Perhaps these towns should offer some sort of tax incentives for the private sector to implement some sort of broadband network. If they aren't happy with Verizon, then someone else might be able to fill the void instead.
I think if neither cable or telco wants to serve an area, MUNI fiber should be allowed, as long as it non profit. Later the system could be rented/lease to a private corporation.
