I have to give a shout out here for Mike’s organization (Ridge Wireless).
They do provide excellent customer service and decent speeds, though they are sub-fiber and at somewhat of a premium/Mbps vs. terrestrial fiber solutions. I’m currently using Ridge as my primary connectivity with Comcast as a backup. They have consistently over-delivered vs. promised data rates and have always answered any issues I bring up promptly and with great skill and knowledge. They are a total contract from the large utility players and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
