I've been considering purchasing a home in the Toledo/Chehalis area. I see that Toledo has fiber but Boistfort/Ceres/Meskill/surrounding areas have very poor internet service coverage.
If service is available you should have it as part of your contract that you will pay to install and test service from the provider before closing, and should it not be able to be installed you can cancel the contract. Most ISP's have no idea if their service is truly available in your location until the installer shows up. I've seen multiple people buy homes now and have this happen. Many were told that PON/fiber was on their street and sold it by the provider, only to find out that's not the case. These people now are stuck in a home which has no option for internet service other than dialup. Even if your entire subdivision has it, there is no guarantee that the service can be provisioned until it is. This is simply devastating to buy a home where you've been told gigabit PON is 59.99 and find out 2 months after closing there is nothing other than bonded ISDN/IDSL for 250/ or DS1 service for 1500/month. One of my coworkers commutes 10 miles to a starbucks for conference calls for this reason. Good luck! -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
