Bring AT&T U-verse to ALL of Springboro, Ohio!!
Time Warner Cable is the only provider of true high speed internet service in Springboro, Ohio. The citizens of Springboro demand a choice and are asking AT&T and the City of Springboro to work together to bring us that choice.
Why is this important?
As a growing community, the city of Springboro, Ohio offers many amenities to it's citizens. A choice in high speed internet is not one of those amenities. For High Speed Internet, Time Warner Cable is the ONLY choice.
AT&T offers DSL at 6 mbps, while TWC Roadrunner High Speed Internet offers up to 50 mpbs. Beyond AT&T DSL and Time Warner, there is no other option. If U-verse were available, it would be at speeds up to 45 mbps and would provide some competition for Time Warner Cable.
By their own admission, TWC suffers from "intermittent outage problems" in Springboro, an issue they have no motivation to correct, because they have almost no competition. In recent weeks, many residents have complained about diminishing internet speeds from TWC, even when paying for the high-priced "Ultimate" or "Extreme" Roadrunner. The addition of U-verse to the area would provide some motivation for TWC to address the issues they have in this area.
As citizens of Springboro, we demand a choice - and it is our right to have a choice.
