I had the misfortune of buying a condo in 2004 in Amherst, NY where the previous owner had Anametrics Cable as their service provider. I decided to give it a try which lasted two days. Absolutely the worst television picture I have ever seen. Called to complain about the picture quality and the woman at Anametrics started yelling at me and stating they never have complaints. I informed her I was a new customer which infuriated her even further. This was day one when I had the service turned on.
I did some digging and found out at the Anametrics Cable passes itself off as a cable company in the literature they provide. In reality, they are nothing more than a master antenna system that utilizes the telephone lines to provide television signals to condos and apartment buildings in Amherst, NY. Called the town of Amherst and found out they are not a cable company as they do not have a contract with the town as did Adelphia at that time. If they were a cable company, they would have to pay the town a subscriber fee.
On day two, I called again and told them to cancel my cable television service. Found out from a neighbor that Anametrics is a two person operation where the wife answers the phone and the husband does the installs. The woman was indignant when I canceled and once again started yelling at me in a very unprofessional manner. I explained to her the picture on 85% of the channels was absolutely awful and those channels were all analog since they do not offer any digital stations.
All that I can say is stay away from this outfit. Buy a dish or sign up with Time Warner and you won't go wrong. You will receive the latest technology and not the 1970's technology that Anametrics offers. That old adage seems to be true; ""You get what you pay for"".
Update: The owner of Anametrics posts his own reviews in Citysearch to bump his ratings up. You can pick them out since they are quite obvious.
Pros: There Are None!
Cons: PoorTV picture quality, Unprofessional customer service, all analog channels, to many other negatives to list.
