It is much worse/more frustrating for me than that. We built/bought this house in 1963; new development, right in the middle of EVERYTHING eventually, like now. Some time ago the local telephone provider, at that time Pac Bell, started laying fiber optic cable throughout the neighborhood. Great. NOT. In the middle of the process, Pac Bell went belly up, and the telephone service was taken over by AT&T. In their opinion, there were not enough subscribers left in my area, to warrant the compleation of the cabling, so it stops; 1 1/2 blocks from my house. The only way I can get high speed, is through Dish Network, over the air, at $50 bucks a month. For an hour or two a day on the internet, there a lot of other things I can get with that $50 bucks; after all Social Security ain't that great, it only helps.
