Company Overview:

Working in the field may at times include customer visits, installing Cable TV equipment and coaxial or fiber optic service drops; installing modem service and ensuring a quality broadband Internet connection; troubleshooting and resolving service-related issues, while educating and assisting our customers with the services they subscribe to.
