As many of my readers know, I moved recently and was without internet for about a month (oh, I had access here and there at the library). When it came time to look for internet providers in my area…uh, well, let’s say I didn’t see much that I liked.
Well today I visited Copper.net and man! why do I find things like this after I’ve already made a choice?! If you are in the market for internet service, have a look at Copper.net. They are an American based company- with customer service in the United States. I found it interesting that would be a selling point on their website. Lately, I have had to deal with customer service that I know is based out of India, although not concerning my internet service. Often they cannot understand me (sometimes I find it difficult to understand them but generally I do okay). It would be nice to have someone in the states to address my customer service issues.
Did you know that dial-up internet is still an option?? I would say who would use that but I suppose for those that use the internet infrequently (not me) or for simple things (not sure what that would include!) dial-up may be just what they need. For me (and most people I know) it has to be dsl or cable. To me, the speed of dial-up is crippling and I cannot imagine using it again.
Check out how they compare to the competition. Copper.net also offers free back-up service (up to 2GB) using IDrive. And another very interesting feature is that you don’t have to download any software. I understand why some people do not want to have to download software and with Copper.net, it isn’t necessary.

Okay I had to laugh at your "do you know they still have dial up?" About a mile from me is aline were they do not have dsl its either Dial up or satelite(which no one likes). Our ol dhouse we weren't even given a time when DSL was going to be available.. they still dont have it!lol
ReplyDeleteBut customer service based in the US would be a selling point for me. After dealing with the India based customer service for our cell phone it gets frustrating.
