I am a senior citizen forced to live on Social Security and a small pension. I do not live within the city limits of Buckhannon. I live five miles from West Main Street, Buckhannon, and I have been informed by Verizon that their DSL is not available on my road. I have lost out on many opportunities to earn some supplementary income online because of my extremely slow Internet service. I estimate that in the last ten years approximately 1/3 of my online time has been wasted, sitting and waiting for downloads, website changes, etc.
I used the URL,
http://www.speedtest.net yesterday evening to analyze my service and made a screen shot to attach. It was apparently "Too Large," and bounced the e-mail back.Info from the speed test: 3/15/2010 11:31 GMT

Is there any chance that Google would be interested in providing high-speed service to my area?
