June 10, 2025 my provider is a small local company. the prices are great, but it can be spotty sometimes. when its working well it is very fast. we often have to call for declining speeds and dropping out. there charge if the service call is customers fault which is hard to tell until the problem is diagnosed which is not great.

March 01, 2025 I use a small town provider, GVEC, to work from home in the Texas Hill Country. I have never experienced any issues. I pay under $100 per month and it comes with an app where I can change the wifi name and password at any time. My family of four uses multiple devices at a time for streaming, gaming, and work.
