Easton, Kennedyville, Chestertown, Rock Hall, Point Lookout, Ridge, Charlotte Hall, Nanjemoy are what I consider dense.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19209946 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 22:58:19 EDT Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19209938 TKJunkMail :

I live 10 miles from Salisbury . . . the little town called Parsonsburg. I have NO broadband choices other than Comcast

You want to help us rural folks, Senator Mikulski? Demand Verizon buildout to at least provide DSL to those who have NO competition. We paid they damn Universal Fees for decades to Bell Telephone and then Verizon and we got NOTHING for it.
So you do have high speed broadband with Comcast and at similar prices to what Fios would charge.

It sounds to me that you are ahead of the game compared to most rural areas.

I'm stuck in one of those areas in Southern Maryland where there is no cable. Sprint rev-a coverage is terrible. Had Direcway for years and it was horrendous. I now have Verizon Rev-A and happy to have something resembling broadband but caps on the service limit what you can and can't do.

And networking with EVDO can be expensive and I don't consider ICS a solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19209934 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 22:55:49 EDT Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19209910 DownTheShore :

They keep promising rural areas....Funny how they stick to the most unrural area on the Eastern Shore. Salisbury.

To those of us from other places who've visited Salisbury, it IS rural. :D ;)

You got THAT right.

I live 10 miles from Salisbury . . . the little town called Parsonsburg. I have NO broadband choices other than Comcast (and satellite, which I don't consider broadband). Verizon offers DSL in Salisbury, but not in the surrounding area. Seems like they cherry-picked the high-density population and said to hell with the rest of us.

I can only assume they intend to do the same thing when, and IF, FIOS ever comes to the area. The last time I talked to a Verizon rep, they indicated FIOS would probably take 10 years.

You want to help us rural folks, Senator Mikulski? Demand Verizon buildout to at least provide DSL to those who have NO competition. We paid they damn Universal Fees for decades to Bell Telephone and then Verizon and we got NOTHING for it.

Verizon covers Salisbury, since so much of this area is farmland, I don't expect much coverage for non densely populated area. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19209871 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 22:41:40 EDT Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19208570 golfgeek : And this means absolutely nothing if a service provider is not willing to carry the last mile.

What about the people in Chestertown? Rock Hall? Cecil County? Southern Md?

The state-private partnership to benefit area residents and educational facilities will provide broadband service from NASA’s Wallops Island Flight Facility to Salisbury University. Schools, medical centers, business and individuals between those two sites will also be able to connect to the network, according to Senator Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
