Martinsburg, WV in a new housing development. Apparently, Dan Ryan (the
housing builder) had a trench for Adelphia to lay their cable. However,
at some point, the trench was paved over, and Adelphia won't do anything
until the trench is re-dug. Chances of that happening in the near
future? Slim to none. DirecTV is doing a brisk business in our community
