So many new products, devices and services being rolled out today depend on internet connectivity, increased bandwidth and powerful broadband speeds. While some telecom companies are focused on 5G technology, the cable industry is looking further down the road to give customers an even better experience with the new technologies 10G and Wi-Fi 6.
High-speed broadband has become essential to boost today’s economies, education, healthcare, entertainment and other facets of our lives. Making sure all Americans have access to a robust internet connection is a top priority for cable companies, including Texas Cable Association (TCA) members Altice USA (that provides Suddenlink services), Charter Spectrum, Comcast and Sparklight. But determining who has or doesn’t have that access – and how to deliver it – has for years been a debate between providers, policymakers and others.

Another holiday, another online shopping record broken. Cable once again was a major player in fueling an online spending boom over the Thanksgiving shopping period that included Black Friday and Cyber Monday as consumers continue to choose their internet over a trip to the store to make holiday purchases.
Cable joins the rest of the nation on Veterans Day to give a well-deserved salute to our nation’s former military service men and women. For the 13thyear, cable companies in Texas will partner with cable channel HISTORY to honor veterans and bring history to life for students at schools across the state as part of the cable programmer’s annual Take a Veteran to School initiative.
While cable participates in Veterans Day events, it is firmly committed to celebrating and supporting veterans every day, through hiring initiatives, training programs, providing low-cost broadband access, and more.
