TriCo Go Fiber
December 31, 2023 I really enjoy my internet provider. When we first established service, they came out to our house and installed service very quickly, in about 3 days. They have residential and commercial grade internet speeds. We have never had an issue. They also let all customers know via email when there will be an internet outage due to maintenance. Although the pricing is a bit high, I believe it is worth it due to the excellent service we receive.

October 08, 2026 Terrible service. I called and asked them 3 payments in a row to change my account information so I could get notifications about my bill. they never did it, then my service would be disconnected because I wasn’t getting notified. and in return id get late fees that they wouldn’t drop. If you have other options, LEAVE TRUVISTA ALONE! not worth it.
