I'm very happy this is finally happening. My concern is, are they really going to hang all of this on light poles?? Seriously?? I understand it's easier, the poles are already there, and cheaper. I'm just thinking long term and I don't know why I'm 60 but I'm still very happy and excited for friends and family from Chumuckla to Jay woooooHooooo It’s way past time for this to happen, I moved to Milton in 2005 from Brownsdale after that 2nd hurricane in 2 years and knowing I’d have high speed internet had a LOT to do with my decision.

It's kinda like when electricity eventually moved out of the city into the country. That being said, unfortunately for some residents in the north end, some still will not benefit from this "Roll out" It appears there is a bubble, where neither Erec nor Spectrum will service. Ironically, it is about a mile north of Molino Park Elementary School. Too far south for Erec, and too far North for Spectrum. Thanks Happy to the ones “Finally” getting some internet.
