Central Scott Telephone Fiber

Central Scott Internet does internet for Eldridge and some other nearby towns, I think. Small ISP. I haven't had any issues with the service, it's very rarely gone down or had an unexpected outage. Customer support isn't too busy, so they're pretty quick to help. Overall pretty good.

Geneseo Communications Fiber

March 04, 2025

My provider is a small rural telco who happened to get some fiber contracts in the larger adjoining metro area. I couldn't be happier with the overall experience - the jobs and people are all local, and when I talk to support I actually recognize peoples names. Downsides are a bit on the reliability side (lately) and the more limited support hours. But I feel like the trade-off is worth it - one of the few tech services I pay for that I feel 100% good about.

The speed of the internet fluctuates when more people are on it or during certain times. It goes down atleast once a month for a few hours. They used to have this area monopolized but they have some competition now. They still have the fastest speed available.
