I'm not too far from the center of town -- but it's a rural road with few 
houses although it's built up over the years. It was never worthwhile for 
the cable people to bother with. I don't expect to see fiber. Cell towers 
are also placed to serve population areas.

This state is 147,000 square miles with about 1 million people. Great 
Britain is 80.000 square miles with 67 million people. We're not exactly 
cheek by jowl.
