The installation was a bit complicated, but Kurt's guys, Joe and Adam, stuck with it and didn't take the easy way out. The next day, a Sunday, a piece on the dish went bad. Excede told me I would have to wait three days for a tech to come out to make the repairs. This is after more than 50 minutes on the phone. I called Kurt, and he drove in from his home - 90 plus minutes each way - to hook me back up to the Internet. I am very grateful for his diligence and integrity in backing up his product. Cheers, Kurt!! You have resorted my faith! Thanks!

I've had exede for almost 2 year and although their service can be lacking, Kurt and his team are…read morepeople I can count on for great, honest and reliable assistance. He answers the phone and is available, and Always, Always seems to have the answers I need, When I need them. He is devoted to his customers and loyal, and his install team does a fast, efficient job too. My first dish with them, Joe installed in ice and know and I know his hands were freezing too! They are good, hard working and really get the job done right! In this business, they truly excel and do care about their customers, something other companies should do, but many don't give us the time of day. It is a relief to be able to call someone who knows and is willing to go that extra distance. They are really an asset and very valuable team and you're lucky to get their service and install!

My internet connection went down. One call to DC Access and Katy (extremely competent…read morereceptionist) got me sorted in no time. She had Tony & Darnell at my apartment pronto. Between them they solved the problem (a worn out, ancient, cable, along with a vintage router). Both replaced quickly. DC Access a God send to our community - very affordable and no waiting days for an in-home visit, then staying put at home for half a day waiting for someone to turn up. Thank you DC Access.

In an era of rising prices, shrinking service, and companies replacing people with automation, DC…read moreAccess is a total unicorn. They're local and deeply committed to exceptional customer care. I've paid the same low price for almost a decade, and on the rare occasions I've called for tech support, a helpful human answered immediately and resolved my issue. One experience in particular prompted this review: my router went out on a Saturday night, and I fully expected to wait until Monday for help. Instead, I reached someone around midnight who helped troubleshoot the issue. Even more remarkable, a skilled and kind technician--who had originally installed my internet years earlier--came first thing Sunday morning to replace the router. This level of service is truly unheard of. DC Access sets the standard for excellence!

Shentel is absolutely hands down the worst…read more. Several months ago the power company dug up our FiOS cable. We called shentel to come repair it. Over a period of at least two months they would come do a little and leave. Finally a third person came dug up a hole to splice the line and left the hole. I called several times to get someone to come back and fill the hole in. My kid fell inside the hole. I begged and pleaded with them to come back and fill the hole as I didn't want to mess with the junction box they placed deep inside the hole. I finally just had to fill the hole myself. Think about that I paid them for a service A lot of money every month and I have to go out and manually fill in a hole and repair what they created. Not to mention they screwed up my property by digging a deep hole. They have yet to return to fill in the hole.

Early on, their service was terrible, very intermittent and went down a lot. After the biz changed hands about 18mnths ago, service got better, with less latency. Than they did some kind of upgrade to increase download speeds several weeks ago. Now have a bit higher download speeds at about 35GB but has a lot of latency now. SO my end user experience is now very poor, Latency is too high most times now to do any kind of internet gaming (which I was able to do before the upgrade) , video streaming is now flaky, video conferencing is now poor, and using a cell across it now drops packets all the time (when it didn't before). Now they tell me that its normal to have 30ms to 50ms pings. (which was usually around 20-30ms before upgrades) I installed a new wifi 6 mesh system as a possible resolution which made no difference. I see latency of 50 to 160ms now. I made 4 complaints about this since with no resolution!! Avoid this ISP is you can find other service in your area.

We've had a building-wide outage since Thursday morning. It is now Tuesday morning (that is, five days later). They only now sent a technician, despite hundreds of calls from residents and property management. A noxious combination of apathy and incompetence.

NetBlazr is dead and was bought by Gigstreem in 2022 and are actively running it into the ground…read more Since their purchase my internet speed plummeted and I would regularly have the internet drop out. About a month ago my internet stopped working and stayed that way for a week straight. I called daily and was given the run around that it is a "server issue and will be fixed soon" but they could never tell me exactly when. I eventually talked to a technician who told me Gigstreem is actively trying to lose NetBlazr customers who were grandfathered into a lower price. That and they just don't care enough to pay for technicians to fix issues so anything that goes wrong takes weeks to fix. After a week of back and forth and no internet I cancelled my service and signed up with another company. The outage started at the start of July and I had paid for a full month of internet so I demanded a refund as the internet didn't work at all after I paid. I was told I would receive one but it never came. I called a dozen times over three weeks and was told "the finance team is working on it". Eventually I gave up and had to file a charge back with my credit card company. This internet provider is completely broken and doesn't care about you in any way. I hate to say it but even comcast is better and I really hate them. Stay far far away from this company.

The prices were fair, we weren't locked into a contract, there was no deposit, the invoices were clear, the website was easy to use, and the customer service was great. We rented a modem/router from them for a month and then bought our own to avoid the monthly rental fee. Rita was a pleasure to work with and was always friendly, prompt, and kind. Whenever we needed a technician to come out (which wasn't often), someone came by quickly and completed any necessary repairs promptly and professionally. I definitely recommend Procom as a great choice for telephone and Internet needs.
