Worst customer service ever. If you like being transferred to everyone who works for them, then you will love them. They transfer over and over, then you have to start over because they only transfer the call, not the reason for the call. Internet is choppy, one day works great then it's just gone. I'd get rid of them if I could, but better service isn't available in our area.

Very bad. The whole internet cuts out frequently. Don’t expect to game or do zoom calls without dropping it
