Data caps are controversial because users see caps as a strategy for limiting streaming. Providers insist data caps are a necessary tool as they struggle to manage network traffic.

Customer Reviews of Internet Providers in Blue Ridge
Great Customer Service
ETC is the best provider I've dealt with in over 20 years in different parts of the US. The folks there are super friendly. It was easy to schedule, and the tech was competent, friendly, and quickly got us up and running. I'm pleased with the speed I have (150/10), but I do miss the Gigabit Fiber I used to have before I moved here. Here's hoping fiber comes sooner rather than later.
