| Surewest is an "overbuilder"? I thought they were an ILEC (formerly called, "Roseville Telephone Company") which was formed to provide telephone service in a rural region that the original AT&T bypassed.
They were one of the clients of an old moonlight employer I worked for: SCS Security (out of Roseville, California). My favorite gig was the driving patrol, checking the RTC facilities in the wee hours of the morning.

kudos:3 | Surewest is an overbuilder in Sacramento County... in the areas they serve in Placer County, (and some other areas in Sac County like Citrus Heights) they are an ILEC with the former Roseville Telco territory. What started the "Surewest" brand was when RTC purchased the former bankrupt WinFirst property.. which was one of the first fiber to the home projects of any effort launched back in the late 90's. |
