Haven't had stable service for almost two years. My VPN shuts off every single time. Technicians have been out over 20 times and it has just been getting worse. I've lost over $6000 in income and can't work from home right now because I can't hold a zoom call without problems. I am so angry. They were supposed to retire in the walls and nothing ever gets done. My time and money has been taken away from me. Time for a lawsuit!

Carlos was absolutely amazing! He arrived right on time, was friendly, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He took his time making sure our internet was installed correctly, tested all the equipment, and made sure every device in the house was connected before he left.
He went above and beyond with his customer service, patient, knowledgeable, and super professional. It’s rare to have someone care this much about doing the job right. Astound is lucky to have him!
Thank you, Carlos, for making the whole setup process quick, smooth, and stress-free!
