Solarus Fiber
April 09, 2025 solarus is a locally owned company that has invested millions in state of the art infrastructure in our area. Not only have they installed fiber to the most populus areas, but they have also covered small, rural areas with few subscribers. Previously we had few reliable options, with many reliant on DSL. Solarus' pricing has remained steady for several years now and is less expensive than the national cable competitor.

June 11, 2026 Over the years the bill has increased for assorted fees. I understand inflation but we have not gotten anything better as far as service for this increased fee. It is frustrating to see new customer prices when we've been customers for 15 years.
