Last year the court agreed to penalize Suddenlink every day they were non-compliant. They now owe the county $568,400 in fines. The city of Pikeville also authorized the daily fine for non-compliance and Suddenlink now owes the city over $1 million in fines. The Fiscal Court cannot regulate internet service providers as federal law prevents state and local regulation of internet service providers and 90% of the complaints from Suddenlink are internet related. With that in mind the county has opted not to terminate the contract as doing so could interrupt cable service for a long period of time or even permanently as Suddenlink could refuse to sell infrastructure to a different company. Determination also wouldn't prevent Suddenlink from providing internet over the same lines. The court has authorized the county attorney to draft a letter and make a formal demand to Suddenlink that they make payments on the fines and interests owed to the county. Suddenlink has said they are currently working on updating infrastructure within the county to provide better service but no timeline has been given as to when it would be completed. There has been a change in the governmental agency's representative at Suddenlink who is highly responsive to settling issues within the county.
