| Re: Ick.. Ouch , just remember things don't change over night but maybe after a few mouths they will be able to start fixing issues.
My area was an Alltel area when windstream was created but i never really had any issues except for a 2 mouth windows of superscription which they fix with upgrades and kept me informed about the progress tough this site.

join:2002-05-24 | Re: Ick.. The biggest issue is all of the old copper underground is in horrible condition from decades of neglect by GTE. I don't see any economical way for them to fix it, especially in such rural areas. | |

| | | | | | Re: Ick.. If the issues affect dial tone (even just noise on the line) Just call your local Public utilities commission and they will fix it, they can get in trouble if they don't. | |

1 edit | Iwireless is an interesting company. They are preparing to launch a 3G network, but only in certain areas. Many of their cell sites are owned by rural telecoms that joined Iwireless in offering service. Therefore many of their sites will never be updated. Iwireless is made up of many different telecoms.
However, they offer the Nexus One and many other Android phones. Plus they have $50 unlimited text, minutes, and data plans (which works with ANY of their phones). Their data is truly unlimited, but not very useful until they launch their 3G network. | |

Grove City, PA | I always thought higher of them than other providers. They offer faster tiers of DSL compared to VZ. If you're stuck with copper, that at least gives you options.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority. | |

Grove City, PA | Re: What Changes Can We Expect? I don't know, I only have verizon. But, if this sad little village in PA can get 12Mb, let alone dsl to start with, I imagine you'll have some options.
If they had VZ, they'd be royally screwed.
