BLIP Networks Fixed Wireless
April 12, 2025 BLIP is small company started by 4 gentlemen from our local area. We are in a pretty rural area and prior to blip we had one very poor internet option. These gentlemen are awesome, they respond to calls and issues immediately. They also understand the level of technical expertise in our area ( very little) and work one on one explaining and working with us.

January 23, 2025 Clear lwave was quick to take the account. However, it took 10 days to hook the internet up properly. They also drilled a whole for the converterbox in the Wr9mg area. I own a brick home. So that was fustrating. The payment set up has also been an issue. Lack of properly trained staff.
