SLOW Internet on Island

Post by Beaver Island Jewelry »

Anybody else here getting tired of very slow internet?? I don't know what can be done about it but I have contacted TDS. They have a phone number: 1-866-571-6662 or a contact us form for "problems with service." I did the form and they called me - said they "were working on the problem."

I believe if more people would contact TDS maybe they would get us a larger bandwidth for the island or whatever is required. It is ridiculous to have such poor internet service.

Any suggestions?

All is working fine over here on Whiskey. :-) Of course TDS is over here twice a week boosting my system. It's part of my government service. :? I am hunkered down in my bunker electronically spying on the Russian hackers who now have your passwords. :x You may not know this but I can see Russia from my deck. :roll: :wink:

Poor service

I also called them, filled out their form, etc. They admitted that they have a volume problem here and that they know about the problem. No apology, no credits against my bill, just and adminission of overselling the bandwidth.

I might be sucking some of the bandwidth with my spy operation. :cry: I'll contact Secretary Kerry tomorrow to see if I might cut back a bit. :idea:
