When Bruce Smith of Ellisville, Mississippi, switched his internet to C Spire Fiber, he was amazed by the speed and reliability.

"Now that I have C Spire fiber, I get approximately 600MB-plus download speed left over after I've got all my devices running, and almost 980MB upload speed all the time. There's no comparison—we're talking more than a hundred times better."

Everyone has a story like this: You made an appointment with an internet company, took time off from work and rearranged your schedule to be home. Then no one showed. Or, they showed up 45 minutes late with no call or explanation. Even worse — they gave you a three-hour window when they might be there, and still blew you off. Better luck tomorrow!

Listeners of The Matt Wyatt Show may not have noticed, but there have been times when the voice behind the microphone was almost too anxious to get through a segment. Trying to pull off a live radio show with unreliable internet service will do that.

If you’re fortunate enough to skate through a severe weather event like a hurricane, tornado or ice storm without damage to your home or property, you may find that having a gassed-up generator isn’t enough to get your household back to normal. When bad weather strikes, you’re likely to lose your internet, too.

Finally, there is truth to the saying that a rising tide lifts all boats. As the seventh-fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S. and the fastest-growing county in Alabama, Baldwin County continues to rise along the state’s Gulf Coast.
