I'd recommend Shawn to anyone: his knowledge, efficiency, customer engagement, and outcomes…read moredelivered are outstanding. He's a networking and IT superstar. Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

He is very efficient and worth every penny of his 2 hour visit. Will definitely call him when we decide to update our system Kate WB

A few years later the battery went dead so I sent it back and they sent me a new one and a bill for 975.00. After hours of talking to a dozen different people there they insisted their 975.00. I refused to pay so they sent a bill for 600.00 to my mom who was literally on her death bed and she paid it. It's the last I've heard from them. The remainder owed was sent to a collection agency. They care nothing for customers just that cash.

I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon because I was told it would save me money and simplify my bill…read more At Verizon, I paid about $150 for two lines. After switching, my bill jumped to nearly $300 with multiple add-ons and services I never clearly agreed to, including home internet that has been unreliable from day one. The home internet service constantly drops in and out, making it difficult to work and use basic online services. What's most frustrating is that I feel like I was sold services I didn't actually need, and the final cost was nowhere near what was presented when I signed up. This experience feels misleading and extremely disappointing. I went in expecting honest information and left with a much higher bill and worse service than before. I would strongly advise anyone considering switching to carefully review every line item and not rely on verbal promises alone. I am actively seeking resolution and considering filing formal complaints if this issue isn't corrected. This situation needs accountability and better transparency for customers.
