How cna I find out what service providers are available to me in my area?

Is there an online tool that tells me? Or will I have to check each providers site myself?

^^ That's the service offered by the Dept. of Energy, Communications and Natural Resources. Given the unbelievable incompetence of the Govt I'd be surprised if it's anyway current or accurate but perhaps it may serve as a starting point.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

It's a bit clunky but does work. (I've no idea how accurate or out-of-date it is though)

• First you need to drill down on the map an click on your area.
• Then you need to click the Identify Providers button on the left.
• Then you need to again click on your location on the map.
• Only then does it list the providers for that area.

Remember this is provided by the same Govt. that has bankrupted us for generations to come so don't expect it to work in the way a normal person would program it.
Naturally they would have to screw it up in some way. :pac:
