We used to have telephone and DSL on Welch, but it wasn't Comcast. Can't recall name. Consolidated? Anyway, I called in the spring to turn on service and they did the DSL, but not the phone. Didn't realize it until I called in the fall to suspend services. All we missed was junk phone calls. DSL was so slow we barely used it except for email. Ever since we went to HUB66 family members spend more time at camp working from home. Guests, too. It surprises me that services would be added for small number of customers. Is this (optical) part of the federal program to expand broadband in rural areas?
