Tony and Debbie Steffey are retirees who live on a fixed income in southwest Virginia, and they re desperate for internet. To get it, they d have to pay $10,000 for a fiber line to their double-wide trailer in the community of Carbo. We don t have it, we have no choice, Debbie Steffey, 67, said of not having the money to pay for the construction of a line. We don t even have email or nothing, added Tony Steffey, 65.
It s the Steffeys desperation that sent them to an event Friday in Abingdon, which is close to some of the state s most restricted areas for broadband access. They wanted to talk to U.S. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia to find an answer to their internet woes.
