We had Smarter Broadband installed about a year and a half ago and we were never happy with the service but we held on because we like to support local business. we endured a year and a half of slow service and paid a heavy price for it. we paid $199.00 a month for 20 megabits and regularly topped out at 3.5 with 1.5 download. We called there and one time we got it up to 17- still shy of the 20. finally, we cancelled after we asked for help and we were told there was nothing they could do about it. We were sick. We called Digital Path and the next day they were able to come and install, and so far we're very satisfied- we are paying 150 for 50mgb. this morning when i called to cancel my service with smarter broadband, I was told I have to pay up to my billing cycle, pay for the tree climber to remove their things, no they do not prorate and they will not refund or put any towards the tree climber. Just a lot of No's and " Im sorry youre having this experience" the fact is- the price is high, the customer service and speeds are low.

Although they are better than many. I am completely frustrated but their complete lack of communication during frequent outages. It is impossible to get ahold of anyone, unless it's bankers hours.. I've even asked if they could just update their 1990s website during outages and nope. Their Twitter hadn't been updated since 2020. It's also very expensive for the amount of outages, low download speeds and data caps. Yet every year I'm asked to vote them best in Nevada County. After yesterday, they dropped another star. After yet another outage, I emailed and Dan called and blamed me for not calling since 2019. Obviously he hasn't read Google reviews in years, just like their Twitter account. He blames their rental router, which I believe since it's an 8 year old POS. Originally, their employee told me I had to rent their router or couldn't guarantee their connection. Because I was very ill, less familiar with fixed wireless set ups and already worked remotely I paid every month for their 2014 T link. Did mention they require your SSID and password to this router? Don't do this or get another router as a firewall to keep them out of your computers and network. I firewalled immediately. Horrible security practice Yesterday, I rose from my sick bed to pick up this alledgely required for service router. When I got it home, I realized I had been misled for $7 a month. This was just a cheap off brand router, completely unnecessary for internet connection. I'll be returning that today. Th complete saga is on my Twitter feed.

What happens during power outs

We do as much as we can to keep services up. Unfortunately with 90+ equipment sites, many of which are in remote locations, generators cannot be used at every site. Batteries are used to keep equipment up during shorter outages, but these recent PGE PSPS's are very trying for our small staff. Thank you for your understanding while we push through at PG&E's mercy.

Do you service rough and Ready? What is the lowest cost if you do?

Binks | Oct 4, 2019

There are areas out there that have our service. We are a wireless provider, so you'll need to get mapped by our staff to see if one of our towers can get to you. You can call, email, or goto our website to send in a service check request!

Hello, Currently, we do have limited coverage in your area. We encourage you to submit a mapping request to our team either by phone or on our website to see if we can reach you. Unfortunately, we don't have any immediate plans to expand our coverage in that area. However, things are always changing and if we see a large amount of interest from the region, we are always open to further expansion.

What happens if you go over the data limit? Does it just slow down the speed or does it charge extra?

Alex | Oct 4, 2019
Max Ka | Oct 4, 2019

At the moment, data caps are not enforced. If somebody is using an extremely high amount of data, they may receive a call advising them to tone down their usage. Pretty soon they will start enforcing data caps, but that will likely come with an overhaul of data tiers, as the current caps are somewhat outdated.
