Only the solar farm gets new power, water, data lines here in Pilgrim Hills. Starlink might be our only option for the future. @Chuck … of course we’re left out!

I tried transferring a line to a new office and they told me they couldn't do that. So you can't swap an existing line to a new location? On top of that, the service is now dropping every week for 8-12 hours Thursday and Friday. Not to mention all the new homes and development from Yankees moving into the area and people fleeing Democrat-run cities moving to Florida. It's cool EREC got fiber but a large chunk of the Molino area is just out of luck, existing on coax from the 1980s in a fiber world, trying to do our jobs from home is a task. Frontier said no new lines or service transfers until fiber is put in. I said is that going to take another 5 years? Frontier has been saying fiber for half a decade now. They responded, of course, no ETA. While most in border rural areas are still dealing with overpriced, oversold Frontier, you can’t even get service now because it is so oversold.

Kinetics just ran fiber optics under ground. Cost me 3 free months and 39.95 per month afterwards. As an Air Force retired disabled senior citizen I applied for 30 collar senior discount and was granted the govt program. Hope you get it soon.

Are we left out? Spectrum isn’t that great and very expensive. Two years ago I spoke with 2 gentleman who were doing logistics for the fiber network and they assured me that by now we’d have it by now? I guess things changed?
