Watch for the bait and switch! Said we could change selections at a later time during initial call, then craned a tv bundle down our throat at installation time. Now we are paying $160 per month for channels we can t even access.

Great service if the cost of service wasn't so much more than other internet providers. (this is based off the fact that 3 years ago I was paying nearly 60 dollars for 3mbps--which includ...

Shop Small, Shop Local!
Glad to have a locally owned and operated internet service provider in my area. Madison is always willing to help in a very timely manner when needed, but I have had very few issues! I would highly recommend them.

The cost of service is outrageous! The internet is unreliable, it goes offline several times a day for 5 minutes at a time. I cannot wait to have another option! Maybe I should recommend to Comcast or another big named company to move this direction. I never had problems like this or paid these ridi...

Service is spotty at best. Charges way too much for services. Tech support basically tells you to turn your equipment off and back on before telling you its a problem on your end. Internet speeds are never at what you pay for.
