I have another happy broadband story from a raeder, which I’m sharing with his permission.
John Bronk is a semi-retired boiler inspector in Minnesota. I heard from him last February. He lives outside of Winona and was working with Hiawatha Broadband (HBC) to get broadband to his house. Well, today he has it. It happened on May 18, 2009. HBC sent a crew up to his location and ran the cable to his home. John had great things to say about Gary Evans (from HBC) and his staff.
I asked him about the difference it makes to him:
It used to be when filling out state jurisdictional inspection reports, if I could get into the company server and work it would take up to 6 minutes before it would acknowledge that I entered anything. It would take about 30 minutes to fill out a report at times. Now it takes less than 2 minutes.
When I could get on ebay it would take about the same amount of time when searching for an item. At times I would just turn the computer off.
NOW, what a difference! When you try to do something on the computer, it is there right now.
