I've been using a community (co-op) fiber company for years now. It started in 1952 as a rural telephone co-op. I get one gig for under $70. The service has never gone down except during a power outage. Since it's a co-op I get money back every quarter based on company profits. I've always gotten a check, sometimes small but sometimes a decent amount. The company was founded and is based in the town known as the Birthplace of the Confederacy. It's where the Secession Stone is located on Secession Hill.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 copper, a fiber, and a cellular company serve this area.

I can usually get good service for around $40 a month.

God I wish! T mobile and Verizon both get shit reception at both my house and my work. And isp...we can use Xfinity (90 a month for 1gbs), or CenturyLink, which last time I checked it was 80 for 40 mbs

Ugh...both of those names make my asshole pucker up. I have Spooktrum here...They bought Insight years ago. It's ok, 600mbps for $40 is a decent enough price.

Used to have WOW, they bought the AmeriCast system from Ameritech / Ohio Bell years ago. I've heard the system was patched together with love, tape, and the know-how of the WOW people, and Breezeline got the pig in a poke treatment. AT&T fiber is the other local, but I don't like the way they do the NATless stuff on consumer fiber.

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.
