              I have been trying to get internet and phone service through Arvig since April. When I first called to set it up they took three weeks to come out to initially connect service on may 7th. We were told at that time that due to the house fire and location of the new home they need to dig a new line. I have called 4 times since then including today and kept getting the response they will check with construction and let me know. I was told today that it could take up to a year for them to do the work. There are no other providers and this is outrageous. My daughter had to go to the hospital and my dad had to run to the road just to call 911. It is unacceptable to allow this to continue.

              We became a customer for internet service in April 2024 but we requested a service hookup last year. We were told because of the fiber optic construction, they couldn't connect our house. When we got a technician to come over in April he said that we could have had internet through coaxial cable which is in the house but Arvig never told us that. Then the technician said on the work order, we were offered 50% off on our first 3 months of service, the first bill came up to the full service price so Arvig lied and didn't go by their word. Once Midco comes through our town we'll be switching.
