March 05, 2023 One time my cousin came down from Florida and the internet went off. We thought he messed it up because he is always touching things. We called the internet provider and they came out the next day to check out the problem. When he came inside we didn't even have to talk he got straight to the point and after 20 minutes, He came back with a internet cable from outside that had to be struck by lightning. I was very pleased with the providers and will have no hesitation to call them back if i need any help again.
