At least three people living in the Florida River Estates neighborhood near the intersection of Florida Road and County Road 234 have not been able to use their landline telephones for hours at a time, even days. Internet service has been spotty too, they said, but it's not as much of a problem as the phone interruptions. https://the-journal.com/articles/133115-landline-internet-problems-northwest-of-durango -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190401152812.GA10888@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2019 15:28:12 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon to Discontinue Copper in Heavily Populated Areas of the Northeast Written by Edward Gately Verizon has asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for permission to retire copper in numerous areas of New York, New England and Pennsylvania, as it continues moving customers to fiber-based technology.
