Internet in Moultonborough?

Fairpoint has provided an easy way to check. Go to their home page (http://www.fairpoint.com), click on pay my bill. Plug in your phone number and, from what I've seen, gives an accurate answer. If you don't have a landline, putting in a neighbors number may not give accurate results.

The older DSL went south, I believe hosted in Manchester. The newer 15M system is hosted in Portland.

Although mostly true. Fairpoints website and Fairpoint themselves have flaws in their maps.

To obtain the accurate accurate information speak with any installer in town. They are the ones that actually know.

I had Time Warner in Moultonboro when I lived on rt. 25 but I got the feeling they were in no hurry to provide internet service to the area. Later, when I requested service at another location -- about 100 feet from the first -- they said they didn't service the area. Then they said the cable lines didn't run out there... then they said they'd send someone to check it out... then the cables were too old, then it was, "okay, but it's going to cost you (a bazillion dollars) to run an internet line," then... 6 months later I get a phone call from them telling me that cable and internet service is now available at the location -- for the normal price!

So good luck.

I'm using Fairpoint DSL and get good results. However, I'm well within the "3 mile near a CO" limitations. Customer service seems to be a problem ... with all of the providers. The techs, if you can grab one, are a great source of problem solving!

Have gotten some slightly better results at times.

Been coming up for the past two years and have had great performance. This year not so much. Does anybody have any insight as to what may have changed since last Fall? Antenna reads full strength.
Thanks.

I have been up the last couple of years and had great performance using Verizon's MiFi. This year the performance is worse than dial up. Verizon claims no issues. I am using the identical equipment from Last Fall. Also the same equipment works fine back at my office in CT. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.
