Frontier Fiber

Twin Lakes Fiber
April 03, 2025 Twin Lakes fiber has been exceptionally stable and consistent. I am on the 1Gig down/500 mbps upload program. As a student, a programmer, and a researcher, the uptime is phenomenal, and it meets my needs. The customer service is exceptional, and I have recommended this provider to many others.
Amanda F
Twin Lakes Fiber
October 01, 2023 I am in a rural area outside of a medium sized city. Other than satellite providers, this is the only provider that services my area. It is a telephone cooperative that provides our internet. Our previous DSL Internet through them was sub-par at best, but since they upgraded to fiberoptic about 4 years ago, I am pretty much satisfied overall. The speeds are excellent, even with my son’s gaming, and streaming video/tv on two additional televisions, we very rarely notice any buffering or slow loading speeds.
