Atlantic Broadband Internet Service Review

Broadband, , Internet Service, Internet Service Providers

After a recent move I was faced with the challenge of finding a reliable Internet service provider.
Being we live in a small rural area the choices of Internet service providers are limited to say the least. I did some researching and found that there are two Internet service providers in our area, they are Wind Stream and Atlantic Broadband. We decided to go with Atlantic Broadband for our Internet service provider.

Signing up for Atlantic Broadband Internet service was very simple. They offer the sign up process on line ,which I found very convenient. They whole process to sign up with Atlantic Broadband took around five minutes. They allow you to choose the date and time that best fits your schedule for the installation. When the technician from Atlantic Broadband came out to the house he was very polite and seemed friendly enough. He asked a few questions about where we wanted the Internet cables installed and how much cable I would need. This was a great thing for me since I like to rearrange my desk every so often. The whole installation process was only twenty minutes.

Now would come the true test, would I have a reliable Internet service? We use V.O.I.P phones in our house and need a reliable and stable Internet service provider. Not to mention when I am working from my computer I don’t want to have to deal with being disconnected every few minutes. Atlantic Broadband has met my needs. I have not had any problems with their Internet service. I find it very reliable and have not had any issues with being disconnected.

The wait times on the phone are very short, I have never had to wait over 2 minutes. Their representatives are very friendly and polite. They are also very knowledgeable about the Internet service they provide. If Atlantic Broadband offers Internet service in your area I would recommend giving them a try. I have been very pleased with them. I have the preferred package and instead of the 3Mb they say you will have I have speeds well over 5Mb. Atlantic Broadband’s services and customer service are an A+ in my book.
