If you indicated anything less than very satisfied with cable television service, why are you not very satisfied?
Internet speeds are extremely variable. I have never come close to reaching 50MBs but have been under 1MBs at least once.
For those who don’t subscribe, why have you chosen not to subscribe to Cox or Verizon FiOS cable television service?
I cancled cable TV not internet due to cost and the fact that I have to pay for a ton of channels I will never watch. If I could pay for the few I wanted I would consider resubscribing.

Is there anything else you’d like to say about cable television service or VBTV in Virginia Beach?
