AirCell Fixed Wireless
November 29, 2024 It is very convenient to have fiber internet available. I enjoy the speeds available and the lack of internet interruption during storms. The customer service is always helpful, quick, and knowledgeable when I need to reach out to them. I wish it was cheaper but I believe their prices are competitive for what is available in my area.
