The Petition For Broadband Internet Access
Many areas in Webster Township are without broadband internet access. We are highly interested to work with any provider that will offer true broadband internet connectivity comparable to available cable and DSL plans. We also feel that changes should be made at the appropriate local, state and federal levels to ensure broadband access is rolled out in a fair and equitable manner.
Thanks to those who've already signed (latest 60 entries shown):

| xxxxxxxx | I need service as soon as possible. Charter has service within 100 feet of my property but will not give me service |
| Rob Mitzel | Charter Cable ends 600 feet north of my house on Scully and they said it would be k to connect. I use Verizon wireless broadband which is quite slow (but better than dial-up). Schools are requiring more connectivity for assignments and accessing grades. Need a fast and reliable service. |
| David Payne | I am only 2 miles down from a dsl location, but they refuse to extend it to my home. |
| Mark Fawcett | |
| A Gillman | |
| Dan Fllynn | I have spoken extensively to Charter twice over the last ten years and have been continually frustrated. I have spoken with the township supervisor and been frustrated. They can do nothing. We want high speed internet. |
| xxxxxxxx | Only satellite or 3G are available at my residence in Southern Maryland. Haven't tried the 3G Mifi yet but have been using satellite internet for about ten years. It is terrible. The motto for satellite internet should be "today's dial-up." |

| Kris DeAngelo | I'm SO HAPPY we're not alone in our struggle! I hope together we can get a result! We are only 1/4 mile in each direction from Broadband and Charter refuses to connect us! We'll spread to word and have other sign the petition :) |

| xxxxxxxx | I am a freshman in high school at DHS. Many of our school assignments are REQUIRED to be submitted online; it takes a lot of time to do this using dial up. I frequently have to ask my mom to take me to the Dexter library to turn in assignments in the evening or to do online research as our home dial up is so slow. |
| xxxxxxxx | Being limited to using dial up to conduct business and personal life activities is very frustrating and time consuming. |

| Mary Hawk | 10min north of Ann Arbor and verizon is sketchy at best on a good day, I can't get voice mail on my ATT landline and a middle of the road Hughes Net plan is expensive and not that much faster than dial-up. Frustrated is the key word! |
| John Constantine | |
| Arlene Ayers | I'm next door at my daughter Debbie Wright's she has Hughes Net. Thanks for doing this. |
| Carol Iverson | I had to go next door to use their Hughes Net because our dial up is too slow. |
| Kristin Wright | |
| Deb Wright | Thank you for your efforts to get broadband to our area. I hope we can get something soon. It's painful to try to get any work done with the service we currently have. |
| Kim Meray | |
| Teresa Russell | These companies should have to expand beyond the areas leased. Internet is a main aspect of most peoples lives now, speed is almost neccassry for many people now, since others rely on it as well. |
| Tim Lamb | |
| Joseph Maksinski | |
| Jeff Dohner | Thanks for setting up this well organized petition. I hope that one of these providers will take a look and see money to be made in the long run. 1st one to make it will get all the spoils. |
| Stephen Kemp | Satellite service is all that is available on Valentine Road right now |
| Ronald Clements | |

| Joshua Barclay | Even though our closest neighbor on Valentine Rd has cable, Charter wanted over 00 to extend the line to our house about 300 feet away. |

| Aaron Ridley | We are going in on a t1 line (0/month), and sharing it among our houses using wireless connectivity. Hopefully it will work MUCH better than Sprint WiFi or Satellite. |
| George Gibson | Thanks |
| William VanderHyde | |
| Keith | |
| Chris OKeefe | |
| Chris Leonello | Thanks everyone for your support. The more residents we have on board, the better chance we have of convincing a provider to service the area or convincing another agency to assist us. |
| Kathleen Chamberlain | I will do what I can to support this effort. In the meantime, perhaps we could ban together and approach a provider (Hughes Net, for example) and see if we are able to get "group" subscription rates... |
| Tanya Leonello | We can't wait 10 years to see cable on scully road...we need it today! |
| Erin Lamb | jjjjjjknjbkjbdddd |
| Jeff Dohner | I moved from Ann Arbor 3 months ago, and although it was a 15 mile move - distance wise - I feel like I also moved 15 years back in time! I had to get a Verizon Mifi, which at the best of times pales in comparison to the cheapest 'true' broadband, and at the worst of times - barely works.
Boardband is a necessity nowadays, I sure hope we can work to get this going. |

| xxxxxxxx | it's all about money. the cable charter is in certain areas primarily because developers paid for it's installation to attract buyers. and the buyers of those lots in developements eventually footed the bill for cable installation through the price of their lot. with the economy the way it is it will probably take another ten years to see cable or uverse on scully road. |

| Tiffany Mahoney | I am frustrated. Our current options to bring Internet access into our home are limited, expensive, and (adding insult to injury) inadequate. The need for Internet access is no longer a luxury used primarily for entertainment. We rely on Internet access for educational purposes, to manage our finances, as well as to competitively pursue our careers. We need broadband as a way to more adequately meet these needs while being affordable. |
| Brandon Lint | Thanks a ton Chris! |
