Improve and expand DSL service for all in Lyme, NH

Thank you, everyone! I've printed a copy of the petition and will be sending it to Consolidated with the other documents later this week. - Niles

I require Fairmont DSL for my work at home in Lyme, NH. PLEASE improve this service!

Fairpoint is the only option for internet in my location. With its unreliability and poor service, how am I supposed to work from home?

Please give us some better and more modern choices in Lyme NH 03768

I run my own business out of my home office and on many days out of the year my internet connection/speed is so poor I have to leave town to work elsewhere. We really need dependable and modern internet infrastructure.

I relocated my business out of Lyme due to unstable internet. The estimated revenue loss to my business due to inadequate internet connection since 2013 is about $50,000. One of my employees lost her job due to the relocation. The economic impact is substantial & fiber must be considered for Lyme, NH residents maintain employment and keep businesses competitive.

The Federal Communications Commission issued a report dated Feb. 4, 2015, in which they "conclude that meeting the definition of “advanced telecommunications capability” requires consumers to have access to actual download (i.e., to the customer) speeds of at least 25 Mbps". That is the standard we should aim for. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-finds-us-broadband-deployment-not-keeping-pace “2015 BROADBAND PROGRESS REPORT AND NOTICE OF INQUIRY ON IMMEDIATE ACTION TO ACCELERATE DEPLOYMENT”.

We badly need fast and dependable DSL! This is a plea for business as well as for civilized living. I run two websites and a business. The state of New Hampshire must support its small businesses to keep it a financially viable. In addition, personal happiness and security in this day and age is dependent upon dependable web access.

Our internet has just gotten worse over time. Something needs to change!

Our internet is much slower than we pay for at Fairpoint. Even after calling them it doesn’t improve for long. We need the internet for work. Its really frustrating! Please improve Lyme’s internet! Thank you!

Improved DSL would be much appreciated.

Our DSL service has been erratic at best and nonfunctional at worst for years. Unexplained slow downs and lengthy failures are a regular occurrence. Fairpoint has been unresponsive to our issues. Often ignoring requests for service. The town is badly in need of infrastructure upgrades. Feel free to contact me for more details: David Allen 124 Pinnacle Road Lyme, NH 03768 603-727-2566

This is very important educationally, socially, economically and a matter of public safety for all the citizens of Lyme.

Please!

We can go to the moon and back but our government has not facilitated the development of high speed internet in all areas of our country for education, business and communication.
