What I meant by my comment is that I was mildly surprised that phone service availability seems like it should not be much of a deciding factor in things like this these days.

My cell phone doesn't ring half the time due to the week Verizon signal in my home, and then there is the "where is it" and "battery dead" issues that make the cellular option unreliable for me. Since I have Vonage over Internet for $12 bucks a month, it still is very much of my equation to have land-line like phones around the house, and to have a "home" number.
Fairpoint has lots of fiber out to their DSL switches in the field, but brk-int is right when saying the last mile will remain copper in the lakes region for a long time.
