| government allows public utilities to hook up profit areas I live in the country and I believe if the town fathers would make deals to install things like cable, phone, elec, natural gas, dsl, fios, to every resident, business and property before turning on the service to anyone in the area they have authority over, we would not have the situations in this country that exist. In my town there is cable but not at my house it is 1 mile down the road so no cable and no road runner, they want 12,000 to come up road I pay 59.99 a month for hughes sat internet(not very fast. 86.88 for Directv. We have propane gas, no sewers no water, use well and septic I was lucky to get the electric in ten years ago before they changed those rules for off road charges we paid 1200.00 to bring in 600 ft. now would cost 15,000.00 yes thats right. I am 2.5 miles from the switch to get dsl.and they have no plans to upgrade lines so I got rid of landline and added a cell to my sisters cell acct. for 14.00 per month. |
