Neighbourhood Cable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neighbourhood Cable is an Australian telecommunications provider based in regional Victoria. Neighbourhood Cable owns and operates Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) cable networks in three Victorian regional cities:
It delivers television, broadband internet and telephony services via these cable networks. It also offers internet services via Telstra's copper network and wireless equipment.
It is one of the few companies in Australia with non-Telstra selling local-loop services, and also one of only very few with active HFC networks.
The Company was delisted from the ASX in July 2005 after a string of events starting with a request for a further 5 million dollars to continue operation. The companies venture captialist, TVG, subsequently acquired all shares in the company.
A number of subscription TV channels have solely or were first seen in Australia on their network. It was the only place in Australia where the US ESPN2 could be viewed, and was the first place some Discovery Channel variants and CNN Headline News were available.
