ML Connect Fiber
May 15, 2025 MLConnect has fought a long, hard, tough battle to be able to provide internet services to its electric customers. In prevailing they have afforded more opportunities for education and work for the rural citizens of Tennessee. The service is reliable and you always get what you pay for speed wise, most times more.

XFINITY Cable
October 16, 2024 We live in a rural area where not many internet services are available. Xfinity has been a good service once we were able to get it setup. It took over a month for us to have them come out to run internet even though we tried to have them scheduled to come as soon as we moved in our home.

October 11, 2026 I pay for the medium service and I expect faster speeds but I'm getting a whole lot of latency when I try to watch FB or Youtube videos. And it's consistent. Might be time for a change.
