingalls writes:
I had an action item from our first Network Sierra meeting to talk to Greg Applegate regarding the Comcast contract. Greg referred me to Marian Jackson (Government Affairs) of Comcast.Marian told me that after Comcast upgrades their network, they will be offering Internet and telephone service. The key word is AFTER the upgrade as their current network does not have the capacity.
She also stated that they do stick to their 40 connections per cable mile. Their standard is that they have to cover the cost of installation in 60 months or the customer can pay for the cost for the connection. She estimated to get Comcast cable into Lambert Lake Estates would cost $100,000.
Bob notes that at such a cost, it is highly unlikely that a subdivision such as Lambert Lake Estates will be served. He has also forwarded this information to the Board of Supervisors.
