Lake Country Airways Internet in Lindale Texas

April 16th, 2010

Lake Country Airways offers a great service for rural broadband internet for Mineola, Lindale, Grand Saline and maybe other places in this area. If you are outside the cable link area and can’t get DSL then this really is an option for you.  It is better than satellite (which we found, is expensive and not reliable in different weather conditions) and of course, it is MUCH better than dial up.

The key thing to be eligible for internet access with Lake Country Airways is your physical location. You must have line of sight to one of their towers. If you live on a hill, then you are probably fine – otherwise you will need to have access to an internet tower high enough to reach over the trees and hills. If you are not sure, they can check this for you. We did not have line of sight at our home and had to pay for them to build us a 40 foot metal tower in our backyard. It is visible but not unsightly. I was impressed at their speed and skill in getting the tower up and a little nervous watching them merrily climb up and down the tower to set us up with internet!

Lake Country Airways requires no monthly contract. The set up costs are around $300. Different internet speeds are available depending on what you want to pay. We have 1Mbps which usually costs $50 a month and is plenty fast enough for family internet use – including Skype and downloading large files like TV programs from the internet.

We have had internet service from LCA for nearly two years and have found it very reliable. The speed is consistently fast which is refreshing after our previous experience of enduring satellite connection up and downs. Since our original set up, we have had no issues that required a visit, but when we have called them on the phone their customer service seems to be efficient and polite.

Lake Country Airways is located in Mineola opposite Walmart and they can be contacted on 903 316 9586.
