This would only involve more bandwidth to that CO, and thats not that difficult to achieve. I'm thinking they dont want to add a new DSLAM for just a few people, so the petition could help, I think small DSLAMS will hold like 24 connections, so after 24 signatures, they might feel inclined to add another pizza box. but, then there is the range issue, and the link i proivided shows there is technology that will extend a DSL signal. Come to think of it, I have been paying attention, and i have seen large water tight boxes attached to telephone poles, and I cant help but wonder if those are the remote DSLAMS that we need @ our front gate 8) good idea Jennifer, ill sign any petition you start up.

I live on the heritage side of Lake Land Or’ off of Canterbury drive. This street is pretty far away from the main entrance about one mile. My next door neighbor has DSL and my neighbor in front of me has DSL. When I spoke with a Verizon rep. he told me that DSL in available on my street but all of the DSL circuits at the CO are full. So, unless someone cancels their service, I will not be able to get it. I am holding out for Comcast..... But here is some good news for the future; I came across the FDA (fiber Deployment area) for Verizon deployment areas of were Verizon plans on installing FIOS in by county. Caroline is on the list but I do not have any time frame but at least we are on the list. The things is that FIOS is about 20 or so miles north of us and considering they would have to upgrade the Ladysmith CO to handle the FIOS/laying the infrastructure it's going to be some time in the future. My guess would be within 5 years or so. It would be nice to move to a new area where broadband access is available unfortunately for me I bought my house at the tail end of the housing boom so I’m stuck here I am not sure when the market for this area when raise again but probably not anytime in the near future. Hopefully, by that time Comcast / Verizon will have upgraded everyone in Ladysmith to have broadband access. In the mean time check out Sprint or Verizon mobile broadband internet I’m getting speed around 500 down and 71 up with Sprint plus I have purchased a mobile broadband router and have install a small trucker style Wi-Fi antenna on my roof to solve my broadband problem for now. I know 500kb down is not DSL speeds but it’s a whole lot better than dial up. Plus I can take my internet connection wherever I get Cell service. Here is an update for everyone.
