The gravel road is my property. There are power poles and lines back to very near the house. Don't know where the phone company plans to put phone lines, on the power poles or under ground all the way.
I do expect that DSL will reach us in probably no more than three years. However it would be worth something to be able to get local TV and broadband in the meantime. I don't know whether cable is legally a public utility or a franchised monopoly. The power company can't possibly make enough on me to justify the many poles and amounts of wire they have put it, but as a public utility they are expected to do so. Likewise with the telephone. I raised this question with my parish councilman. He said to get back to him when the house is up. If all else fails I may see what it would cost to get DSL on a personal line at my wife's office, in Covington. Could put a Linux box in the closet there and depend on nobody else around there knowing how to use it.
