| Wow!
Now the "Deliverance" bunch can get HSI!
I live in a trailer in the middle of BFE, but I got DSL Extreme! Wait, now I got FIOS! I gotta get a better generator. Hey, fire up the still! It's moonshine making time! Now if I can quit my addiction to terrorizing hikers, hunters, and idiots in my neck of the woods.
Big Question: How stable is DSL going to be 56,232 ft from the CO? |

@rr.com | Well i guess?
I knew the Hardware from removing the Copper Lines(DSL equipment), switching them to Fios had to go somewhere. |

|  DSL "capable" CO is ONLY part of it....
it doesn't matter if VZ WON'T deploy RT with DSLAMS. Which they will NOT DEPLOY.
Having a CO "capable" of DSL is great, but if your not within the distance limit its of little importance that your CO is now capable of DSL if it wasn't already.
I am really surprised they are spending this money any way as they want to dump WV off any way? So why waste the money.
This is why there needs to be set standards on data deployment for cable, telco and any other player that comes along fiber, nanowave whatever the future may hold. You wire it, you wire EVERYONE and YOU SERVE EVERYONE.
So this falls into the category of big whoop....The CO can handle DSL. The fact that your over the holler and around the mountain is lost on VZ. They may as well just setup their site so that when you put in 304 NPA number it says No DSL too far as thats what the majority will be getting.
Deploy DSL at the CO AND DEPLOY the HARDWARE IN THE FIELD to MAKE IT WORK ANYWHERE then YOU HAVE NEWS.
Telco's get off your butts and DEPLOY THE HARDWARE to get DSL or what ever your choice is to 100% of your customers. You will have so much $$$ money rolling in you won't know what to do. Especially in the RURAL ares where cable doesn't and won't go till .... the farm is sold and turned into some gawd awful HOA'tized development. FARMERS JUST SAY NO!

Why waste the money to do this when they could just lay fiber? I mean they waste the money to lay DSL and there just going to have to invest more money when they decide to lay fiber so what's the point to laying DSL when fiber will pay off more in the long run than DSL. |

'seems like there are quite a few on this board. And it seems acceptable here to insult and stereotype rural residents. i imagine if the topic was a racial or ethnic group, the reaction would be different.
As to why VZ is doing this, it is out of character for them, and is in stark contrast to what they are doing in other states. I'm guessing is has to do with Senators Byrd aand Rockfeller, both powerful and influential politicians. WV is a relatively small state, so they wouldn't need much money spent ($5M) to demonstrate to these two that they are "serious" about BB deployment (so please pass that nationwide TV franchise bill). |

Good luck and don't hold your...
Those boxes may be an RT and if that's the case you're SOL. Even if your CO is setup for DSL. |

90 is not that many. That's not even 1 RT per CO.

Guess ill be keeping my hughesnet. DSL sucks on poor phone lines. The connection wont be worth a damn if the phone companies dont upgrade the phone lines too. My phone line is 45 years old.
Oh yea, stereotyping shows your own ignorance. Keep it up, I love seeing how conceited some people can be. |

Why should telcos do what cable won't? Or water or sewer or natural gas utilities won't? For that matter, how about cell service? Go to some "touristy" parts of WV, and there is NO signal - not EVDO, not digital, not even analog. Why? No demand? Too expensive to put up a few towers? DSLAMs cost a lot more than you think, and you can't compell them to spend money without a promise of a return on the investment. |

Re: West Virginian...
I agree. WV is an absolutely beautiful area. Fabulous state and federal parks and gorgeous scenery...and them Mountaineers ain't a shabby football team. This from a neighboring Virginian. Great folks be thar. |
