Every time you turn around the internet is out for at least a full day. Absolutely ridiculous service. Some people work from home and rely upon their internet to make a living. Really disappointed with the service

Absolutely horrible I was told I could use for work, school, streaming movies ect and would have discount for internet since I receive benefits. Internet started slowing down less than a week after having it. I was told I had to call to renew my discount every 3 months called today to see why my bill jumped from $35-$37 bucks to $135 and was told something completely different today. Worse service I've ever had.. DO NOT RECOMMEND
