[RP TownTalk] Internet choices?

[Jeffrey Yorke]

This has been a topic of chat at the Mount Rainer electronic watering hole
for the past week and probably at dozens of similar community meeting
points around America as folks seek to reduce household cost at the start I
a new year.

I’d also love a good answer. Yorke Partners pays for FiOS at four or more
locations, Comcast at two others. That’s turned us into a non-profit
working for Big Wire.

RCN, which provides internet in DC, MoCo and other area suburbs, has  a
significant fiber pipe running under Route 1 and 410 to UMD and beyond.
After having several conversations at a Las Vegas cell tower convention in
2015, I encouraged a SVP of the company about proving RPMD and surrounding
neighborhoods a third option. He/we discovered that municipal or county
hurdles were insurmountable. Both of us were disappointed.

But we could have missed something or the terrain may have changed. I
encourage seeking out less expensive internet providers. We all pay too
much for it.
