One thing to note is that when that part of the development between 466 and 466A was being built, only Comcast was allowed to develop their infrastructure to supply television service and Embarq was allowed to develop their infrastructure for telephone. It's Comcast coax cable that runs underground to all these homes. When Centurylink bought up Embarq, they inherited Embarqs infrastructure, namely the telephone wire. With Centurylinks introduction of Prism TV and their ability to use the telephone wire to supply the service, they became the sole competitor with Comcast in the area in question. When you request Centurylink service, Centurylink uses the existing telephone wire to your house and then uses the interior coax cable wiring for hookup through their modem. That's why we do not have Brighthouse north of 466A. When the area south of 466A was being developed, Centurylink then had the opportunity to run the fiber optic cable right up to the homes. Thus those folks have true Prism fiber optic television.
