They won't expand it without TV. Same reason Verizon sold it. NH wouldn't talk to them about TV. At least Fairpoint is trying to avoid the franchise nightmare, by going IPTV like T did. | |

Levittown, NY | Re: Bring it to southern Maine... I don't know if their going to get that break; there is constant pressure which suggests if they deliver cable TV channels, then they are in fact a cable company & therefore, should be paying franchise fees. | |

| Yeah, I think they need to expand the fiber rollout to surrounding communities. I wouldn't give two sh*ts where my tv signal comes from, as long as I get good picture and sound, that'd work for me. I'm only two towns over from Portsmouth, just outside the existing FIOS infrastructure. My boss was the first one in Portsmouth to get it. He has since moved and Verizon pulled out of his new town midway the rollout there. He could see the spool of fiber sitting at the end of his street. *bummer*
I'd love to dump all comcast services...even though I'm leery of Fairpoint as a sustainable company, i'd give them a chance if it is beneficial to me.
IMO, there's no way they could get this going over a DSL connection. I don't think the connections would hold up reliably enough for IPTV. | |
