Being 25 miles from the nearest "big" city, having any type of DSL is a plus. I've had Pioneer DSL for nearly 5 years now and it's only been down a handful of times in that period. Each and every time, they had us back up and runiing within 24 hours (most of the time within 8 hours). Phone support has always been responsive. They give you that "small town feel' but act like their entire business depends on you, the customer.
Only downside is the static IP plans are a bit pricey. 3 mbps down and 768 kbps up with a Dynamic IP is $49.95. If you want a single static IP, then it jumps to $79.95 a month. Four static IP's is $119.95 and eight is a whopping $149.95.
All in all, I'd have to give them a 4 out of 5. The 1 point taken away because of the price of the static IP plans. If you're not in need of a static IP address, then you'll most likely find them to be a 5/5.
UPDATED 06/27/09 - Pioneer recently informed static IP customers that their IP address was going to change. We received instructions with the new IP address and the timeline. The switch went absolutely FLAWLESSLY. No problem whatsoever other than the usual wait for the new IP adrdress to propogate to other DNS servers. In two days, all was normal. As I stated in my original review, I highly recommend Pioneer for DSL/Internet service in the areas they service.
(NOTE: I had originally posted this a few years ago but recently noticed that I inadvertently posted it to Pioneer Internet out of Kansas. This is meant for Pioneer Telephone Cooperative Inc. based in Kingfisher, OK)
