1 /5 Noir: Ive had this internet service my family first moved to the area, and originally things worked just fine, it was a steady and stable connection. However over the past two or so years things have gone downhill massively. My connection has become increasingly unstable, supposedly due to the bandwidth being exceeded by the occasional YouTube video or a game of overwatch. The tech support at the 24/7 number and the main office communicate poorly with each other leading to misunderstandings and a lack of anything being accomplished. Whats worst of all is that they use their advertized speed as a shield, saying that connection speeds are "best effort" if ones on copper lines, using this as an excuse for why its definitely not the equipment thats the issue.
furthermore, While the employees at the 24/7 line do try to be helpful, they lack the power to do anything meaningful and the employees who work their office are overall unhelpful and give the impression that they feel indifferent to the trouble the customer is experiencing, Yes Ive made sure theres nothing currently running thats draining bandwidth like one drive or drop box, Yes I have a game and skype open at the same time. and No, its not reasonable that the modem should shut itself off any time something like this happens.
The worst part of all of this is that even if youre on copper lines, their absolute worst service, youll still pay only ten dollars less than if you were on their fiber optic connection.
It seems they make their money by being the only option for many people in the area, much like myself. Ive already looked into literally every other ISP in the area and none of them except for Delhitel provide service in my area.
All in all, if you have their fiber connection dont worry, theyre fantastic and remarkably stable for a small isp in the middle of the mountains. for anyone else however. I feel the same pain you undoubtedly do.
