1 edit | said by PDXPLT:Something like that. The NTIA used the same bogus "if one person in a zip code has broadband available, then everyone in the zip code has it" criterion to come to the conclusion that everyone has broadband. Yes and that is utter bull shit. My zip code is 44436 which is Lowellville and Coitsville Township. Half of the zip code is Time Warner Cable and the other half currently has a cable system left in ruins and was never upgraded beyond the 1960-Mid 1990's analogue system, Although this is about to change with Armstrong now being our cable company, but still for the last 7.75 years that's how it's been. Right around late 2000 Adelphia upgraded their cable system which is present day Time Warner. It also just so happens that the central office for 330-536 which services most of the 44436 zip code is located in the village of Lowellville, which is right smack dab middle of the Time Warner territory. There's about 7 or 8 of us that barely qualify for very marginal DSL (less than 768kbps and unreliable, since the phone lines are in just as much ruins as the cable system) up where the other cable system starts. But everyone else, forget it. They are blasted with ads on TV telling them how great it is, but they can't get it.
