My local ISP, Shentel Cable, seems intent on ignoring it until the net officially changes & they find they are not only broken, but locked out. The only other game in this small town is frontier, who bought verizon's old decrepit copper and despite claims to the contrary, are having a hell of a time keeping POTS working in this neighborhood. That is why I bailed out & went to the cable for everything. From 1/1/2010 to 5/1/2010 when I bailed, I was out of a telephone for at least 8 of those weeks, and had to call the state PUC to get any fix action what so ever. 4 &$@ times! I think they (frontier) are slowly putting in fiber, but only as fast as they can afford to. IMNSHO, frontier bought themselves a pig in a poke when they took over VZ's physical plant. Copper that has been buried for 50+ years only works in the driest weather. It needs wholesale replacement, but even then, in today's copper market, not likely to stay buried for long since they never did put it down far enough to keep the lawn mowers from chopping it all to hell. As you can deduce, my patience with them has been all used up... Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
