Re: Laughable said by Matt:said by Hazy Arc:Simpsonville and Woodruff are not rural by any stretch of the imagination...hell, they are within 10-15 miles of downtown Greenville. Why Verizon dropped the ball on this is beyond me. 20,000 lines is simply not worth it to Verizon. That is (in their eyes) as rural as it gets unfortunately. Ha! Gushing over Verizon and trash talking Qwest are the two biggest pass times on this forum. I keep telling everyone that Verizon doesn't give a rat's ass about you if you're rural, and Verizon's definition of rural is any city smaller than Erie, PA.
Qwest on the other hand has put DSLAMs in just about every CO (that they own) in Iowa. I looked at their list, and even the town of Dike, population 900, has DSL. My parents have DSL thanks to a remote DSLAM that Qwest installed. I can actually have a decent Internet connection when I'm down there. If the LEC here was Verizon, there would be FiOS in select areas of West Des Moines and Clive, and the rest of the state wouldn't have any high speed service at all. | |

While I don't feel like investigating the number of people serviced by our CO, the number of people in the concentrated part of town, Stewartstown borough, is only around 2,000. I don't think the CO reaches more than maybe 5,000, a far cry from Erie. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewartsto···sylvania And we have DSL.
