SkyPacket Networks Fixed Wireless
December 10, 2024 We live in a rural community so we only have limited options for internet. We are happy to have this option as it was the best available for quite some time. The price is reasonable and for our household it can get the job done. Unfortunately, it goes out all the time. It can thunder in the distance and the internet will go out. Weekend mornings, the internet will go out. And, it doesn't just go out for a minute ... it will go out for hours at a time. We don't live in an area that has good cell service either so we can't use that for a backup. I honestly cannot wait until we get other options.

April 13, 2023 We live in a very rural area, so we don't have a lot of selection choices in terms of Internet providers. The internet provider that we are working with is not one that I would have chosen myself, but they are an offshoot of a major internet provider and they are all that we have available to us. They have terrible customer service and overpriced services I with poor internet quality which occurs quite often. They are not an internet provider that I would recommend to anyone living in this area.
