July 23, 2024 I have Internet through a local small company. They have low pricing that never changes which is rare and nice. The speed is decent but we do have some connection issues at times. Their customer service is top notch though, they are always right there to fix any issues.

June 11, 2026 Over the years the bill has increased for assorted fees. I understand inflation but we have not gotten anything better as far as service for this increased fee. It is frustrating to see new customer prices when we've been customers for 15 years.
