What stands out most is Chris’s reliability and commitment to getting the job done right. He doesn’t just meet expectations

What a ****py service provider, I haven’t had internet since Sunday and when I call to follow up on the incident that I logged, the call center person tells me that they cannot see how far my incident is as it’s sitting with admin and I just have to wait for the day that someone comes to my house😡😡😡 what’s worse is that they make it very difficult for other service providers to install fiber in our area just so that we are forced to stay with them
