Clearnetworx Fiber
June 06, 2025 This is a new internet provider in this very rural location. It is leaps and bounds better than century link which was the only other option unless we use a satellite provider. While the price is decent and also better than the inferior century link, who wouldn’t want lower costs internet?

February 07, 2023 Internet drops constantly and virtually no upload speeds. During storms I plan on not having any internet, I believe moisture gets in box or lines. I wish we could get fiber in our area.

CenturyLink
October 22, 2026 I had CenturyLink for 5 years mainly because they were pretty much the only internet provider where I lived at the time. Monthy price kept creeping up with no improvement in speeds and near monthly interruptions without compensation. I recently switched to fiber internet with 10X the speed and $20 less monthly cost. I returned the rented modem on time as asked. I discontinued CenturyLink in the middle of a billing period. They charged me for a full month instead of prorating my bill for half a month and they said I did not return the modem. Thankfully, I kept the UPS receipt and tracked the return. Sure enough, the modem was received by CenturyLink six days later after shipping. I called their customer service, provided the tracking number and they did remove the $150 unreturned modem charge. They would not prorate the month I discontinued service. My overall experience with CenturyLink was poor from nearly monthly interruptions in service, speeds near 10 Mbps and now charging me for services after I disconnected. I will never use them again. Customer beware; there are a lot better options out there for internet service. My biggest regret is staying with them as long as I did!
