We are aware of an issue with the Internet. Poor visibility due to April snow makes it tough to get to where the tower with the issue is located. Once we can get there, we'll go and fix it.

We do have some sites that are down at the moment. We suspect they are down due to power issues, but we cannot get to them at this time due to the weather. If they aren't restored by morning, we will investigate.

The presidential alert they have been talking about for weeks finally came. Did you receive one?

You will probably get some sort of email like this. While they did steal your password from somewhere, the rest of the email is junk. Don't send anyone anything because of some email you got. Just make sure you change your passwords and keep them unique with a password manager.

We'll be reaching out to our customers to have them verify the information in our new billing system is correct. You can reach the portal from our web site at this link: https://t.co/NYYeKcv9tS

We changed to a new billing system this week. Let us know if you have any issues with it.

We are looking for apartments, condos, etc. in the Aurora and Naperville areas. With the repeal of Net Neutrality, we've heard from some people fearing their existing Internet company will start messing with their traffic. We won't, so we'd like to step in before they do.

We are having some issues with thermal inversions today. In short, different layers of air have formed with different temperatures\humidities and are bending our signals. https://t.co/daCNOtQrB5

@JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @realDonaldTrump @RepKinzinger @SenatorDurbin @SenDuckworth @FCC Don't take away rural consumers' best hope for finally closing the broadband gap! Keep #CBRS rules! https://t.co/kAKI5qALhm #CompetitionDiversity

@JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump @RepKinzinger @SenatorDurbin @SenDuckworth These are the kinds of areas left under-served if the @FCC gives #CBRS to the big cellular companies.

Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is turning into the Carriers Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) thanks to @FCC This is bad for networks, citizens, private LTE and our country. @SenatorCollins @SenAngusKing @chelliepingree @BrucePoliquin #cbrs

[Cameron Kilton @cameronkilton]

#cbrs paves the way for private network investment, from WISPs, #utilities, #municipal networks and more. The proposed @FCC rule changes will give the carriers more spectrum and less choice. #badidea

@FCC @JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @WhiteHouse #CBRS Proposed Rule Changes signal another trek down the "Road to Oligopoly". Increasing PAL area size eliminates competition and private use cases. Bad decision for our country! #RuralBroadband

[ICS @ICSIL]

Under a current FCC process, we'd be looking at bidding in 3 PEAs comprising 9.8M people for anything at all resembling our coverage. That's 20x the amount of people, of which we'd have no intention to serve the vast majority of them. Does that make sense to you?

[ICS @ICSIL]

For similar coverage, we'd need to purchase licenses in 142 tracts covering 911k people (way more than the 429k when counting by census blocks, which is already way more than our target market).

[ICS @ICSIL]

Two years ago FCC rules allowed us the opportunity to bid on licensed spectrum based on census tracts. We would bid on them against everyone else to let us provide a higher quality of service.

@FCC @JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @WhiteHouse Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy the holiday weekend. Give Thanks to those #RuralAmericans who provide the food your table and consider their need for #RuralBroadband. #CBRS Census Tract PALs are needed.

@FCC @JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @WhiteHouse Timing is everything. Announcement to Repeal #NetNeutrality will create enough backlash; the FCC can award #CBRS PAL License rule changes to the advantage of Cellcos, without much notice. WRONG!

@FCC @JRosenworcel @mikeofcc @AjitPaiFCC @MClyburnFCC @BrendanCarrFCC @WhiteHouse If you left your common sense at the door, when you left your house this morning, that's ok. Just make sure you have common sense when you vote on the #CBRS PAL License rules. #RuralBroadband
