Hmmm... Looks like I'm 10 miles North of you. Actually I've had good luck with Verizon DSL. It became available about on year ago where I am (Rockville, MD). I'm upgrading to Fiber Optic Service in a couple of weeks for the same price ($30/month for 5 Meg speed. If I wanted 15 Meg speed $40/month). I wonder if D.C.'s bureaucracy has something to do with your not being able to get other options?

I think Rockville is a bit further north from me than 10 miles. I'm in Accomac county VA, 5 miles south of the Chincoteague Island turn off.

I seriously doubt the DC bureaucracy has anything to do with other options........Verizon and Charter are just taking their sweet time worrying about the less sparsely populated parts of the county. I'm 2 miles off of Rte 13, my nearest neighbors are chickens.....and they don't use TV, telephone or computers :)
