For subscribers, how satisfied are you with your current cable television service?
Dissatisfied
If you indicated anything less than very satisfied with cable television service, why are you not very satisfied?
I don't order Cable television, however I do order internet through Cox and am generally dissatisfied due to intermittent connectivity, annoying marketing phone calls, high prices in comparison to other markets, and billing issues/fees. In general I think this whole monopoly/duopoly cable & high speed internet setup is down right predatory and bad all around for your citizens.
For those who don’t subscribe, why have you chosen not to subscribe to Cox or Verizon FiOS cable television service?
I'm a "cord-never" as I don't see cable television as worth the money with readily available Internet content.
Are you aware of VBTV on local channels 46, 47 and 48 with Cox and 45, 46, 47 with Verizon?
Yes
If yes, do you ever watch programming that airs on VBTV, such as City Council meetings, Access Virginia Beach, Frontline Firefighter, How-in-the-World or the Planning Commission meetings?
Yes
Is there anything else you’d like to say about cable television service or VBTV in Virginia Beach?
I watch through VBTV's YouTube channel. However, some videos are posted very slowly. Recently the video "Light Rail Presentation to City Council - March 17th, 2015" was posted 10 months late. I think more focus should be given timely release on that free medium.
