Do you not have FIOS in your area? I can testify that it rocks.
Area, maybe. That neighborhood, no.
That really confuses me, too, because that neighborhood is an established neighborhood within city limits. I don't have any idea why it's all dial-up out there.
In fact, my old address and the new address are essentially along the same basic main thoroughfare running northward from downtown. And the new address is closer to downtown than the old address. Old address is slightly to the East of SR99 at 130th street, new address is slightly to the West of SR99 at 112th street. I genuinely expected to have DSL or fiber at higher speeds than what I was already getting. I'm flabbergasted.
