ESVBA wins case against Neubeam

December 8, 2019 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

Declaration Network Group (DNG, operating as NeuBeam) on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, petitioned the State Corporation Commission of Virginia in December of 2018 seeking sanctions against the Eastern Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority (ESVBA).

The case was recently dismissed, as the last document is dated 9/12/2019 and just posted to the SCC website after the usual waiting period had passed. In my quick synopsis, DNG wanted the state to rule that the ESVBA was not allowed to sell internet services on the ESVA, which would ironically include their own upstream services that they buy from the ESVBA, as well as shut down nearly every other open-access network in Virginia (those operating under the Wireless Authorities Act).

Sources told the Mirror that the ESVBA had to spend close to $100,000 in legal fees in the dispute with one of their own service providers. 

The link to the case is below.

    If Neubeam’s service and cost were more in-line with other providers, or they had some competition maybe we would actually come into the 20th century over here on Virginia’s appendix. I came from AOL dialup, to Cox broadband and after I started dating and later marrying a local woman retired here. I was told I would have broadband internet available spring of 2010, still waiting. My future wife had Verizon DSL and her bill was being crammed with extra services, and she was being charged for their highest tier, but only getting the basic service. I was unable to get Verizon DSL at first and had to buy it from a reseller at a slight markup, problem was when it went down, Verizon was in no hurry to correct it. Verizon finally made DSL available to me. When Neubeam first came around I signed up immediately, it was nearly a year before I got service and it was poor at first due to trees between my house and the antenna. It is pretty reliable now, but still I will get strange outages.
