Tuesday afternoon, members of Jacksonville's subcommittee on the city's cable franchise agreement met in city hall. City leaders said that they're on a fact-finding mission, to find out why so many customers have problems with AT&T Broadband's service.
"The actual complaints apparently started in June, 40 a day. Back in February there were 20 a day, and the highest number has been 800, not necessarily in a day, but 800 seems to be a figure that's batting around we can't have that. We're going to find out why," cable sub committee chairman Gwen Thompson said.
Officials said that the committee would meet with a representative from AT&T Broadband on Friday.
