When two people have a couple move in next door and your "city" has 100% growth rate, doesn't make it profitable. 
I grew up around there (Woodbury), the traffic light in the "center" of town was commonly referred to as "THE traffic light". Beautiful place, but it rivals Western Mass for "ruralness". Which is exactly where wireline business will NOT go. |

said by Cod:Is this fact, or typical BBR spin? Would love to see some links and proof that this is happening... It is a bit of spin insofar as it suggests that companies are trying to eliminate requirements to build out rural areas of a state. The current law does not require companies to build out rural areas of a state.
Current law allows a local jurisdiction to require that a CATV provider serve every address in the locality. But it does nothing to prevent the CATV provider from selecting only suburban localities rather than rural localities. |

said by ptrowski:Not linkable proof, but when I asked my tech who fixed my NID to get AT&T DSL about when I would see U-Verse in my small town, the answer was pretty much never. The closest it will get to me is about 50 miles south in Norwich according to his meeting the day before. There are only 10,000 people where I live, and there is no reason to roll it out. I'm a tech, and we aren't in the loop on future deployment plans. Which change constantly, btw.
Considering the VRADS only serve 200 customers per shelf, Putnam's population density of 435 per square mile might be pretty attractive. |

| I can only relay what was told to me. He told me Norwich was as close to putname as it would get. I am not knocking the tech, actually he was awesome and removed alot of footage off my loop so I could get Elite. 5 mbps down and 630 kbps up, not too shabby. |
