October 08, 2026 MTC has been a great internet for my family. Rather it be gaming system speed, or just watching tv in multiple rooms, The internet seems to run smoothly. I very seldom have internet interruption. When we do it is usually due to storm taking out a pole, or upgrading the system. It usually has been a short time when it does happen.
