Frontier Fiber
February 21, 2026 We used to have Comcast cable in our house, which provided television as well as internet service. We have since switched to fiber optics through Frontier. Our service is pretty good, I would certainly recommend to anyone. We do have occassional outages, but nothing compared to what Comcast had. And we recently upgraded our equipment and now we have a turn-around time of 24 hours, guaranteed, to fix it. I LOVE that! No more waiting days to have a repair done. The last time we had an outage it was four days before getting service back. We had a problem with connection with the new equipment, and someone was at my house within a couple of hours to fx it! I am very satisfied with my service now!

AT&T Fixed Wireless
February 04, 2026 The ATT is overpriced for its service level, that being said perhaps there are too many users, as I often have company. The dish is mounted on the roof, but this can get snow in winter. When you call the company they say they are coming out but they never do. Performance varies widely from day to day.
