Crosby Rd., Mountain View Ln., Harmony Ln.
DataVision Communications is in the process of building

That means that the people living
in these rural areas will be able to
receive DataVision’s high-speed
fiber optic internet, which has the
potential for unlimited speeds.
The project is estimated to
be completed in November,
weather permitting.

Why people are Cutting the Cable Cord

what most Americans watch on T.V. can be had for free online! All you
need is Gervais Telephone or DataVision’s high-speed internet and you
are good to go! Have fun saving.

The games of just about every major sport are
available through online streaming video.
This year's Super Bowl will be streamed over the
Internet for the first time.
Sales of Roku's popular streaming boxes were up
300% in 2011.
It's not rocket science: If you know how to use a
DVD player, you can get Internet content on
your television.
