Spectrum Cable
August 15, 2026 Taylor H.
Bluepeak Cable
June 01, 2026 We switched to this new internet provider that came to our area a little over a year ago, and many of the preliminary reviews were very positive for BluePeak. Prior to this, there was an internet provider monopoly in the area with only 1 provider available for anyone, unless you used your phone servicer's internet hotspot. This was Spectrum, and has numerous outages and ridiculously priced rates for the terrible service quality it provides. However, everything has been much easier, faster, and simpler since we switched to BluePeak. the price is very affordable, the speeds are incredibly fast, and the outages have been minimal at best. There were a few weeks of internet outages that were becoming inhibiting to my work recently. Once i called customer service, the representative extended a $10 off discount indefinitely to our balance, which Spectrum would never have done! Outstanding customer service and customer retention from BluePeak overall, and I would definitely recommend them if they come into anyone's area and someone is thinking of using them.

All West Communications Fiber
February 11, 2026 Allwest generally provides reliable internet service with decent speeds for streaming and remote academic work, which I appreciate. Customer service is usually easy to contact and responsive, and I rarely experience outages. However, I dislike the occasional dips in speed during peak hours, and the pricing feels a bit high compared to competitors offering similar plans…though I also live in a rural area where not many providers operate. A bit more transparency and consistency would go a long way.

CenturyLink DSL
November 12, 2025 Initially Century Link was a very reliable network. Over the last few years the quality of connection has diminished. We frequently have buffering issues and loss of connectivity. We are looking into switching to a fiber optic provide here in the next couple of months
