I was just looking at who advertised service in the area. You will
typically only find one provider per medium in a given area. As a rule, you
will find one telephone system (DSL), possibly one cable TV system, and in
some areas one fiber optic system. These may be under one or more
companies. So, CenturyLink may be the telephone carrier and XFinity may be
the cable provider. And, in the same area, it is possible to have Frontier
providing fiber service. Unlike electrical service, there are no rules in
place to make carriers provide their transport to other providers.
