They keep promising rural areas....Funny how they stick to the most unrural area on the Eastern Shore. Salisbury.
What about the people in Chestertown? Rock Hall? Cecil County? Southern Md? They will be forgotten. | |

| Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected said by golfgeek  :They keep promising rural areas....Funny how they stick to the most unrural area on the Eastern Shore. Salisbury. You got THAT right.
I live 10 miles from Salisbury . . . the little town called Parsonsburg. I have NO broadband choices other than Comcast (and satellite, which I don't consider broadband). Verizon offers DSL in Salisbury, but not in the surrounding area. Seems like they cherry-picked the high-density population and said to hell with the rest of us.
I can only assume they intend to do the same thing when, and IF, FIOS ever comes to the area. The last time I talked to a Verizon rep, they indicated FIOS would probably take 10 years.
You want to help us rural folks, Senator Mikulski? Demand Verizon buildout to at least provide DSL to those who have NO competition. We paid they damn Universal Fees for decades to Bell Telephone and then Verizon and we got NOTHING for it.

| Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected Hey at least you have comcast....Which is better then most of us can say.
I'm stuck in one of those areas in Southern Maryland where there is no cable. Sprint rev-a coverage is terrible. Had Direcway for years and it was horrendous. I now have Verizon Rev-A and happy to have something resembling broadband but caps on the service limit what you can and can't do.
And networking with EVDO can be expensive and I don't consider ICS a solution. | |

So you do have high speed broadband with Comcast and at similar prices to what Fios would charge.
It sounds to me that you are ahead of the game compared to most rural areas.

Charlotte Hall, MD | Re: Here is the area of Md eastern shore that will be affected No offense to Salisbury but compared to the surrounding areas yall are BIG CITY.
Easton, Kennedyville, Chestertown, Rock Hall, Point Lookout, Ridge, Charlotte Hall, Nanjemoy are what I consider dense. | |

@spcsdns.net | Right now ALL they can get is Satellite & EVDO REV A through Sprint.
Verizon covers Salisbury, since so much of this area is farmland, I don't expect much coverage for non densely populated area. | |

| Soon Enough! I work at Salisbury University as a network admin so I have known about this for awhile and we are pretty excited about it. We completed our part of the connection for the network, the fiber is running through the University as it goes over towards the bridge. A benefit for us is that when its done, we can dump our OC3's and jump right on the link.
I forget how many strands are in the run but there is A LOT of fiber. A good portion is being used by the University of Maryland System and NASA itself, but I am pretty sure Verizon is going to hop on as well.
Oh and its not going just between Wallops and SU, its going on over the bay bridge and to University of Maryland Baltimore. Not sure if its splitting off before then, but I know its going at least that far. | |

Anyway, question for you aviper9... do you mean the University of Maryland Baltimore, or the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)?
Curious... | |
