My big fear is that they won't spend on improvements like DSL. My DSL phone line comes from Nashua, so I'm not worried about me. But the less dense parts of the state, may take longer than expected.
The company I work for sold a lot of phone gear to Verizon for the north country and we're eager to see how Fairpoint approaches their new buildouts.

I have never been thrilled with Comcast. I wish that we had another choice for TV and internet. Being in Dover, and honestly not far from the main routes I am surprised that DSL and/or Fios is not available for us. It is a new subdivision, its not like I am out in the middle of nowhere...My business is in electronics recycling so it will be interesting to see if any existing equipment starts to come off line and is replaced.
I have tried the Comcast digital phone and was very unhappy. We had multiple issues with outbound calls, we could not call into anyone else that had Comcast as well. The calls simply would not go through and they could not fix it.
I hope Fairpoint has a solution for many, but don't see it getting any better.
