August 15, 2026 Internet provider SUCKS. Had for 2 years, I could count on one hand how many days the internet was working properly. I mean this with my whole heart, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, YOU WILL REGRET EVERY SINGLE DAY OF IT. Not to mention that when the employees come out and try and "fix something" it somehow always gets worse. Not a joke, worse provider Ive EVER had this many issues with, and Ive been through like 12 different ones. Do not buy.
