Audrey Fisk was the first mem­ber to get con­nect­ed to high-speed inter­net. Fisk says, “My expe­ri­ence has been great so far. I could­n’t believe the dif­fer­ence in inter­net speed this ser­vice pro­vides.”

Gre­go­ry Moy­er was the third mem­ber to sign up for ser­vice. “We’ve had a good expe­ri­ence with Com­po­ri­um so far,” Moy­er says. “They have been help­ful and quick to respond to any ques­tions or prob­lems we have had. My wife and I work from home about half the time, so hav­ing high-speed inter­net has been a big help.”

[/me­dia-cred­it] Rita Beam­guard (right) was the sec­ond mem­ber to sign up for broad­band. “Every­one with Com­po­ri­um has been so help­ful, Beam­guard says. “It is almost like hav­ing friends come into our home to set every­thing up. Hav­ing access to high-speed inter­net has been a huge help with vir­tu­al school­ing.” Beam­guard’s chil­dren, Jon McClain and Kylee, are grate­ful to attend online class­es at home and to stream their favorite TV shows.
