Granby Telephone Company, which has provided cable for both communities, let customers know recently that they could no longer afford to provide cable service.
The company, which also sells internet services, recommended its customers sign up for its digital television services.
Granby Telephone Company's message to customers is printed below:
Dear GTC Video Television Customers,
We greatly appreciate all the years that you have selected GTC Video as your television provider.
Unfortunately, we have reached a dead end with the programming networks as they are unwilling to negotiate with small companies. The continued demand to include new programming, with no flexibility for our customer preferences, and unreasonable programming costs have caused us to make difficult decisions. It is with sadness that we must share that GTC Video will be closing our television service effective August 31, 2017.
It was important for us to give you as much notice as possible to evaluate your future television needs and make changes for new subscriptions. Please remember to call the office if you want to disconnect your television service before you go with another provider and/or before the August 31, 2017 date.
We encourage you to consider over-the-top video options, such as Apple TV, Amazon Prime, HULU, VUDU and ROKU Internet devices to continue your television entertainment. These applications have low monthly fees, are easy to use, and allow you to control the content/commercials that you and your family view.
The video equipment is yours to keep for no charge; however, if you would like to return the equipment, you are welcome to do so. Remember: only set-top boxes and remotes are video equipment. Don’t unplug your cyber powers, ONTs, gigacenter, wireless routers or modems.
If you have questions, please contact the office during business hours (M-F, 8am-4:30pm).
Again, we thank you for your business.
