The HomeTown Internet Story

Cue the birds singing…big trees…quiet neighborhood fresh air…surrounded by friends and family.

Just because you prefer to have a little more space, and slightly slower pace – shouldn’t mean you have to
compromise on your internet service. You have the same needs – virtual meetings when working
remotely from home, streaming the latest movies and videos, gaming and more.
But sadly, your current connection simply cannot cut it. You ask yourself, “is this the
price I pay for choosing to live in a rural area?

We are Hometown Internet. We know how
frustrating a slow or stalled connection can
be. We also understand, appreciate, and
respect the value of living in a smaller
community (in fact, there is a good
chance that many of our team members
live in your neighborhood). That is why we
started our own internet connectivity business, partnering with world
class network providers, that caters solely to small towns and rural areas.
Frankly it is a part of the business the big guys simply aren’t interested in.
But rural business is the core of our business and it’s all that we do.

    Our sole purpose is to provide a better internet solution to our
friends, family, and neighbors like you. We deliver faster speeds,
reliable connections, consistent streams, state of the art technology,
and “hometown” friendly service. All at a price you can afford.

At pre-installation, HTI ran a speed test. I was paying for up to 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. The HTI test shows 10 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload on my own computer. Then they place the HTI cable into my computer and it immediately shot up to 126 Mbps download and 15 Mbps upload. We did the bandwidth test and determined we just need 75 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload, for $74.99 per month. So, 2 hours later, $99.00 installation, and a router for $120.00 we have 7 times the internet speeds. If we need more in the future, I can get up to 12 times more bandwidth. It was a good day to change internet carriers.

I was HomeTown Internet's first installation. Sure, they were new to the area. My POS (point of service for credit card) was not reliable, had to use phone service dial-up when my internet slowed or went offline. And my store did not have enough internet bandwidth to have my financial person work from my store/office. At pre-installation, HTI ran a speed test. I was paying for up to 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. The HTI test shows 9.04 Mbps download and .50 Mbps upload on Sven’s main computer. Then they placed the HTI cable into my computer and it immediately shot up to 122.53 Mbps download and 62.11 Mbps upload. The installation was fast and smooth, with a little workaround to integrate my work phone. My Internet Specialist can work from my office and most importantly, I like the internet service so much that I installed it at my home 3 blocks away. We have been up and running for over a year and down just 4 hours.
