�As far as my words of wisdom, well, I only
have one and it is service. Its all about
the service. You can have the best fastest,
and problem free network in the world, but
nobody cares if they can not talk to a
person. Here, we are not fancy or smooth
talking nor do we spout a line of BS that
can be smelled over the feedlots. We tell
it like it is and we have solved EVERY
problem that has come up that we can control
whether it is ours or the member/customer
within 24 hours.
