A Message from Mayor Martin!

INTERNET SERVICE IN LAVON: I have gotten many e-mails regarding this subject. There has been much research, many meetings and a lot of work put into upgrading this situation. We are not only looking at our current provider. Understand please, that while the Council and board members are working on this, the City is not responsible for this issue. However, Tier 1/Cool Access is putting a 60’ tower in my personal back yard within the next 10 days. They say there is a ‘dead zone’ in the area of 1.5 miles surrounding my home in Bently Farms that is causing our signal problems. That basically includes us all.

Ummm...  Conflict of interest, anyone?  Can I have a high speed internet access tower in my backyard too?  I promise to tow your line when it comes to issuing permits to competitors.  Please??  Pretty please??  With sugar on top?  Guess I have to be mayor first, huh?

LOL Tex,
  Great story   Hey, I want a tower too!!
 
  Not touching the conflict part, I'm sure she considers this a personal sacrifice
 
  As a side note - Tier 1 / Cool access became my provider when they purchased LavonWeb -- (I live a bit north and connect to the east side of the Copeville water tower) The couple of weeks following the transition where a bit bumpy, but they have been reliable for me since that time - a few months later I even upgraded from 1.5Mb to 5Mb service and since that upgrade I can now watch TV shows on Hulu and abc.com in full screen without having the show pause and buffer randomly in the middle
