Pre Sales Information: Install process: Connection reliability: Tech Support: Services: Value for money:

We are located in Colorado County, which is among the most high speed Internet under served areas in the State of Texas. though virtually equidistant from Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. This originally smallish WISP has now grown from a very limited area provider to one that now provides service from several towers enabling rural users in now parts of at least three counties to have decent high speed Internet service. Note that I said decent, not perfect. We have had their service for something around two years and the first couple of months the performance of Internet connection was a bit rocky, but that has progressively improved to being defined as good to very good.

Customer service is better than average for a small company covering many square miles of service area with a limited number of field service personnel. Bandwidth wise there are two options, 1.5 mps and 3.0 mps at $50 and $70 per month respectively, for most folks the $70 plan is probably the best idea.

Now a bit on the technical side for those not familiar with WISP service. For starters it is more or less a line of sight technology that should be reliable at a distance of 6 to 8 miles from the provider's tower with somewhat flat terrain. However, if the provider has their equipment elevated and the equipment on the user end is also elevated line of sight is not absolutely necessary an further distances may be possible. Generally the technology used is subject to performance variations, some of which neither provider or user may have control over. Just one of those things that go with radio transmissions, and the technology is radio receiver/transmitter in nature, as well as network congestion.

Within Colorado County Texas this is the best Wireless Internet Service available. No one in the County can provide more bandwidth other than AT&T with a wired connection.
