There are HOA's (home owner associatioins) on Sheridan Dr. that do not have because of lack of lines (fiber or otherwise) into the sites /homes .
In other words, broadband is going right by the entrance to their development. They do not have lines, and Spectrum won't put in because of their "home density" guidelines. If they have phone landlines from Consolidated Communications they can probably get DSL. Strike that, if there are not enough homes to justify for the phone company ( no DSLAMS).

The development starting at Sachem road, off of Sheridan Rd has no cable, not because of density but because underground conduit for cable wasn't installed when the development was built and the HOA won't allow poles. There is DSL there, but it comes off the Sandwich exchange and is beyond the supported distance, so bits flow in a trickle. This is the situation that started the M'boro communication fund, built up from the cable franchise fees. Yet, while the fund has paid to upgrade speeds to over 40 homes, that neighborhood still is unserved. It would be a good spot for a pole-mounted fixed wireless antenna, but Spectrum isn't interested.
