Which Internet Service Provider Should I Choose in Stephenville?

November 19, 2008 · Posted in Reviews 


Stephenville Texas is a small city but we have several ISP’s here and to a new resident it could be a choice taken lightly after all it’s just the internet but someone that has lived here can tell you the quirks of each and such. I welcome any and all opinions on this subject as well because I’m sure they may differ from mine but as far as I’m concerned this is how they rank according to myself.

Northland Cable - Not the small town underdog, but Northland Cable provides affordable, reliable high speed internet.

Our-Town Internet Service - OTIS is one of the most well known local internet service providers and you get a piece of that small town service with Our-Town Internet. The owner Clay Helms is well known for his service to the community and this is reflected in his choice for employees. Mr. Helms is known to hire people from Alchohol Anonomous and help them put their lives back together piece by piece. However some of the service is a little less than top notch last time I checked I still recommend Our-Town Internet if it meets your needs.

Embark – The more I hear from customers about Embark the less I like them, I’ve heard them completely lie to a customer about something that in the computer industry is very common knowledge. But Embarks technical support took advantage of her lack of knowledge and told her that somewhere around 5800 or 6000 kb is equal to 1Mb of data transfer. No as a matter of fact it is exactly 1024kb in 1Mb the only way I could see this matter getting misconstrued is when it comes to data upload and download. Often an ISP will give you 5mb or so download and only 1.5mb upload rate or sometimes known as a half open connection depending on the varying rates of speed. If this was a half open connection and they were trying to explain this to her then she could have misunderstood. Otherwise…. well… I just don’t see where they get their information from. They’re connection is slow from what I hear but I don’t speak from my own experience, only from what I’ve heard from ex or current clients.
