I live out in the sticks myself and AT&T still uses copper wire where I live.
They haven't changed us to fiber optics yet, but the line is still good enough for their Uverse Internet service.
Their little sub-station *brick outhouse* is about a mile away from us.

We have comcast, but it’s not perfect, either. They changed the name, (I don’t know what they’re calling it now) I’m guessing because everyone hated them so much.

Reading the bottom half of your reply was like listening to my Dad in full flow. :)

“Ahhh gertcha! Sling yer hook!”

We should have a party out there.

I am the guy in the red pick up truck. You know, the one who isn’t Scott Brown. I actually use mine to work.
