919 is in fact the area I'm looking at. so far i've put together: select areas can get att dsl up to 3mbit but its rare select areas have uverse select areas have centurylink(couldnt believe this but verified it from a friend in cary, nc) twc cable has good coverage over most of the area
all in all what a horrible lack of options really. i just started looking into time warner, looks like they have some kind of wholesale offering: http://wholesalecarrierservice.com/ crossing my fingers that the twc wholesale will fit my needs but not holding my breath i thank everyone for all their replies to this thread, there has been an abundance of great information. chris On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 11:08 PM, LQ Marshall <[email protected]>wrote: > There are a number of COs in RDU area and especially 919 area code which > are > reportedly at capacity.
