If any of y’all remember me starting a thread about me buying a house a couple of years ago and the addition doesn’t have fiber internet and I can’t get anything but either satellite or a hotspot. Well after two years of trying to get our local provider Vyve broadband to install service I finally got the great news I have been waiting on. Got a call from a supervisor at Vyve last week telling me they approved construction in my addition and that they would be installing service in the next week or so. Saturday the line locators came out and painted the lines and installed the flags. I got a call from our HOA president while I was outside and he left a message for me to call him back. I did and precedes to tell me that he stopped them from coming in. They were supposed to start today!! I said how and why did you stop them and he said the covenants state hat 75% approval has to be voted to allow them to install service in our addition. I read the covenants and it doesn’t specify that a utility or cable company requires a vote only that “major additions” or “changes” need 75% approval. Now this HOA president is a piece of crap. He thinks his crap don’t stink and he acts like he owns the addition. I didn’t vote for him. He told me Vyve was supposed to send him some info so he could go door to door and “explain” what is happening. Now I know him, he will go around and do everything he can to stop Vyve from being able to install in our addition. Even though it won’t affect the guy any. He even told me he didn’t care if it came in because he has att dsl. Which sucks by the way. A friend of mine lives around the corner from me and he has it and says it is expensive and slow. They can only get a maximum of 6mbps download speed and it costs over $40 a month! I don’t know what to do to ensure that we can get service. He said something about us voting using paper ballots but I know he will lie and say there weren’t enough votes. Most of the people in our addition don’t care what takes place or what he does. They just do what he wants. I thought about making flyers and putting them in my neighbors mailboxes but didn’t know if that is a crime or not. I would go door to door but I am very shy and don’t know most of the people. Any suggestions on what I should do would be great. Also, ATT came in a few months ago and installed some new lines and we didn’t vote on that. But it didn’t come around through his yard so it didn’t matter. But this will so he is trying to stop it. Even though part of his yard is easement. This really ticks me off to no end. Very frustrating to be told we are getting service and then turn around and be told we can’t.
