<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2929577, member: 71723&quot;]Yup, sure am, but Potter County benefits from being in close proximity with New York State and its more &quot;active&quot; promotion of broadband infrastructure. Pennsylvania generally is as backwards as it gets regarding having providers build out infrastructure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until October 13, I lived less than 55 miles from Philly and less than a 2 hour drive from Times Square, New York, and there was NO broadband (as defined in statute) whatsoever. It DID exist less than 1,000 yards away, as the crow flies, but not where I lived.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pennsylvania is being told by Verizon that we either have to let them co-locate on existing poles and towers with their &quot;pizza box 5G&quot; service, or they&#039;re done building anything. And cable, phone, and power providers (poles owned by electric supplier) are saying &quot;no&quot;. (Not Verizon phone areas.)</p><p><br /></p><p>An old fashioned standoff. It is the small independent phone carrier areas that lack broadband for the most part. Verizon&#039;s areas are pretty good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
