A year ago, much of Jefferson County was a broadband backwater, with pokey, funky Internet service that seemed to sputter as often as it sped.
Now, Kristeana Sherwood’s Internet in Basin “never cuts out. It’s enough for six devices to stream, and it doesn’t lag.” Switching to CenturyLink’s high-speed DSL service from Blackfoot in December, she says, made “a world of difference.”
And Dawn Smartnick saw a “huge difference in upload time” for customers purchasing her photographs online after she moved to Spectrum’s cable-based service. “I couldn’t afford to operate my business at 1 Mbps,” she says; now, she gets ten times that.
