Applications
Do you provide phone or TV service?
We only provide Internet service. Many of our customers are ‘cord-cutters’ who have migrated to Internet based services such as VoIP and streaming video services.
What are my options for Email?
Email accounts are not included with our service. There are many excellent email services available that will allow you to keep your email independent.
Can I use my smartphone?
Yes! Simply enable your smartphone to use your Wi-Fi router connection for data instead of the cellular connection. In addition to web, text, and email, you can use applications such as WhatsApp and Skype that bypass carrier networks to send messages and to make voice or video calls. Wi-Fi calling is an exciting new capability that enables phone calls to switch automatically between cellular and Wi-Fi networks.
Can I stream video?
Yes! The Premium service has plenty of speed for both HD and Ultra HD 4K video. All streaming video devices are supported.
Can I make a VPN connection?
Yes! Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technique to provide a secure connection over the Internet. Our service supports all VPN protocols, but your Wi-Fi router may need to be configured for VPNs.
