Sparklight Cable
June 26, 2023 We have never had any issues with our sparklight internet. Although, we are eligible for a price decrease through COVID, the regular rate of internet is very reasonable. The speeds are fast and the internet capacity is large. It was very nice to set up and not have to wait days for someone to come out

CenturyLink DSL
January 07, 2023 Unfortunately where I live there are very limited options for internet. Of the options available, Century Link is the biggest player in town. I believe they are overpriced for what they provide as far as speed, in 2022 we should have at leas 3x the speed that we do but evidently they are content with the current infrastructure. What is even worse is that not only they overcharge for their service, but the service itself is inconsistent and prone to unexplained outages on frequent occasions.
