Bryant did a hell of a job. During my initial install there was only one wire connected to the back of my router, which some how broke off the router and I lost the only connection I had, which was the wireless connection option. After Bryant serviced the problem he automatically replaced the router, gained the wireless connection back, and ultimately found the proper procedure to get the wired connection working at the ethernet panels in my bedroom, living room, and den. Bryant established my wired connection after the initial installer did not. Awesome repair.

Had the pleasure of having Juan (technician) to come out to my property and assist with my internet issue. He’s very knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. Not only did he help resolve my issue but also give recommendations on potential upgrades to have a better experience with my WiFi. Really lucky to have him service my area!
