Metronet has published a construction map for Rochester, most of it is labeled future construction at this time. Areas of the NW are labeled under construction.

If you haven't checked out @metronetfiber you should do so, much of their Rochester buildout is complete. In the very least, call @Ask_Spectrum and threaten to cancel; you'll likely get a better rate.
Kudos to @Ask_Spectrum for waiting 13 months this time for a price increase. This time only a 7% increase. New pricing effective December

Kudos to @Ask_Spectrum on waiting a whole 11 months since their last rate increase! When is the last time you got a 6% raise? @metronetfiber can't come to all of our neighborhoods fast enough.

Charter Spectrum Raising the Price for Internet Service to $75 a Month stopthecap.com/2020/11/02/ch…
Can't wait till @metronetfiber gets to my house...
BREAKING NEWS: Charter/Spectrum asking the FCC to drop requirement that Charter not impose data caps on internet customers (a condition of allowing a 2016 merger with Time Warner Cable.) That data cap ban was set to end in 2023. Charter wants FCC to drop data cap ban immediately.

Construction is well ahead of 5 yr buildout requirement, hopefully this time next year all #rochmn be choose their own broadband provider.
By next fall the @GetSpectrum broadband monopoly in many parts of #rochmn should be eliminated. @metronetfiber installation is ahead of schedule.

Charter Spectrum spent $501 million less on upgrades in 2019 than the same time one year ago. But they raised your rates -- for some twice in the last year. They also spent $3.1 BILLION buying back their own stock to benefit executives and investors.
A colleague of mine just called Charter to cancel after scheduling his Metronet installation. They offered him $50/month for 400mbps. Might be worth threatening to leave Charter, even if it Metronet isn't available in your area yet.

Oh, fun. Charter is increasing its Internet bill next month. Again. Sure would be nice to have another option in #rochmn ... CC: @VoteWojcik
Interested in what all those @metronetfiber trucks are doing? They are feeding conduit underground for the fiber. youtube.com/watch?v=yVbP0ZNN…

Charter’s Internet Assist program offers high speed internet for $15/month, yet many in #rochmn don't know anything about the program. rochinternet4all.org/2018/06…

Rochester's paper is excited about local Internet choice from new independent provider... but asks if market can support multiple providers. Rochester definitely can - but this is why local gov needs to get involved to ensure at least one good option.
