Internally at brighthouse, Tampa (southwest florida) and Orlando (central 
florida) are pretty heavily detached from each other.  There's now some 
call center, management, and engineering overlap but that only happened 
over the last few years.  network and video delivery systems are still 
significantly divergent...  (which is usually a good thing, since it means 
that when tampa breaks, orlando survives. ;)
