Panora Fiber
August 26, 2024 I live in a small town. Our internet is great in our small town. The only problem is that we don't have any options for where we can get our internet. Verizon and other internet providers don't have options for rural areas. It would be nice to get some competition to bring the price of internet down, but right now we are stuck using our one option if we want internet that isn't a hotspot on our phones.

November 04, 2026 Install was sloppy, wire hanging inside and outside. My main issue was the price kept increasing. The customer support took over a hour to speak to someone and then another hour of testing before they would isue replacement equipment.
