Blacksburg Cable TV, now Booth Communications, is in the process of being
sold/taken over by Adelphia Cable.  Folks in Blacksburg have grown
comfortable with Booth's occasional outages and interruptions, its lack
of responsiveness to requests to add channels, and its rate increases
to improve the system so it can add more pay-per-view channels.  But
there isn't much known about Adelphia, just rumors.  Some of the rumors
are that things will get better, others state the opposite.

So, anyone who is a customer of Adelphia or is familier with the company
and its service, please provide us with some insight as to what to
expect after the change.  Will life be better?  Or should the residents
begin looking into Direct TV and like services?
