Rural Cell Service is the Pits! It’s Time to Get VoIP
If you live in a rural area, you’re familiar with dropped calls, no service areas, and bad connections. Rural areas have spotty cell service because they don’t have as many towers as urban areas or the current generation cell connectivity. Your cell service might even be blocked by the mountains to our east. So, while your friends in Denver are calling you over their fancy 5G network, you might get stuck with slow-going 3G that drops on every other dip in the road, if you get service at all.
You may have accepted terrible cell phone service as a fact of life out here. But it doesn’t have to be like this; you can have strong phone service no matter how far out you live. All you need to do is set up VoIP.
What is VoIP anyway?
VoIP stands for voice over internet protocol, which is a fancy way of saying we’re offering you a way to place phone calls from your phone over our fast, reliable fiber connection. VoIP services convert your voice into digital data that travels along our lightning-fast broadband network.
Why is VoIP stronger?
You’ve heard us scream it from the rooftops: fiber broadband connections are faster, more reliable, and offer more bandwidth and symmetrical speeds. All of this translates into clear, crisp phone calls without lag, static, or dropping.
Why is VoIP better than a home phone?
By adding VoIP to your broadband package, you’re saving yourself from paying two monthly bills. Plus, the quality of VoIP is far better than your home phone because your calls are being sent over a lightning-fast internet network, not an old-school telephone line. Fiber connectivity is the future of internet and phone service out in our neck of the woods.
