The really funny part is that this is a town where the residents have sufficient money. The residents are more than capable of affording the service.

Here's another thing that's funny. In my county, in a smaller town (Highland, IL) that's a ways away, Verizon is the phone company. Yes, a different phone company even in the same county. Yet, no DSL there. It's also a reasonably wealthy town, filled with residents who aren't so happy with Charter and can more than afford DSL.

Awhile back, I heard something about Highland maybe wanting to build their own fiber network. I'm not sure what happened to that. Maybe Verizon spent money on suing them instead of spending that money on rolling out at least DSL if not FIOS.
verizon in illinois is being sold so dont expect any upgrade to fios or dsl there]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629966 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:50:11 EDT Re: Lol http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629874 jchambers28 : Are these the same people that took over casstel in peculiar MO and are charging people close to 100 bucks for a 1.5 MBPS service they think that's a good deal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629874 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:26:43 EDT Re: Lol http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629671 me1212 : Well if FTTH is that need they could always make a coop.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629671 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:50:48 EDT Re: Lol http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629659 benc :

At least they are trying, which is more than I can say for att.
No kidding.

Here, my choices are Charter Residential, and Charter Business. That's right, I can't even get 768k DSL.

OK, so I guess I could get T1 (single or bonded), but that price tag is a bit steep...

As a result, the only money AT&T gets from me is for POTS.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629580 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:34:49 EDT Re: Lol http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629522 me1212 : At least they are trying, which is more than I can say for att.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629522 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:25:10 EDT Lol http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629225 sonicmerlin : "Next-Generation".
