Phone and Internet

Not all areas of New Hampshire have high speed internet. Some places you can get cable or DSL but not both. Other places satellite or dial up are your only options. You will need to call around to check service.
Most of the internet sites will tell you to call anyway. If you ask around on the forums you can get an idea of what areas have what service.

Phone and Internet Providers

Cell phone coverage is adequate in most of southern New Hampshire for all of the major cell phone carriers.  Out of all of the major national carriers, Verizon Wireless provides the best cell coverage in the remote areas of New Hampshire.

FairPoint Communications is the major landline phone and DSL internet provider in New Hampshire. 1-866-984-2001

DirectTV

With many of the nation-wide companies listed here, you'll get bounced around a bit until you get to someone that handles New Hampshire. You will need to have the full address of your new place to get any real information from them.
