This, Jean-Francois, is the assertion I hear relatively frequently.
It rings true to me, in general, and I would go that way... but there is
a sting in that tail: Can I reasonably expect that Road Runner will in fact
be technically equipped and inclined to meet me to get my residents as
subscribers? Especially if they're already built HFC in much to all of
my municipality?
