| What is Rural? Just want to know how "Rural", "Suburban", or "Urban" are defined.
If you're really Rural, no cable company serves you. |

| That doesn't even work when it involves the Metro areas like Metro Seattle, home to Microsoft. That's not actually "rural" |

The Seattle metropolitan area covers from Tacoma clear north to Everett (and before you know it - from Olympia to Bellingham).
Redmond is definitely in metro Seattle.
And to the OP's point - Verizon is unloading it's Oregon presence - Intel (and a whole slew of tech companies) in Washington County - is in METRO Portland. |

I'll go with that. Just found out it'd cost me $9k to get cable out here...the existing plant is a bit under half a mile away. I'm rural I suppose. |
