High Speed Internet Trouble...
Several customers have been experiencing slow connections, while others struggle with little to no service due to poor signal waves between our main system at the Multiplex and customers within the community. We are working very hard at resolving this matter and appreciate your patience. At this time, we are looking at the possibility of building a satalite site up on Blunt Creek Road which would provide stronger signal to all clients living between Aldar Road and Bernie's Kustom. Please check back for updates on our progress. Thanks again for your patronage and patience. We appreciate your continued cooperation as we work to resolve this problem.
