consolidated says they cover nh, with pkgs up to 100 mb/s.  i know
they do fiber b/c my friend in atkinson got it from fairpoint not long
after they took over from verizon.  i can also add that their cust svc
is pretty good b/c my aunt and uncle in brattleboro vt have dsl and i
was visiting when a box on a pole down the [dirt] rd lost its ring
generator.  local crews cleared the co and came to the house that day,
and the problem was fixed the next.  and btw their call ctr is in mn.

curiously, the phones would still register incoming calls if you
happened to be looking at them even though they didn't ring - caller
id? - and you could pick them up.
