It's great that the owner is responding to all these posts with positive comments and helpful intentions. However, that doesn't change from the fact that the staff he/she has under him/her is really subpar. I'm only giving 2 stars because of the fact that the owner is even responding to all these mo...

multiple outages per month. customer service places you on hold frequently and the staff seem unaware on how to help customers. Do NOT choose them as your carrier. Yes, their prices are lower than most, but you get what you pay for. Absolutely terrible.

Been in I.T. for 25 years. Put in a call for slow bandwidth, tech came out and said he'd update me when he's done. He reset the modem and wireless passwords, didn't tell us what they are. Didn't fix the bandwidth issue. Didn't call me and wont call me back. Worst service possible.
