Broadband Availabilty

Submitted by smalc on Mon, 2007/07/30 - 8:56am.

A piece in Saturday's N-S details efforts by Connected Tennessee to increase the availability of broadband internet service in Tennessee. A coverage map is included.

But, as the article points out, their have been complaints of map inaccuracy.

It's quite inaccurate for my home, anyone else?

Agree!

It isnt correctly representing "an area" of Luttrell TN.

Where my Mom and Dad live shows on the map as covered but if one calls Comcast or AT&T they ask you to "sign up" to be added during future availability pushes.

Of course in their defense there arent enough customers per square mile to justify what I am sure are high costs to run the services to the homes there either.

Either way my parents really want the service!
