It looks like it is true. Slate has an article on it:<br class="">
<a href="https://amp.slate.com/technology/2018/07/spectrum-forced-to-leave-new-york-after-failing-to-meet-the-terms-of-its-2016-merger-with-time-warner.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://amp.slate.com/technolo<wbr class="">gy/2018/07/spectrum-forced-to-<wbr class="">leave-new-york-after-failing-<wbr class="">to-meet-the-terms-of-its-2016-<wbr class="">merger-with-time-warner.html</a><br class="">
<br class="">
The part that caught my eye was:<br class="">
The company provides internet, cable, and phone services to more than *2* *million* customers in New York.<br class="">
Apart from banning Spectrum from New York, the commission is also fining the company $3 million.<br class="">
<br class="">
There are other news sources that corroborate this.<br class="">

They cover the Capital District. It's the only option for me up here in Troy.<br class="">
