I am writing to see if something can be done about the county’s choice of cable provider (i.e. Comcast) which essentially provides a monopoly on cable services for Washington County. Having written letters to county and city commissioners on the subject, I find myself back at square one. Though Bunton Road on the south side of Washington County is a county road — both paved and plowed by the Washington County Highway Department — it seems that obtaining cable television and Internet service is something of an impossibility, with no explanation forthcoming from either the company or the commissioners previously contacted. As Comcast has a veritable monopoly contract with Washington County, it seems fitting that these services be made available to all county residents and not just those in higher population density areas.
