Highspeed Internet Providers in Granite Shoals

[harvey]

I have searched this forum and have not seen a clear answer to the question:

"What companies provide high speed wireless Internet service in Granite Shoals?"

Can folks provide me with the names of their providers? All I want is high speed Internet, entering my home through either the cable or phone lines. Nothing wireless to the house.

I know that Northland provides, but their costs are too high if not bundled with TV or phone service (I don't want a double or triple play). Thanks in advance.

With the limitation of no wireless services and elimination of Northland as being too expensive, you only have one choice: Verizon - provided they offer DSL in GS.

Butch, what are the wireless options today?

After many many years with Tstar dial up, waiting for something that did not require me to put up a tower on top of my house, Verizon arrived with high speed internet through my phone lines, and wifi throughout my whole house. I LOVE it!!! No disrespect to Tstar because they provided great service thru the years at a very nominal cost.

Butch, what are the wireless options today?
The Internet services that I am familiar with in the Burnet and Llano county areas are:


Speednet/ERF Wireless/TSTAR/Moment - wireless
281.Com - wireless - locally owned business
Zeecon - wireless - locally owned business
Pegasus - wireless
Texas Broadband - wireless
Northland - cable
Time Warner - cable
Verizon - DSL
Wild Blue and Hughes Net - satellite service

Not all the services listed above are available in all areas.

There was a recent article in a local papers about a new wireless Internet service soon to be available on the new water tower in HSB West. However, I can not remember additional information.

I for one would like to say that Wild Blue is expensive and rarely works at high speed.
They put a satellite on the house and charge $59.00 a month. I get "no internet connection available" messages very often. For instance today, I received the message twice already. Yesterday it happened about three times. We were out of town for a whole week. I thought we'd get back and have a few days of good service. No way!
I called customer service. They informed me that the satellite seems to be out of alignment.
They will come fix it for $99.00,service charge.
They require a 2 yr. contract because if you didn't sign a contract you wouldn't keep them.
I am seriously considering just signing up with another service all together.
Even if we still have a few more months with Wildblue.com ISP.
Live and learn.
Stay way from WildBlue.com.
