Why can my neighbor get FairPoint High-Speed Internet, but I can’t?
FairPoint High-Speed Internet is a distance-sensitive technology that works over copper phone lines. Currently, FairPoint High-Speed Internet is only available to customers residing within approximately 3 miles (up to 18,000 feet) from their FairPoint Central Office. In addition, customers must be served over copper wires. Some wires may be capable of handling FairPoint High-Speed Internet and others may not, even in the same area. We’re currently working to overcome the distance limitation so our service is more widely available. So, while you may not qualify today, it is possible that you could be able to receive it in the near future as the technology improves.
