After 5 years of struggling and switching between 3 companies and every service imaginable including the "New smarthub. We finally made the switch to MCS and couldn't be happier. We are getting as high as 21 mbps download speed where all others could maybe get as high as 5mbps in our rural area.

I switched over to MCSNet from a competitor company. This other company left me with doubts about rural internet services. Since signing on with mcsnet I am very satisfied with the internet connection as well as the customer service. I recommend MCSNET to everyone that is in their service area.

Mcsnet is absolutely terrible. The company, the service, and the customer service are all abysmal. If you pay for the highest service they have ($100 a month for 25 mbps) your connection will cut out 3-5 times a day.

In my past 5 years of bad costumer service with many different internet company's, I can say that MCSNet is by far the best not only in speed,connectivity, and price but also in costumer care! Glad to have discovered them and will continue to get all my connectivity needs through them.

We've had MCSNet for over 3 years now. We're on the Advanced package at 6mb and 100Gb. It's consistently in that 5mb/s range when I do speed tests and has stayed up quite solid through lots of different weather. We're almost exactly 6 miles from the tower.
So it's not the fastest at 6mb but for ...

The frustration with MCSNet is the same as all other rural providers, in that what they advertise they don't provide. I pay for a 20Mbps service, and on a good night it's 6 to 7, and a bad night less. They don't feel any need to provide the advertised speed, and we don't have any better options.

If you live in rural lakeland, and can get CCL, do it. I'm pretty sure that MCSNet routes their traffic to Mars first and their tech support and customer service reps are from the Andromeda Galaxy, as they do not understand basic communication skills or human emotions. Worst ISP I have ever had.
