tn13, see @justinlaing, above, in response to yompers888, as a start.

The City of Santa Cruz has ~62,000 people, as of 2013. [1] A 2013 boosterism whitepaper, "Broadband Infrastructure in the Monterey Bay Region" [2] [note: published by an investor; salt ready (?)] describes some of the then-current issues experienced with larger broadband providers, which include Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and/or Charter Communications, depending on where you live in the greater Monterey Bay area.
