“Emailing a document without worrying about the file size, leisurely watching Netflix, doing research or just browsing the Web with unlimited, high-speed access — that’s what Annabel Felton wishes she and her family could do.
The Feltons live on Creek Road in Duanesburg, which is one of many in the town without broadband or high-speed Internet access.
