If you have trouble with your service, you will contact local people and all decisions are made locally. We will serve you in the same manner that we served you electric power for over ninety years.

  • I'm not getting the internet speed that I signed up for. Why is this?
    There could be multiple reasons why you're not getting the speeds from a particular device: - Weak Wi-Fi Signals Walls, distances, and even microwaves can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. If possible, move your device closer to the router. You may also consider purchasing a Wi-Fi extender (mesh unit) - Slow or Outdated Devices Your computer, tablet, phone, or gaming console could be outdated and not capable of processing the high Wi-Fi speeds. If that's the case, it may be time for an upgrade. - Too Many Devices on Your Network Too many devices running at one time can slow down your router's Wi-Fi. You may want to consider upgrading your internet package if this is your issue. To know your true internet speed, you can download and install the "Tombigbee-Fiber" app (https://www.tombigbeefiber.com/commandiq) and run a speed test. This speed test is run directly to your ONT device and relays the exact upload/download speeds you are receiving.

    These labels resemble those found on grocery items, but instead of nutritional information, they display monthly costs, broadband speeds, and data limits for potential service plans. It is mandatory for service providers to provide these labels, as per FCC regulations.
