This sounded really interesting, so I just went to Alltel's site and
browsed around.
Apparently, according to their own maps, you can't get Alltel Broadband in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, almost all of
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, or Maryland.
Or - where I may eventually move - Oregon.
