Havasu New Internet Service?

[stephenkatsea]

Havasu News reports an internet service provider known as Allo Communications is planning on bringing 10G fiber to LHC. Does anybody know anything about them. They claim there was a nation wide survey of 63 communities for their satisfaction level of affordable high speed Internet. Reports indicated LHC scored the lowest of all 63. Therefore, Allo Communications was coming to LHC first. Is this true? Havasu News is known to not always be correct. . . .

I would definitely try them if it is true. We have SuddenLink and the internet looses signal all day long. Very annoying when trying to work from home!

Yes it is true. Applied for a job with them in LHC last week. Keeping my fingers crossed. Will be interested to see what the construction timeline will be.

Mohave Electric is now offering fiber in Bullhead and surrounding areas. Ditching Suddenlink as soon as we can.

Dude fixed mine. It’s been rock solid for 18 months.

Same thing here was having a bunch of issues and finally got someone to come out that knew what they were doing and it’s been working great since.

Ours used to go out all the time. Cable guys kept saying it was a bad line from the utility box to the and that they would need to get in touch with the neighbor where the box was. I never felt real comfortable with their diagnosis so I bought a cable tracer and went to work.
found loose connections coming into the house then traced every wall connection. Opened up where the cable distribution box was and found several cables from different sources grounded together.
Since I cleaned up all the wiring mess we have been trouble free.

Do you not have spectrum in havasu?

I have WireFree @ the Islander. Need another option.

Same with us at our house on Jamaica S. It sucks because for some reason even with full bars/LTE signal our phones will not work at the house. Walk to the road and it may work or in one corner of the yard....so we depend on the wifi signal for phone calls/texts etc.

Fiber is great...BUT they butcher the shit out of the roads to do it...

I've been meaning to look into starlink for out there.

If you’re asking me then yes.

Open house is on the 15th.

I was under the understanding that it was only sudden link/frontier? I may need to call spectrum...

Suddenloss goes down multiple times a day, and the prices keep going up. I signed up for Starlink four or five months ago and have not heard back from them. I am considering trying T-Mobile home 5G internet service since it is available in north Havasu for $60 mo all in. The 10G fiber option sounds interesting if it comes here.

My apologies, I read it wrong we have suddenlink.

Allo is the new company. They are advertising a bit early. They have to build the infrastructure first. It will be FTTH.

 

[Big B Hova]

10G? Havasu needs to get their 2g working first.

Starlink will probably be available in the Continental US before that happens . https://www.starlink.com/

The majority of Havasu has overhead utilities, the infrastructure is already in place to string a fiber bundle pole to pole. In the areas that are underground then yes they will have to tear up the road. I would expect they would set up the overhead first before investing in trenching new conduits.

The did overhead in hawaii...it was interesting to see it done... In Texas they cut lines dropped the fiber in, and tarred it closed. It looks like shit all over San Antonio. Didn't matter whether the neighborhoods were overhead or not. A lot of Havasu built after 1990 is underground...including our house. Time will tell what they do, but the competition is desperately needed.
