Sigh

No one wants to come east of I-95 it seems.

Your best bet is going to be RST Fiber out of Shelby, NC.

Right ke4pym. Funny thing is that Durham isn't serviced by AT&T. Verizon was actually the local carrier back when they were promising FIOS to everybody but sold the Durham city market to Frontier a few years ago when they unloaded a bunch of markets. Not sure if that is the whole county or just the city but most of the county is the city now.

So I don't know how they can say the Triangle when you are missing one of three sides. Guess they missed that Geography lesson. At&T talks in circles anyways.

Maybe that will at least encourage Google to move into this market to show AT&T how much better to do it. We'll have to see. So far, RST fiber is the closest I've seen to real network deployment (wired or wireless) and not just talk.

It was the entire GTE footprint. They did actually run a huge amount of fiber. However, Frontier are too stupid to use it.

AT&T is just blowing more smoke. NCNGN is a powerless, meaningless bunch of blowhards. NCNGN isn't building anything, doesn't own anything, and has no means to get anyone to do anything at all. "Participation" is just BS ink on more BS paper. AT&T's "gigabit" network has yet to materialize anywhere.

My girlfriend lives in Reidsville outside of town and no one, not AT&T or TWC, will make the necessary improvements so she can get cable or DSL.

They may have not done a lot with it yet, but to say it hasn't yet materialized anywhere is a lie.

I think they will do it in places they have U-verse via FTTH.

I am still hoping RST makes it, though I am disappointed that Raleigh the city will not be getting it in 90 days due to the fact wake forest some how counts as Raleigh.

It. Is. A. Lie. 300 != 1000. "We'll upgrade it later", is not 1 gig, either.
