Does SMECO have any plans for implementing broadband access to your rural customers? We have no options out here other than satellite which is not adequate.

SMECO staff and our Board of Directors are aware of the broadband accessibility issue in our area. We have actively participated in several state and local task forces that have focused on extending broadband to rural areas. SMECO is working with the Charles County government and its internet partner, Think Big Networks, to extend broadband to the Nanjemoy and Cobb Neck areas. For the time being, we are committed to helping existing Internet Service Providers extend service to unserved areas.

SMECO is a power company and does not supply any type of Communication systems. The southern MD region is covered by either Comcast or Cox Communications. You can use either of their websites to determine if you are in their coverage area. If not you are probably stuck with Satellite or DSL (home phone line) for the time being.

I am really not sure to tell you the truth
