- >Are there any Cable TV providers supplying internet access over cable yet?
-
- Rogers Cable Systems is beta testing in the NewMarket area of Toronto
- and have announced full distribution to anyone who can pay this year.
-
- Costs: 1 time set-up charge of $99 and $39 a month Canadian dollars.
-
- A Boston cable company has wired up around 10,000 boxes at a local
- university campus and students have been plenty pleased. (the price must
- be right:). This cable company has contracted for another 150,000 boxes
- this year.
-
- Word is that most operators will allow users to splurge on their own
- cable modems, hookup the system themselves and get some reduction in overall
- costs.
