folks who might remember the periods of time when Pegasus and then Adelphia maintained their offices near Balmoral.

Now it’s my turn to stand corrected. We bought a seasonal property in 79, and I recall several seasons of an antenna on the roof (we got one channel), and I have no recollection of any cable before Pegasus. We’ve come a long way since then. BTW, there are places in Moultonborough that still don’t have cable ....Sheridan Rd., for example. Correct me if that’s wrong.

[longislander]

Spectrum has at least 100 Mbps of broadbband running along Sheridan Rd., as well as the "TV" part of a cable company.

There are HOA's (home owner associatioins) on Sheridan Dr. that do not have because of lack of lines (fiber or otherwise) into the sites /homes .

In other words, broadband is going right by the entrance to their development. They do not have lines, and Spectrum won't put in because of their "home density" guidelines. If they have phone landlines from Consolidated Communications they can probably get DSL. Strike that, if there are not enough homes to justify for the phone company ( no DSLAMS).

The development starting at Sachem road, off of Sheridan Rd has no cable, not because of density but because underground conduit for cable wasn't installed when the development was built and the HOA won't allow poles. There is DSL there, but it comes off the Sandwich exchange and is beyond the supported distance, so bits flow in a trickle. This is the situation that started the M'boro communication fund, built up from the cable franchise fees. Yet, while the fund has paid to upgrade speeds to over 40 homes, that neighborhood still is unserved. It would be a good spot for a pole-mounted fixed wireless antenna, but Spectrum isn't interested.

Thank you!

Reneging on done. One more.

the HOA won't allow poles.

Is it the HOA, or the HOA bylaws? How about buried cable from the street?

The HOA bylaws can be changed by the members.

If it is the HOA members ... so be it!

Please don't petition the NHEC, however. Placing fiber on the street poles won't help.

No need for response, and thanks again.
