xgin...that's the point I was trying to make....in my neighborhood...RCN is big...Comcast is here but it's an interesting mix of both cable companies...and the fact that the city of Boston gave RCN a contract to offer cable services here makes it even more credible....Menino is no fool let me put that straight out on the table...he's a very intelligent Mayor of a very complex and high power city and when he gives the *ok* for a company to do business in Boston it's because the company in his opinion has the goods to deliver to the residents of Boston
