December 20, 2025 The best thing about my provider is the reliability. They rarely have outages. If they do it is fixed in a timely manner. Price could be a little lower but it's not a deal breaker.

August 19, 2025 We looked at switching, but we would have had to have our yard torn up to install with the only other local provider. Asked current provider if they could give us a new promotion and they said no.
