Overall, Virginia's Internet infrastructure follows a common pattern in US cities: wide coverage of cable and DSL, except that most houses are limited to only one company for subscribing to either type of Internet service. ^[1] The cable/DSL pattern has a simple reason. Broadband providers were started pre-Internet as cable TV and landline telephone corporations. So, they can use existing networks on utility poles to deliver broadband bundles.
