That declining market does not encourage CC to provide better service. Islanders are probably a losing operation for them.
I agree! Things went downhill fast when the company in Texas bought them and they had no idea what a very rural operation Verizon was in NH and VT etc. Best decision Verizon made was to sell it off and pocket the money.

I'm very happy with Hub66 on the island, other option was going to be Starlink. with NHEC starting to run fiber, and the other options available, I have the same feeling that Consolidated would be happy to have the island customers disappear

It's another beautiful day on the water, enjoy it!! -PIG

CC was on island today. The 25 pair cable was replaced from behind #54 to the entry point between #58 and #59. We now have hardwired DSL replacing the spliced temp fix. The old cable is still on the ground.
The cable on Descant's branch is still down as there is an ongoing septic install at #60.

Alan,

Any idea if CC is still working on the lines?
My cameras have been working since they spliced my damaged wires last month and were working this morning but now they're offline again.

Mark, no idea as we left this morning are off island. I did get an alert that connection to our heat pump gateway was lost at 10:45 am today but it is now back online and our weather station is also online.
