I’m pretty sure no reason was made public - I’ve never found any information in archives. I was stonewalled by the public utilities company for almost a year before they finally admitted, privately, that I’d never be connected due to the Century Link stranglehold. I did find an article from 2019 detailing the inadequate infrastructure that CL was refusing to upgrade, so maybe they can’t handle the load and won’t invest in a captive area? It’d probably mess up someone’s bonus.

I had something similar with CenturyLink. They were the only provider where I lived at the time, and they charged $60/month for 500kbps down. When Comcast started to run cable up my road CenturyLink went bonkers and sued until Comcast just stopped.

Now I pay Ziply $35/months for 8Mbps down, and while that's still sad it feels lightning fast after CenturyLink.
