Perhaps this is something for you to bring up with your local municipality, tell them to stop strangling the businesses that want to offer service to their residents.
I live in an area without two dozen local providers that offer services to my address. Neither T nor CMCSA offer service at my address nor will they even return calls about price quotes to build. The local municipalities were uninterested as well, including putting pressure on the local utilities (T/CMCSA) that have major offices/callcenters located in the township. Ultimately I managed to work something out and get service, but for those on the "edge" areas, its much harder than you would think to gain access. I suspect there will be ongoing property devaluation as a consequence of lack of these utilities.. - Jared
