Cable and Broadband Commission FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there options other than Comcast/Xfinity for Cable TV services?
No. There is no alternative for Cable TV services because no other provider is willing to serve the Portsmouth area. The City’s franchise agreement with Comcast is not exclusive. The City would welcome a Cable TV competitor. Streaming and satellite services (such as Dish Network) are also available.
