Customer Feedback

  • We are glad we found PANGAEA

    We just recently started using PANGAEA. We really like it. It is fast and everything is going great. We are glad we found out about PANGAEA.

    Theresa Swink, Executive Director, Forest City Housing Authority

  • We have found their service to be extremely reliable and consistent

    The Town of Columbus has been using PANGAEA for almost a year now and we have found their service to be extremely reliable and consistent. The fiber optic network means we could have everyone at the town’s office on the internet and still not have a problem with speed and overall performance. Their customer service has been excellent and we look forward to having service with PANGAEA for a long time.

    Tim Barth, Town Manager, Town of Columbus, NC

  • PANGAEA has always been a rock solid, reliable internet solution

    PANGAEA has always been a rock solid, reliable internet solution for us. As our needs change, they willingly change with us. Great company with a great staff!
    Bruce Yelton , Polk County Government

  • We’ve steadily expanded our relationship and have run fiber to additional town facilities

    PANGAEA has been a great partner and broadband solution for the Town of Lake Lure. Our fiber optic connection has been fast and reliable and the staff at PANGAEA is always quick to respond to our requests. Since we first connected Town Hall, we’ve steadily expanded our relationship and have run fiber to additional town facilities. PANGAEA is now providing a free, public wi-fi network along our tourism corridor between Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village. It’s clear we have similar goals–to make high-speed internet a basic utility that is available to everyone.
    Chris Braund, Town Manager, Lake Lure, NC

  • Reliable internet service that is crucial to government needs

    PANGAEA connectivity allows the Polk County Government to share information instantaneously between county departments as well as pool resources. PANGAEA provides reliable Internet Service that is crucial to Government needs, especially for the 911 Services.
    Marche Pittman, System Coordinator, Polk County Government, Columbus NC

  • Highly recommended!

    PANGAEA has been extremely responsive to all fiber cuts, always resolving within 24 hours or less no matter how severe. The staff at PANGAEA is very friendly and prompt in responding to issues or questions as well as following up for postmortems. Highly recommended!

    Mike Thompson, Rutherford County Schools

  • I really appreciate the partnership between PANGAEA and Isothermal Community College

    I have been with Isothermal Community College for 8 years and I had some bad experiences with other ISP’s in my private sector days. My first month here at the college, I had the opportunity to meet PANGAEA and discuss new fiber connection projects with the college and I had the most positive experience with the management, engineer and office staff at PANGAEA. I really appreciate the partnership between PANGAEA and Isothermal Community College and I look forward to many more years of working together to better the college and the community experience with fast and reliable internet speed.

    Robby Walters, CIO, Isothermal Community College, Spindale, NC

  • This network has allowed our teachers and students the ability to reach a wealth of educational resources

    Rutherford County Schools in partnership with Rutherford County Government and PANGAEA has leased a state-of-the-art fiber optic wide area network (WAN) including 10-gigabit connections to three middle schools and three high schools and 1-gigabit connections to ten elementary schools and three administrative sites. This network along with the upstream link from PANGAEA has allowed our teachers and students the ability to reach a wealth of educational resources that before were almost unusable due to lack of bandwidth and network capacity. It also allows the students in Rutherford County Schools to access the many resources and educational opportunities that many other affluent school districts have had in place for several years. Our students now can compete with the students in those areas and be better prepared for higher education and/or the world of work (global economy).
    Benny Hendrix – Rutherford County Schools

  • We couldn’t continue to be one of the highest performing school systems in the state without the reliability of this network

    Polk County Schools has used PANGAEA for over 12 years to provide access to online resources for both our instructional and business operations. During this time, we have migrated many of our technology services to cloud based operations and the PANGAEA network has grown with us over the years. Since day one, they have supported our needs extremely well. The most recent addition to our network is a county-wide Voice Over IP phone system that will support about 300 phones. The PANGAEA network now carries all of the data and voice services to 8 separate schools in the county. We are very pleased with the service and value we receive from PANGAEA and we couldn’t continue to be one of the highest performing school systems in the state without the reliability of this network.
    Dave Scherping – Polk County Schools

  • We have upgraded our middle and high schools to 10GB links with no issues

    Stu and Ron at PANGAEA have been responsive to any fiber issues. Fiber cuts are handled quickly and with quick status updates; both voice and text. PANGAEA has also proactively replaced standard aerial fiber with armored fiber in places where damage could occur due to nature (squirrels). We have also upgraded our middle and high schools to 10GB links with no issues over PANGAEA fiber.
    Michael Thompson, Rutherford County Schools

  • PANGAEA has made a significant impact on our school

    Having a solid internet provider like PANGAEA has made a significant impact on our school system. The tools we use on a daily basis would not be nearly as effective without the fast and reliable internet connection that PANGAEA provides.
    Brian Bridges, Rutherford County Schools

  • Happy PANGAEA customer for over 13 years

    My name is Tracy Kelley. I’m the IT Director at CooperRiis, a non-profit mental health recovery program. Our main Campus, The Farm, is in Polk County, NC. We have been happy PANGAEA customers for over 13 years. I believe we were one of their first customers.
    I wanted to put into words how pleased we have always been to be part of the PANGAEA family. I have only been with the company for about 2 years. In that time, we have called for service twice, both storm related. Both times the service was impeccable. The techs replied within minutes, were polite, informed, and experienced. They knew our system and how it was set up and led us straight to the problem both times.
    More recently, we found ourselves in need of more bandwidth than ever. The pandemic forcing us into the new frontier of telemedicine almost instantly. I called and was put in touch with Ron Walters their Executive Director right away. Working with Ron was as easy and productive as working with their wonderful technicians. He made the process easy and kept it inexpensive as well. I could not have been more delighted.
    Suffice it to say that I would recommend PANGAEA to any who asked and am quite sure they would be as satisfied as we at CooperRiis have always been.
    Tracy Kelley, CooperRiis, Mill Spring, NC

  • Great service with fast speeds

    Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Scott Rash of Breakthrough Chiropractic Clinic, PA. Since switching to PANGAEA I get great service with fast speeds to meet the needs of our office. Have been with PANGAEA for the past few years and plan on staying with them in the future.

    Dr. Robert Rash, Breakthrough Chiropractic, Spindale, NC

  • Fastest speed around and very reliable

    Great service guys. We rely on you for our business and you have served us well. Fastest speed around and very reliable. Thanks.

    Dr. Jeffrey Viar, Foothills Medical Associates, Columbus, NC

  • You can always speak with a real person

    I have used PANGAEA for my business internet provider for the last 8 years. It is a very good value for the money and it would cost me much more to have other Internet. I love the personal service they provide. You can always speak with a real person when you have an issue, whether it is a billing or technical question. I would recommend PANGAEA Internet to everyone!

    Dr. Holly Hughes, Serenity Chiropractic Center, PLLC, Rutherfordton, NC 

  • That’s what I call Service

    Just wanted to give a HUGE thanks to PANGAEA’s Ken for coming to the rescue at my office following a power surge last week. It was getting late in the evening on Friday when we noticed that we could not connect to the internet and our office software is in the cloud, therefore if we can’t get into the cloud software then it would be very difficult to treat patients on Saturday morning. After one call to PANGAEA, Ken came straight over and had us back up in no time. Come to find out we never lost internet service it was just that the surge reset our router. Even though this was not the responsibility of PANGAEA, Ken had us back to full flow in just minutes. That’s what I call service. Had this been AT&T, I would have had to take a number and wait a few days that we didn’t have.

    Dr. Scott Rash, Breakthrough Chiropractic, Spindale, NC

  • PANGAEA has helped our business tremendously

    PANGAEA has helped our business tremendously. We are now able to electronically “flip” from chart to chart with ease and speed, where as we experiences long wait times with other internet service providers. We have been pleased with our service and look forward to an even faster PANGAEA very soon!
    Danielle Gibbs, Gallant Enterprises, Columbus, NC

  • Great customer service; great internet speed

    I have been using PANGAEA for 3 years now; Great Customer Service, Great internet Speed. Just wish I could get the quality at my house.
    Cynthia Milligan, To The Point Healthcare, Columbus, NC

  • My metropolitan colleagues are quite surprised with what we have in our rural area

    PANGAEA’s service has been great for us. It has been very reliable and expandable as needed. You have provided excellent support when needed. Many of my colleagues from more metropolitan areas are quite surprised when I tell them what we have available in our little rural town.
    Scott Warren, CooperRiis, Inc., Mill Spring, NC

  • PANGAEA has been a Godsend

    PANGAEA has been a Godsend for CooperRiis. Not sure we would have built our facility here had it not been for PANGAEA.
    Lisbeth Cooper, CooperRiis Healing Center, Mill Spring, NC

  • A connection speed that supports electronic practice management

    Shortly after the Rutherford Community Health Center opened its doors at our new location in Spindale in May of 2011, we began the daunting task of transitioning to electronic practice management and electronic medical records. Our initial service provider was unable to offer the connection speed necessary to support this function. We have been very happy with our connectivity through PANGAEA. Thank you!
    Michelle Pimentel, Rutherford Community Health Center, Spindale, NC

  • We have never experienced an outage

    We have used PANGAEA for more than a year now. Our previous internet provider was continually having outages and connection problems. As a healthcare provider, we rely on connectivity 24/7. With PANGAEA we have never experienced an outage.
    John Cilone, FairHaven Nursing Home, Bostic, NC

  • There are a lot of happy, happy PANGAEA people at White Oak

    Our Nursing Facility had no internet connection because of our location. We tried for several months to a year and no one would help us with internet connection. Then we heard about PANGAEA. They not only provided us with an excellent service but they were excellent to work with in all ways. Our staff, residents, family members and community resources thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your willingness to help us without just shutting the door in our face. There are a lot of happy, happy PANGAEA people at White Oak.
    Kally Dotson, White Oak of Rutherfordton, NC

  • Increased productivity, great service

    We were using another internet service at the facility where we now have PANGAEA and our productivity has increased and our staff loves the speeds and reliability. As a person who answers IT Helpdesk calls, I can tell you the service is great.
    Carole Finger, Heritage Healthcare, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

  • PANGAEA’s high speed allows our therapists more time with the patients

    PANGAEA changed the way our therapists worked. High speed internet allows them more time with the patients and less time in front of a computer, which is a win for everyone.
    Josh Scott, Heritage Healthcare, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

  • Attentive to immediate needs

    They have been attentive whenever I have called and needed immediate attention.
    Gina Durand, Foothills Medical Associates, Columbus, NC

  • “I was never happy with cable or DSL…No problems with PANGAEA fiber”

    Fiber has been the best thing I have added to my practice. All our patient records are accessed via the internet so speed is a must. I was never happy with cable or DSL. They always seemed to be too slow and would go down several times a day. No problems with PANGAEA fiber. It works great day after day and the cost is about the same.
    Dr. Jeffery Viar, Foothills Medical Associates, Columbus, NC

  • No dropped service, so much faster!

    Tuesday rolled around…time to see patients AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! No consistently dropped internet service, like Windstream! Internet service was so much faster! Wish we would have done this a long time ago! Your customer service was excellent. Looks like you guys are in the same business as us, “making people smile”… because we surely are smiling now with our great service! Melody Levi, Dr. Steve Edney Orthodontics, Columbus, NC

  • A simple phone call fixes an issue, even when it has nothing to do with PANGAEA’s equipment

    The service is very reliable, and if I ever do have a connection problem a phone call quickly tells me whether it’s a network issue or something on my end. Even if it is an issue that has nothing to do with PANGAEA’s equipment, the staff is friendly and helps me to get back online.
    Steve Burney, Medicap Pharmacy, Columbus, NC

  • Without your high speed, I would have had to move files on CDs

    I LOVE the high speed. My office is in NC and I work in Florida. I download every day, huge files over the internet. I do it all wirelessly. Without your high speed, I would have had to move these files from NC to FL on CDs. Thanks, PANGAEA!
    John Hugill, Medical Records Retrieval, Mill Spring, NC

  • I love PANGAEA! Fast, reliable internet

    I love PANGAEA! The internet is fast! It is perfect for a busy office. When I am looking up information for a client or trying to make an order, it is great to have fast, reliable internet service. I hardly ever have a problem with losing service but, when I have PANGAEA has it fixed in no time. I never have to make an appointment, just to have a technician not show up. I wish PANGAEA was available at my home.
    Betty Anne Foster, Tryon Therapeutic Massage, Tryon, NC

  • Service is proven to be dependable

    PANGAEA Internet service has proven to be dependable. In our office we rarely have an issue with our connectivity that is not easily solved within minutes, right here within our building. I am pleased with what I hear from others in the community about PANGAEA as well!!
    Dr. Jennifer Hughes, Serenity Chiropractic Center, PLLC, Rutherfordton, NC

  • Fast, Clear, Dependable and Reliable Service

    Doing business with faster internet is so much easier. We are able to handle business info and pictures at any time. Fast, clear, dependable and reliable service is what PANGAEA has provided. We are reaching more customers faster and more efficiently and has helped our business grow. Thanks for your service.
    Alan Hill, JACA Farms, Bostic, NC

  • It has been an absolute pleasure

    It has been an absolute pleasure to be able to use the network PANGAEA Internet provides! My customers have no problem accessing the internet while waiting for their services to be completed. This is wonderful because many times different cell providers don’t have good service in this section of Rutherford County. Thanks again!
    Amy Eitel, Amy’s Hair Design, Forest City, NC

  • Lightening speeds in the woods

    Since we have hooked up with PANGAEA fiber internet we are finally able to order parts and get back to our customers, with lightening speeds in the woods. Before it was like pulling teeth, looking parts up in online catalogs; since they took forever to load on our ancient DSL line .When we moved to the area from FL, three years ago, we knew we would be making a few changes to our business. However, we never dreamt that we would have to suffer with such slow speeds from a well-known company and their horrible customer service. PANGAEA has been a breath of fresh air to work with. From their first initial meeting with us out on our business location to explain what they could provide for our company, the pleasant and easy to work with office staff that seems to be always smiling and friendly. Right down to the professional installation of the fiber line and conduit by some of the most knowledgeable and down to earth guys you’ll ever meet. I can definitely tell you that PANGAEA will blow you away, not only with their speeds but stellar pricing!
    We plan on doing a testimonial video as well. Stay tuned !!
    Ross Deprey, The Camper Pros, Bostic, NC

  • PANGAEA cares about their customers

    No other company had the ability to give us service. One phone call and a day later, PANGAEA had us up and running. Truly a great company that actually cares about their customers.
    Paul Volcy, Trade Management, LLC, Rutherfordton, NC

  • Our church is able to stream worship services and bible studies

    We are so grateful for PANGAEA, especially during these days of social distancing! Our church is able to stream worship services and bible studies for our members and others who want to participate because our “quick connection” is secure. Our online presence wouldn’t be possible without PANGAEA. In this time when our lives are interrupted, our Internet services have kept us connected. Thank you PANGAEA!
    Kelly Settlemyre, Spencer Baptist Church, Spindale, NC

  • No service interruptions

    Since the installing of PANGAEA Internet we have had no service interruptions like we had been experiencing with our previous provider. Customer service has been exceptional as well. We highly recommend!
    Joseph Mazur, La Strada at Lake Lure, NC

  • Internet choices were limited and unreliable

    We are glad to have PANGAEA service in our area. Internet choices were limited and unreliable. PANGAEA has been installed in our office for a few weeks and we are enjoying fast, reliable internet. They were friendly and prompt getting our service going.
    Paula Rogalski, Hands Of Hope For Life, Inc., Forest City, NC

  • PANGAEA has been a wonderful surprise!

    When starting my new business here in Lake Lure, NC, I was concerned about both the price and quality of the internet service I would receive. I live nearby, and have not had good luck with my available providers. PANGAEA has been a wonderful surprise – quality, professional and a very reasonable rate. Could not be more impressed with everyone I have dealt with at this company. If these folks are available providers for you or your business, do not hesitate to sign up. Highly Recommend!
    Paul Brock, Lured Market and Grill, Lake Lure, NC

  • Great product, excellent customer service

    I cannot even begin to express the level of customer service I received from PANGAEA. Carolyn and Dana were excellent, walked me through the whole process, left no question unanswered. The internet service has been fantastic, I love that there are no hidden fees, the monthly price is what you pay. Great product, excellent customer service–you cannot ask for a better combination in business. PJ Gonzalez, AdjusterPro, Tryon, NC

  • I can’t say enough good about the rock solid connection

    We’ve enjoyed PANGAEA Internet service at our business office (Allrail, Inc.) for many years and at our church for a few (Midway Baptist). I can’t say enough good about the rock solid connection we have at both locations. We experience very consistent speeds, it’s always on, and they provide the highest quality technical service I’ve seen anywhere. On several occasions they’ve went above and beyond to advise us on internal networking setups that were not even part of the service PANGAEA provides. I’m very thankful for this valuable internet service option.

    David Swain, Allrail, Inc. & Midway Baptist Church, Rutherfordton, NC

  • I could not ask for better than PANGAEA

    My small web based company recently started using the internet services from PANGAEA. I cannot express in words how awesome the customer service and service has been. My service has never been out and my speed has been efficient and consistent. I could not ask for better than PANGAEA.

    Tonya Portis, Puppawrazzis, Rutherforton, NC

  • We Love PANGAEA

    We Love PANGAEA! At Express Motors our internet was slow and would stop completely at least once a week. We love the experience we have had with PANGAEA. Fast and reliable internet for over a year. Thank You.

    Tahnia Early, Express Motors, Forest City, NC

  • A local business that understands customer service

    Whenever there has been an issue in the past, which is very seldom, by the time I contact them about the issue, they are already working on it to fix it. Nothing can compare to working with a local business that understands customer service.

    Kevin Powell, Tryon Daily Bulletin, Tryon, NC

  • Team is friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated

    You just won’t find a better Internet Service Provider, period. We were so pleased to run across PANGAEA when establishing our business, Allrail, Inc. in Polk County over 10 years ago. The other ISP offerings were insufficient and impersonal, not the case with PANGAEA. Their entire team is friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated to providing the very best in service to us, the customer. We’ve received extensive assistance and network troubleshooting advice on many occasions, even though the issues we experienced had nothing to do with the service provided by PANGAEA. Our service with them is simply, always ON. We highly recommend PANGAEA Internet for your business connectivity needs.

    David Swain, Allrail, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

  • Fast, reliable, and reasonably priced

    PANGAEA is fast, reliable, and reasonably priced. We have been very happy with the internet service and customer service.

    Cathy Rogerson, Yetees Design & Screenprint, Mill Spring, NC

  • Monthly Savings With Much Better Results

    I love PANGAEA! Now my guests can work from my rental house in Lake Lure and stay connected. I now stream TV and movies, a big monthly savings with much better results. I have also changed from a land line phone to an internet phone for about $30 a year!! It all works great! I couldn’t be happier.

    Patricia Gergen, Lake Lure, NC

  • PANGAEA’s product is excellent! I highly recommend it!

    PANGAEA provides excellent internet service at a price competitive with larger companies. We receive better speeds, no lapses in service, and personalized attention when we have questions. More than that, all of PANGAEA’s staff are personable, friendly and always available to assist with questions. PANGAEA’s product is excellent! I highly recommend it!

    Tim Marsh, First Baptist Church of Rutherfordton, NC

  • PANGAEA made the transition seamless

    We are extremely excited to be connected to PANGAEA Internet. This summer Barry and I made the decision to make a substantial investment in our office’s IT structure in order to offer the very best cutting edge services, security and privacy protection to our clients. Upgrading to the dependability and affordability of the PANGAEA fiber optic connections was necessary for the security of our project. Ken Griffin and James Green from PANGAEA made the transition seamless. Our partnership with the PANGAEA team is essential to delivering the quality services our clients deserve and expect.

    Jo Brown, The Brown Companies, LLC

  • Great job guys, thank you

    The Site manager at Tryon told me that he was impressed and very happy with the level of service that PANGAEA was providing and that I would be as well. He was correct. Great job guys, thank you.

    Ervin Norman, Dover Saddlery, Mill Spring, NC

  • PANGAEA came thru when others couldn’t

    PANGAEA came thru when others couldn’t. We needed enough bandwidth in a remote area for one of our outlying customers. This supported the bandwidth we required for VOIP and Video in a cost effective solution.

    Jason Drum, Cliffside Restoration Company, LLC, Mooresboro, NC

  • PANGAEA has allowed our business and many of our customers to thrive

    Great to have reliable, robust bandwidth in a rural area that is traditionally challenged with providing these. They have allowed our business and many of our customers to thrive.

    Dana Conner, Conner Computer Consultants, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

  • No down time, reliable service, no price increases

    PANGAEA has been excellent. No down time, reliable service, no price increases, and no “nickel and diming”. Would recommend to any business. They hold to their word and seem genuinely interested in just providing reliable fast internet rather than finding ways to introduce new fees.

    Samuel Staton, Staton CPA, P.C., Rutherfordton, NC

  • I have found PANGAEA to be the most reliable and cost effective internet solution in our area

    TeamCFA Foundation Inc. is a non-profit catalyst for school choice. We are growing a network of free, public charter schools. We are a totally cloud based operation headquartered in Forest City, NC. It is imperative that we have reliable internet service. In research and personal experience, I have found PANGAEA to be the most reliable and cost effective internet solution available in our area.

    Jennifer McCluney, TeamCFA Foundation, Forest City, NC

    At First Baptist Church, Rutherfordton, NC, we could not be more pleased with the quality of internet we’ve received for the price that we are paying. It is fast, reliable, and secure!

  • Without their service, I would be unable to do my job and live in this community

    PANGAEA has revolutionized business internet access in Polk County. Without their service, I would be unable to do my job and live in this community – I’d have to choose. With PANGAEA, I get the best of the Foothills and reliable, business-grade internet.

    Justin Wallace, Sustainable Impact, LLC

  • This is an organization that feels more like a group of friends than a typical business services provider

    The PANGAEA bandwidth (enormous) and price (very competitive) are the best I have ever encountered! The people at PANGAEA are very friendly and knowledgeable. This is an organization that feels more like a group of friends than a typical business services provider. I HIGHLY recommend PANGAEA for your business, and I dearly wish I could get it for my home!!!

    Richard Routh, Victorum, Inc., Columbus, NC

  • PANGAEA is saving me valuable time and money

    I appreciate PANGAEA saving me valuable time which in turn saves my company money. With the last carrier, I called monthly about my bill. I have never had to call once about my bill with PANGAEA. If I call the office with a question, I get an answer quickly. No one tries to sell me anything. What I really love is the consistency of their speed. Best decision I ever made was to switch.

    Pat Buede, Workforce Benefits Company

  • Internet is Fantastic

    I just wanted to say thanks and we LOVE PANGAEA! It’s the easiest swap we’ve ever made, and it’s lightning fast. It takes at least one stress out of our work day.
    Dr. Gretchen Kelly, Foothills Animal Clinic, Forest City, NC

  • It is really nice to deal with local folks

    I was very pleased with the response to our request to obtain the PANGAEA service. They came out immediately and within 1 week we were hooked up and going. The service is so much faster than our previous vendor could ever hope to supply and is less expensive to boot! All of our staff is able to use the internet readily and we no longer have to reboot our router 25 times a day. It is also really nice to deal with local folks that you can get to know and work with on a regular basis.
    Lee Lindsay, Steps to Hope, Columbus, NC

  • 8 years and zero interruptions to service

    It’s a rock solid service with near zero downtime. I’ve been with them 8 years now and have had zero interruptions to service. Highly recommend to any business wanting a professional connection.
    Tom Roberson, City Computer, Forest City, NC

  • Service and up-time has never been an issue

    I have been handling our small company’s daily IT chores for several years and recently took over management of our accounts. I have to say that the name PANGAEA doesn’t come up at all in my daily tasks, thankfully. The service and up-time provided has never been an issue that affected our normal daily operations. That is very important with all of the cloud based accounts that we utilize now.
    Chris Spratt, Diamondback Tactical, Spindale, NC

  • The speed and reliability rival any other options

    We have been using PANGAEA at our office since 2011 and consider it an important tool. The speed & reliability rival any other options. Thanks for being in our community.

    The switch over from AT&T to PANGAEA was quite simple. Their workers made the transition of service seamless. I was most impressed that we had no down time and have had no problems with the service. The internet speed is wonderful!!
    Faye Hassell, United Way of Rutherford County, Inc., Spindale, NC

  • Dependability and connectivity are crucial; PANGAEA is exactly what we were looking for

    At the Chamber, we frequently get positive comments on our fast internet speed when we host meetings and seminars. It is a great service to offer visitors to our facility.

This is a “must” in attracting new members, and helping the Chamber continue to be a viable organization that benefits businesses in the community.
    Janet Sciacca, Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce, Tryon, NC

  • We have never had internet downtime; I would recommend PANGAEA

    PANGAEA is an excellent internet provider. We have never had any internet downtime since we joined their service. They also plan to increase their already fast speeds without any additional cost to us, which I think is an excellent bonus. I would recommend PANGAEA to any business or individual seeking fast and reliable internet service.

  • A reliable network is key to my business

    A reliable network is key to my business. Without PANGAEA I would be stuck with those “Other guys” that go down once or twice a month. An internet outage costs me money. The few times PANGAEA did have an outage over the past 7 years (I can count them on one hand) the service was restored quickly due to the staff working day and night to get it up and running again.

  • Being able to offer fiber optic internet to potential tenants has swayed the decision for several interested businesses

And as always, Stu has been a great resource and a great partner for the Ag Center.

  • Locations in Tryon and Forest City operate much more efficiently

    We are extremely pleased with the service provided by PANGAEA. During our office remodel, we had to vacate our current building and utilize a temporary location. Ron was very accommodating in getting both of our buildings up and running with the fiber connection. We have had very few problems and with the speed of the connection; both our Tryon and Forest City locations are able to operate much more efficiently.

  • No speed difference at peak times, costs reduced by over half

    Wow! Connecting to the fiber optic network has made so much difference. We tried cable and DSL and I really could not tell any difference between the two After connecting to PANGEA, our VOIP has performed flawlessly and the speed is amazing. I can send and receive files without any concern for having to wait. Even at peak times, I experience no difference in speeds. But probably the best thing is the cost savings! My communications costs have been reduced by over 50% and my staff can finally work remotely and be just as effective as they are being in one of our offices. Having this bandwidth is helping me to transform my business!
