Raynham still waiting for Verizon to connect customers to local access channels
RAYNHAM — Four months after inking a deal with the town of Raynham, Verizon has yet to connect its new customers in the community to the local government and educational access channels.
Michael Heylin, director of the Raynham Channel, spoke at Tuesday's Board of Selectmen meeting, informing the public that by contract Verizon has two more months to connect its customers in town to the two local access stations that serve the community.
Heylin said he wanted to explain the situation after several Verizon customers have approached him, wondering why they aren't able to watch the weekly Board of Selectmen meetings on television from the comfort of their homes.
"Verizon had six months to finish the wiring," Heylin told the Board. "They are doing what they have to do. But they are not going to hustle it along if they don't have to."
