Is there a good location for internet?

[Shandria Pinckard]

Hi! I know there are challenges with internet in SoWal.. but I’m planning a long vacation there and will need to work remotely half the time.. Conference calls and webex.. Are there areas in SoWal where internet service is better than in others? Thanks!!

Sounds like North part of the County may soon have better Internet than SoWal.

Sara Commander pushed for a large project to benefit "Rural" Areas.

Century Link provides internet in my area and it goes down after a strong storm...

I work from home in Grayton. I use Mediacom and have had very few problems over the years.

North part of the county definitely needs something. I believe they too are able to get DSL through CenturyLink but to make a wireless call from my father-in-law's home in Glendale requires driving the truck to the field, parking on top of a terrace and then climbing on top of the truck. And that's with Verizon.

I have CenturyLink and have issues as well. For the vacationer needing internet access, most beach areas in South Walton have cable internet with Mediacom. The west end of Panama City Beach has Wow.

For cell, we use T-Mobile. It's fine in Grayton, but it's awful in blue mountain. I have heard verizon is better. Don't know about att.
