Re: bizarro....
Western, MA and OK only differ in the distance they have to drive to actually be "somewhere". They're both "the middle of nowhere".
That being said, I notice my town is listed as a Duopoly when it shouldn't qualify, since Verizon can only offer 768k DSL because the CO that serves us is in Lawrence. (which is why we'll never get FIOS either) |

Juana Diaz, PR | Why not? There is FIOS in Lawrence. N. Andover is just a short distance away. |

1 edit | A friend of mine lives there and is considering getting FIOS after she got some offer or promotion. And I have visited Lawrence a few times, last visit was last month. I noticed some new aerial installations in many areas of the city that I thought were newer cable TV plant but later saw Verizon people working with them. There were many boxes in poles with fiber cables going into them. Too bad I didn't take a picture of one of them. I did find a picture on the Internet. You will see these things all over Lawrence.

Have not found a picture of the large boxes in the poles conected to these black boxes in some places. |

| I did see that Lawrence was trying to approve Fios TV. I don't think they are wired yet. (probably in process) I haven't yet found ANYONE who actually HAS fios in Lawrence. (I live maybe 100 feet from the Lawrence/North Andover line) Of course Verizon also claims North Andover has FIOS because a few people on the Andover line are the Andover CO and are able to get FIOS. So I'll believe it when some people actually report that they have it. |

Juana Diaz, PR | Then they are probably building the fiber infrastructure at this time. I did see a few Verizon crews here and there during my stay in Lawrence last month. |
