D) Clear, Consistant Quality.

The HiTec fiberoptic network provides a much stronger signal, providing better quality picture and more flexability in home wiring. you can wire more TVs on the HiTec signal than the other Cable service in town. Understand, this is not a promise. As with any signal, the more times you split it, the weaker the signal. But tests indicate we provide a consistantly higher signal to the home than ever before.

E) Local programming control.

A committee of Hawarden residents help determine the programming offered through HITEC. The committee is appointed by the mayor and city council from interested citizens. This committee selects the cooperative buying program to provide residents with the programming they want at a competative price. The committee is always interested in input from the community we serve and frequently survey the subscribers for their opinions and suggestions.

F) Local customer service.

As with the phone system. the people maintaining and servicing the cable TV system are Hawarden residents, who will resolve residents concerns quickly and courteously. A Local phone number, 551-2565 is answered and problems solved quickly and "the first time."
