We switched to the internet service from South Central REMC about a year ago. Took their highest power package (one gig). Our previous provider for the last several years had been AT&T, and had gone from about 1.5 Meg to around six tenths of a meg, on a good day. When we finally got the long-awaited fiber optic here, two separate companies were racing to supply the area, SCIREMC with delivery through overhead cable and company out of Monrovia that was burying the fiber line along the roads. Package costs were very similar as were the available promised speeds.
We chose SCIREMC because the buried service would have required a small box sitting out in the yard, and I didn't want another obstacle to mow and trim around, and I have a nephew who works for REMC, and they have become much more reliable in delivering uninterrupted electrical service in our area the last few years.
We've been completely satisfied with their service, and unlike AT&T, their promised speed is really there when tested.
The 1 gig package was on a special sign-on deal at $83/mo. I think it was something like ten bucks higher after that deal expired, but was certainly well worth it, IMO. So far it has been uninterrupted except for a routine service break occasionally that they warn you about and it is scheduled for a few hours in the middle of the night, so as to not inconvenience many customers. Dealing with them on the few issues that have come up has been very friendly and easy. and the resolution was quick and satisfying. I recommend them highly if they are one of your options.

I will agree the fiber from remc has been pretty dang good. We also had at&t before, which it took me 8 months of arguing with them for them to find out they could even provide service to our newly built house even though everyone around us had it. Couldn’t wait to be able to tell them I was canceling after the fiber was installed. We didn’t go with the highest speed, but ours is $73 a month and does pretty well with four of us with phones, computers, and the smart TV. Add on the Hulu/Netflix and a few other things and we are probably around $110 a month for all of it.

The neighbor had to email them a photo of THEIR pedestal in the utility easement on HIS property for whoever the dimwit was that he was communicating with to believe that he could get service. It went on for so long that it became a neighborhood joke.
