So, all of a sudden, wireless signals make people sick... ya, ok.
If this was true, cordless phones would have been making people sick for years now, along with wireless.

I'm at the northern edge of the county. I'm anxious for it to be implemented here so that Comcast, which has a lock on my area has some competition.
I'm very happy with my service from Comcast but am hoping that some competition will drive their price down to a more reasonable level. With my TV coming from satellite, I pay through the nose for internet.
Maybe some day Verizon will get off their dead butts and offer FIOS out here too.
AT&T is building boxes down here (Dearborn Heights, Taylor, Allen Park) for fiber distribution. Sorry I can't give a verified source, but I see the new boxes and a close friend of mine talked with an AT&T employee (a member of my congregation's husband) who said they want to offer service by the end of the year. Probably business lines first.Originally posted by: tyler811

Hello Neighbor,
I believe we have chatted before. Regarding Verizon though, I do not think that we will see it here in Whootersville in our lifetime :brokenheart: Every time I see a Verizon Tech I stop and ask the standard questions of "Will we see DSL or better yet FIOS?" After they pick themselves up off the ground from laughing too hard, they inform me that Verizon has no plans of DSL or FIOS because of the old equipment, lines and population density ie. lack of.
I live not too far from the Verizon station on the main road and I cannot DSL. My cable company Charter, charges an arm and leg for high speed though I do have the fastest at 10 down and 1 up.

Yeah, it sounds like a stretch, but here's hoping
