I thought that Sudden Link merged with some Europe cable company that bought worse cable company in the US known as Suckyvision oh I mean Cablevision which I was happy that Cablevision was bought out. Even know I haven't had Cablevision since the fall of 2000 when Charter bought Cablevision in Kzoo.

Verizon would be number 2 provider in Michigan if they merge with Charter and would also be number 1 internet provider in America as well.

Expect a dispute with Charter and Google soon (unless Verizon divests it's smartphone business), because they want Verizon to have the Pixel, not Charter (Google did not see this coming). Also, with the exception of WOW in Pinellas County, this would definitely make a cable monopoly in all of Central Florida (even Tampa Bay!)
