Unstable Internet
OK Centurlink we know you refuse to
upgrade to have fast speed, but is
stable Internet too much to ask for?
Centurlink technicians make no bones about it,
“The Copper Lines are older than us all” said a
technician in 2021.
Out in lower Floral City there is one wired
Internet option in town and they have zero
incentive as a monopoly to upgrade their
antiquated 50+ year old copper wires. The idea
is that one of these decades Spectrum may
come into the area so they would not want to
invest money when they will certainly lose all
there customers if such a event would occur.
Does this sound like a quality way to conduct
business? Century link sure does not mind
taking money from 100’s of households but
when asked if they can upgrade there service to
stable working conditions, they remind me they
THINK that spectrum will be here soon so they
will lose 95% of there customers. A call was
made to verify and Spectrum says they will not
be out here anytime soon.
So a company can refuse to upgrade at all to
deliver consistent services on the incriminating
that a competitor will come out at some point
maybe 5 or 10 years later?
If the State is going to allow telecommunication
companies to have the luxury of having a
monopoly by assigning them to a entire region
that sometimes span across multiple counties
deemed as territories. .
The state allowed this mess to happen and it
should also be mandated by the state to make
this right.
In June of 2023 a call was made to the county
commissioners offers addressing this and the
receptionist who handles the calls said:
We have heard about unstable and slow speeds
FOR YEARS NOW for lower Floral City Area.
What that really means is:
For years the county commissioners have sat
with hands in their pockets doing nothing about
this for years.
Try using the Resources Page to reach out and
see if you have any better luck.
We wish there was a good solution for this, but
it seems after years of pleading with the County
Commissioners they had other things on their
mind. FULL STORY HERE
