A Cloquet, MN Customer

Aaniin Fiber

5 of 5 stars February 11, 2025

It is nice to be able to call a number for assistance and be able to speak to a real, local person. Anything lost from not being a country/world wide company is more than made up for by the efficieny of a company that has the proper amount of staff to handle their service area. For example, any calls for service I have made have been handled either same day or the next day. My last internet provider had difficulty sending someone out within the month.

Our provider was great priced and worked well at first. Now, the WiFi barely reaches halfway down the house and it's extremely slow.
