We have had this device for a few years and recently upgraded to a 1GB line with them. The tech came out and install the fiber into my house at no charge. The all fiber line is very fast. Because the fiber is all the way into my house I not only get the 1gb speed but it is also symmetrical (upload and download are the same 1gb speed). In addition to the speed going from 250mb to 1gb, the price is reduced from $142/mo. to $112/mo. You can also get lower speeds for much less. This internet has been very reliable and the technical support was great. Thank you SCI for providing a very good internet out here by our lake.

I have been waiting for installation for 6 weeks. Always some excuse. We have had their services since 2018 and it has went WAY downhill. Today talked with 2 persons so far, have had great answers but NEVER goes thru. Tired of the run around. They don't need my business as it seems. VERY DISSAPOINTED in customer service.
