I doubt very much they will get anything worthwhile off the ground.
Their residential services have always been for people with bad credit.
Their business side can't even get all our numbers ported to our new voice trunk line, and its been 6 months. They installed two different internet connections, neither worked worth a damn, so I stayed with Covad.
Their home TV service right now is over DSL, and it looks like ass. HD? Maybe if they do some wavelet magic over multiple loops to your house, but I just don't see that happening in any sort of scale in Hampton Roads. Hell, I live about as close on Shore Drive to Great Neck as you can get without being a complete asshole (I don't have an Inlet Sticker, or an OBX, WRV, etc.) and I can't even get FIOS as an alternative to Cox.
Cavalier is the worst telco I've ever encountered. Their support is incompetent, their installation procedures worse. The service is decent, when it works. I'd rather give Comcast my money (which is saying a lot).
Hmmm, I have had Cavalier phone service for like 5 years. 3 years ago I bought a new house and thought I would switch back to Verizon for my phone and DSL service, but was told I had to get a new number since I had a different CO or pay a $26.00 a month foreign CO fee. With Cavalier I kept the same number and have 10 Meg DSL service and phone with tall the bells and whistles for $67.00 a month including taxes and fees. The DSL is good; I generally get download speeds averaging 8meg. And my switching or staying has never had anything to do with my credit. And as I recall all those years ago when I switched from Verizon to Cavalier they checked my credit.
I inquired about their TV service shortly after it first came out and was told at that time HD was not currently available (but it would be), they had no DVR service (but would someday), and they can guarantee good TV service on 2 TV’s any more than that would be questionable. So I stuck with DirecTV and am pretty happy there.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.â€
