Thanks all. TexasTechnician, DSL is NOT available but a cable modem through Time Warner is available if I pay $900.00 for the cable to be ran to my home. My understanding is that this price is for me only. It seems to me at this point that paying the 900 bucks is the best idea.

In some cases they will waive or apply the construction to your invoice. It never hurts to ask!

Or, tell them you want a signed contract saying they cannot run another drop that intrudes into your area. In other words, they can't run a cable for service to someone else, that could be branched off your cable. But, you will rent 'cable space' for the reasonable price of $10/month/drop. And they remain responsible both monetarily and physically, for all maintanance and upgrades. Pardon my French, but 'screwing' can go both ways!  John C.

...for the cable to be ran to my home.
Good point. Will it have to pass other houses on its way to you? If so there is a good chance at least some of them will want service since they have to be in the same boat as you. If that happens there is no way that you should foot the bill.
