WiSpring expands internet service in Alford
WiSpring recently completed construction and testing of their second service tower in Alford, MA. They expect that the second tower will expand their service, to provide broadband internet to 80% or more of the town’s residents. This doubles the service area since Alford’s first WiSpring tower was erected in November 2007. Both of WiSpring’s towers in Alford repeat signal from their primary antenna, atop Catamount Ski Area. WiSpring currently covers most of Egremont, parts of Great Barrington, and now most of Alford. Stay tuned, as they’ve been working on expanding their service into other areas as well.
WiSpring offers a broad range of speed options for both home and business customers, including static (dedicated) IP services. I personally use WiSpring’s service for my home and business, it’s data packet response is equal to (and sometimes better than) Alford’s T-1 line in the Town Offices. I’ve even switched from Verizon telephone service over to Vonage, because Vonage’s VoIP service works great on my WiSpring connection.
I recommend WiSpring to my customers, because its performance far surpasses satellite internet, and I don’t lose my internet connection during storms the way I used to when I was on satellite internet service. Also, after running my own speed tests, I’ve found that WiSpring is at least 35 times faster than average local dial-up internet connections.
