Re: Connect Kentucky is fooling everybody
I am part of the Breathitt County eCommunity Leadership Team with ConnectKentucky, and we're in the same shoes as most. There is no opportunity for broadband past the city limits, but ConnectKentucky has been valuable to us.
A wireless company is now interested in expanding into our county. ConnectKentucky was a big help in making some of this possible, so I have to give credit where it's due. |

| I live in London KY I have the choice of Cable or Dsl I chose Dsl because of price. I live about 8 miles out of the city limits most of Laurel County has Broadband service. The county is split, in the South area Bell south and Newwave in the central Windstream and Time warner In the North Windstream and back to Newwave. I have to say that Kyconnect has been a big boost in rolling out Broadband in Laurel county. The city of London is now working on free wireless within the entire city limits of London, things are looking up. |

In the Jackson area I assume your referring to the rural area around there for the wireless... aren't all the hills and valleys going to severly limit service speeds and availability? |

| You would think so. The company says that it won't be an issue, and they've already had engineers out and about in the county.
But like someone mentioned earlier, I'm not fully satisfied until I can hook up and start pulling bandwidth.
