Maybe it will be available later this fall for here, maybe not. I'm not interested in any more broken promises from the major companies who decided over a decade ago to ignore millions of potential customers across the nation. All because we're not profitable enough to supply. Imagine if that same logic had continued to be applied to the clean water supply or electricity. It once was. Or if the only paved roads were inside city limits and cargo was moved exclusively by train like ye old days. And those who say 'just move to the city then' really? Some jobs literally cannot be done in a city. Many people inherited the land they live on. You want more traffic? More polution? More competition for already overpriced city shoeboxes to live in?

I work in the RF field for the past 25 years. All radiation is bad for ya. But there is one source that is the highest of anything we have, THE SUN....... Its will fry you and a egg on the same day. The radiation coming gfrom the sun is FAR more than any tiny cell phone can project out. So stop with making up lies about 5G... Most if not all are false People complaining about the 5G towers and want them removed.

Can’t watch a movie without it buffering.
