In Chicago the wards that make up Chicago are called Community Areas, nothing really confusing about it if you live in Chicago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_areas_in_Chicago

Not really. Compare the community area map from that Wikipedia article to the (relatively recent) aldermanic ward map from this article: https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2012/01/25/ch...
This is incorrect. Community areas and wards are two very separate things. The "History" section of your link even explains the history of why community areas are used in place of wards.
Oh so some Areas don't have any Access do they do not have phone service and ADSL.
You'd think it's precisely that: the poorer areas only have shitty DSL. The vote was over if Comcast gets the cable concession for the wealthy areas are they also required to build out the poorer ones.
Ah I see, interestingly some of the posh (expensive) areas in London campaigned against high speed roll out as the CABS where to big and unsightly.

I assume they worded the motion obscurely to avoid people voting against giving the "poors" access to faster BB
