Re: Connect Kentucky is fooling everybody

In my town which is next to the 2nd largest city in Kentucky. We only have 1 choice of broadband. I'm about 1/4 mile out of city limits so DSL doesn't run here. Which is strange considering I live in a decent sized subdivision that was built in last 10 years.

I have family in Eastern KY who don't even know the joy of true 56k dailup the best they ever connect is around 36k. They have no choice for cable television let alone cable internet. They just recently got cell coverage in their area and it only works for select carriers.

From what I've seen of this plan I think its a joke...

 I live in area where I have only 1 choice for broadband. The telephone company, Cincinnati Bell has been promising DSL here since 1998 but I'm still 4 miles from the CO. I dropped their phone service about 2 yrs ago for VOIP and never looked back.

There are alot of people in KY that are not as lucky as I am, and most are on 26400bps dialup speeds. I don't see that changing in the near future.

I also have family and friends in Eastern KY. They live in Harlan County in the old coal mining camps, and they just upgraded to broadband from dialup within the past five months. I didn't ask what the speeds were but did ask one person how things were different now with high speed, and all he said was that he spent most of his time playing World of Warcraft.
