finding availability isnt as easy as it sounds

When I moved to a rural area from a heavily populated urban area I knew about the sacrifices id have to make. I didnt just decide to buy a house without doing some research first.

I looked up the availability of internet for my new house months before I ever put an offer in because I knew I wouldnt live in an area without broadband. I found out from the Charter site that they provided their best packages to the home I was planning on buying so I figured it was a done deal.

After I moved in I called up Charter to come install their internet. A few minutes after the guy got to my house he came up and told me I couldnt get any service where I lived.
As you could imagine this was a major kick in the balls.

So now Ive been stuck here for 3 years with dial up and the Charter site still says I can get broadband.

Just so you know, my house isnt exactly out in the middle of farm country. I live 2 miles from the city which happens to be populated enough to have more traffic than near my old house in Tampa. I live in Belton SC just for reference.

In 2002 I lived in Astoria, Queens (NYC). Not exactly a poor neighborhood.

Time Warner didn't have digital on my street. I ended up getting DirecTV and 1.5mBps verizon DSL.

RCN rolled out on my street and I switched my internet service to them. 5000/800 which wasn't bad at that time.
