Pathfinder vs Starlink: Why a Local Partner Wins Every Time
I remember the first time someone told me about Starlink like it was a miracle. “It’s internet… from space.” They had the tone of someone describing teleportation or time travel. And hey—I get the appeal. Rural broadband has been a mess for decades. If you live outside city limits, you’ve probably experienced at least one of the following: Waiting nine …
The Top 6 Internet Features Small Businesses Cannot Ignore
I launched my first side hustle with a used laptop, a decent desk lamp, and the cheapest internet plan that could upload a document without melting down. I was writing freelance at night, ghosting blogs by day, and praying my Wi-Fi wouldn’t cut out mid-send. Back then, that setup worked. Mostly. But now? Whether you’re solo or scaling, your internet …
Starlink’s Price Hikes and Speed Caps: What Rural Homeowners Need to Know
I grew up watching The Jetsons. George flying off to work in his bubble-top car, Rosie the Robot running the house, Elroy doing homework on a screen—it all seemed wildly futuristic at the time. (Yes, I know I just outed my age there, but let’s move on.) If you’re a little younger, maybe it was Meet the Robinsons that sold …
Fiber Internet in Rural Areas: Closing the Digital Divide (For Real)
There’s a stretch of road between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs where a coworker once had to download a file from a drive-thru parking lot because the client’s office had satellite internet and large cloud files don’t play well with throttled speeds. He wasn’t even mad. Just tired. Because if you’ve lived in rural Colorado (or anywhere outside the glow of …

Broadband Infrastructure Planning: The Hidden Factor That Can Delay Your Build
You’ve got a construction schedule tighter than a steel beam and a million things to juggle. You’re coordinating trades, ensuring materials show up when they should, and making sure no one accidentally pours concrete over a crucial conduit (yes, we’ve seen it happen). Everything is moving along just fine—until someone asks, “Wait… who’s handling the internet?” And just like that, …
When Every Detail Matters: Ensuring Flawless Internet Service for High-End Estates
A property manager once told me, “I don’t care if everything in the house has worked perfectly for the 11 months the homeowner’s been gone. The only thing that matters is that the moment they walk through that door, it still works perfectly.” And I get it. These homeowners expect seamless service—from the landscaping to the linens to the lighting. …
Say Goodbye to Bad Wi-Fi: Affordable Internet Solutions for Homes and Businesses
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fair share of internet headaches. There was a time I was on an important Zoom call, mid-presentation when my connection froze. My screen locked, my voice cut out, and I had no idea if my message had landed—or if I’d just spent a minute talking to myself. Then there was the …
