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.”

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.
