Sturbridge, MA | small state big obstacles Massachusetts has a high population density in the east and quite rural on in the west. Many of the towns mentioned have populations under 3000 in geographically large areas. Western Ma also has rocky and difficult terrain make for expensive installations.( even mobile service is sketchy!) I live in a western /central border town (pop 9800) along the MASSPIKE (lots of fiber was installed along this road some years back) that got cable tv in the mid-eighty's and DSL in late 03...no word on FIOS here (and this is a fairly wealthy bedroom community )so I'm not sure its just "cherry picking" ...as for city, I lived in Worcester for 8 years ...cable infrastructure is a mess but its there.. got DSL in 1999 and was told at the time there was no other subscribers in a several block area from me.. so i'm not sure that Fios would sell that well there at the price point its sold at today.. Recent news here was Governor is trying to get unserved community's wired up.
