Customer Reviews of Internet Providers in Fort Wayne

The new V-max router is awesome!!!

I was a Vandelay customer for a little over 4 years. I've never had any issues with their service, and really enjoyed all of the amenities. I received an e-mail a few weeks ago for a free wifi modem that has literally changed our lives! Now we can really take advantage of the fast speeds Vandelay offers!
