CAVU · 02-27-2014, 12:23 PM

Anybody use them for Internet? Any reviews? Anybody know any pricing info. Tried calling them but, got a guy that sounded like he just got out of bed and than hung up on me when asks if it was lakes region wireless. Thanks in advance!!!

Its website is here: http://www.lakesregionwireless.net/

It's website FAQ's state not to replace DSL or Cable. Download speeds range from 500kb to 4 Mb.

Assuming that you did dial the right number, I would have concerns about the customer service, based on what you are telling us.

Have seen the ads before, just never really paid attention to it.

Thanks for the replies. I have time Warner now, just looking for a cheaper option. They are soooo expensive!!! I'm paying $50 a month now. My tv is 19.99 with dish. Internet is more than twice as much. I wish I could find a basic plan that would allow to surf and check email, TW most basic service is still only $10 less than what I pay now.

I get up about 3AM.... Maybe you were calling someone else, unless you get up earlier than that, lol

I don't complete with those that can get cable or DSL, my clientele are those that have no other options. I'm as cheap as DSL, so no price gouging. I just can't and won't try to match the speeds of wired providers. These days, my customer base is very small due to TW and mainly Fairpoint aggressive expansion.

I have a nitch of those who have no other options and can beat cell phone connects, but I'm not here to debate

The camera on my tower has been reconfigured, for economic reasons, and is offline, after 15+ years of service. I miss it.

Yes, there has been several people who have tried to assume my registered trade name over the last few decades, good luck to them, there is no $$ to be gained, lolol.
