BEK Lightband Fiber
February 12, 2026 There is a building in town and everytime I've had to go to the building, the people have been very nice. On field techs are friendly and helpful. They tell you how it is and don't make you feel bad for asking questions. My only other gripes are how long it takes them to get out to check something, and contant price increases. If you need internet hooked up, you'll have to wait a week or longer for a tech to come out. Prices have gone up consistently for the last 5 years. It's ok happening once or twice, but I don't see why it has to. Despite that, they are leaps and bounds better than Comcast/Xfinity. The speeds are fast and reliable, and I always know that someone at the building will be friendly towards me.

SRT Fiber
November 13, 2025 By far the best ISP I have ever used. I have used both Xfinity and Verizon in the past and both struggled with random outages/maintenance that took my internet offline for 'x' amount of hours. On the other hand at SRT, I have experienced very few outages, perhaps one this year so far (June 2025). The pricing at SRT is also the around the same that I paid at previous ISPs but my speeds are significantly higher/faster.

DRN Fiber
July 31, 2025 DRN has amazing internet service. It is high speed fiber optic internet. It is reasonablely priced, and worth every cent. Having the service provider be local is a major benefit also. If there were to be any issues, I can call them, and if it can not be resolved over the phone, then they send a person to repair it that same day. Very rarely, issues won't be resolved until the next day. If anyone would ask, I would highly recommend using this provider.
