At least with FairPoint the northeast will get ADSL+2, bonded pairs for higher internet,
Have any proof?

Yes. I have the service in Washington. They plan deployment of Occam and ADC in the northeast. They also use Actelis for bonded pairs. They will do just fine and subscribers will be happy with the improvements. Verizon wasn't planning any so why beat up a company that wants to improve the area ?

does he have to work for them to champion them? perhaps he gets a newsletter as a customer of them....

OK, maybe he does. But so what?! if Fairpoint is going to build out, who cares!

any large construction needs a long lead-in time for planning and pre-positioning.

The REAL issue here is that Verizon has been allowed to skate out of a $1B debt AND a $600M write-off?!?!?!

I CALL SHENANIGANS!!!!!! (since the post nazi will block bullshit)

I do not work for them, but I am in the Telecom industry and do consulting. I think folks should give FairPoint a chance. They are improving service where they can afford to do so. People also need to remember that in rural america most homes have very old copper wiring inside the home. Fiber to the curb won't cure what is a problem inside the home.
