I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Betsy Barfield, County Commissioner for District 4. As many know, Comcast/Xfinity has come to Monticello and most everyone has been very excited about getting the new internet. Well, they came to my neighborhood and started installing so my husband called them to see when we could get set up. We were told to call back in a week, so we did. We were then told that our street would not be getting Comcast since there were no lines there. However, our neighboring streets were getting it. We were told that it would cost a lot of money for them to lay the lines and it wasn't worth it. Even though we told them that at least 3 out of the 8 houses down our street would for sure be switching. Still a no from them. I decided to send an email to Mrs. Betsy about our situation. I told her that I knew that she had been trying to get our town better internet for some time and then asked her if there was anything that could be done for our situation. She gave me a call a few days later and asked me for my specific address and said she was calling them to discuss. I am happy to report that this week, they have started laying lines for our street to get Comcast! I am so thankful for Mrs. Betsy and everything she has done for us and our town to get better internet! We appreciate her so much!
