We want internet service in our area
We live 9 miles from downtown Raleigh and no one will service our area of 30 homes and 8 businesses.
Why is this important?
Good morning,
We have spent many hours trying to get our local providers to give us internet service, but we have not been successful.
We live at 2609 Branch Road, Raleigh NC 27610.
Spectrum is the cable provider and AT&T the phone service and DSL providers.
AT&T refuses because their lines are old and crappy and won't hold the DSL signal, so they now refuse to give us service saying we would take away from others instead of saying it would cost them too much to repair their crappy lines.
Spectrum refuses to run line saying it is not cost effective to provide our few homes and businesses service even though they are the "only" provider allowed in our area. Other service providers have told us repeatedly, Spectrum is your provider and it is their area.
At the end of the day, we pay hundreds of dollars to Version to get 1 Meg service and it is slightly better than dial up.
If providers can get 10-15 Meg service to mountain tops, why can't they get it to us being 9 miles from downtown Raleigh.
These greedy companies will take the gravy and screw the rest of us were it would cost them a little to get us service and not give them huge profits.
If they are the chosen provider, then they should be made to provide to everyone!
thank you,
Randy and Jo Ann Egland
