When our service provider, RGV, upgraded our internet service from DSL to RANA fiber, we increased our internet speeds more than 500%, and our bill DECREASED each month. Everything at our company runs on broadband: internet, phones, company apps and cloud storage. Uptime is critical for us, and on RANA it has been excellent.
