Armstrong Cable In 1963, Armstrong's first cable television customers were connected in
Butler, Pennsylvania. These customers were provided with nine viewing channels. For the next 40+ years Armstrong continued to grow in western Pennsylvania and the surrounding states virtually uncontested for television service until the expansion of satellite service became more widespread. With the increase in competitors, new services emerged. Armstrong cable now offers
personal video recorders (PVR),
video on demand service (VOD),
pay-per-view service (PPV), as well as
high-definition digital programming.
Armstrong Zoom Internet Armstrong also offers
broadband internet service for residential and commercial customers. From 2013 to 2017 Armstrong instituted a 200GB monthly
data cap. In March 2017, this was raised to 400GB. Consumers can pay more to increase the data cap. If the customer goes over the cap, they are not throttled nor shut off but instead pay an additional $10 for every 50GB they go over. As of March 2018, that data cap was raised to 1024GB(1TB) with the Zoom level of service, but the Zoom 2 and above levels have a 2048GB(2TB) data cap, while Zoom Extreme offers no data cap.
Armstrong Cable Telephone Armstrong offers a cable telephone service that can be bundled with either the video or internet product or as a stand-alone product. This service provides unlimited nationwide calling, as well as calling to
Canada,
Puerto Rico, and
Guam.
