Maybe not.  OTOH, I recall that my local exchange was originally
projected to be BB enabled about 18 months *after* it actually
happened, due to lack of.  It got brought forward as a result of
reduced costs, even though at the time, there were insufficient

Not a problem for me.  I'd rather pay install fees and no minimum
contract (well, one month), than cheap/free installation but be hampered
by a 15 month minimum term.

I know they offer LLU, but not from which supplier.

It doesn't get much more rural than where I am and no, no LLU here.
