It doesn't, actually. Many areas up here are still without internet at all,
or they have dial-up/modem, and/or no cell phone access. A few party-line

The state here threatened Fairpoint, sure, but then there is RL. And
economics. And money. The hacks in Montpeculiar understand money.
We keep the landline in case all the cell coverage blows up and/or the
zombie hordes start overrunning the state from the collapsing ruins of
