After we shot Ceausescu, a variety of cable companies appeared, and they ran cable networks in large cities, and then smaller towns, and now even villages. There was a massive wave of consolidation, but there are still 2-3 major companies competing in the same cities. And even in villages where there is only one company, they have the same prices as in the larger cities they compete in, i.e. they don't abuse the monopoly in those places where they are the only provider.
Regarding the internet, most of these are the cable companies mentioned above, but from what I have seen at my parents and my inlays, the modem is not in the residence... they seem to have some sort of box inside the buildings and from there they distribute coax cable for TVs and Ethernet cable for internet. In fact my inlays have this ethernet cable come into a little box (this one is inside their apartment) form there they have ethernet and telephone jacks.
Things may have changed since I was there three years ago.
