You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:07, 1 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''US Cable''' Group was a [[cable television]] provider that at its peak served over 240,000 subscribers in twelve states. It was among the top 35 cable providers in the nation and had cable systems in [[Colorado]], [[Florida]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], [[Minnesota]], [[Missouri]], [[New Jersey]], [[New Mexico]], [[South Carolina]], [[Texas]] and [[Wisconsin]].

== History ==
US Cable was founded as '''M.A.I. Cablevision''' in 1976 in [[Watson, New York]] by stockbrokers Stephen E. Myers and Michael Anderson.<ref name="ch13p206">((cite book |last=Brown |first=Kathi Ann |title=Wired to Win: Entrepreneurs of the American cable industry |chapter=Chapter 13: Stephen E. Myers, US Cable Group |chapter-url=http://www.cablecenter.org/education/exhibits/wiredtowin/Chapter13.htm  |pages=205–206 |year=2003 |url=https://cablecenter.org/education/exhibits/wiredtowin/))</ref> Through the 1970s and 1980s, US Cable acquired and built many cable systems. US Cable had a couple joint ventures with [[Tele-Communications Inc.]] (TCI) during the 1980s. In 1992, [[Liberty Media]] (owned by TCI) acquired 50% of all of US Cable's cable properties. In 1997, TCI purchased all of the systems in Illinois, Indiana, and New Jersey.

While most of US Cable Group's systems were operated under US Cable of Coastal-Texas, L.P., one cable system in Northern New Jersey was operated under US Cable of [[Paramus, New Jersey|Paramus]]-[[Hillsdale, New Jersey|Hillsdale]], LLC. This system was acquired by [[Cablevision]] from TCI along with several other systems in New York and New Jersey in 1998. In early 1999, US Cable bought the system from Cablevision because of a [[Federal Trade Commission]] order that required them to divest their assets in those towns to preserve competition. However, with increased competition from [[Verizon FiOS]] US Cable sold the system back to Cablevision in 2009.

In June 2011, US Cable sold off its systems in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 33,000 subscribers to [[Midcontinent Communications]] and its systems in Missouri with 16,000 subscribers to [[Charter Communications]]. On August 21, 2011, [[Baja Broadband]] acquired US Cable and its remaining 60,000 subscribers in Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
