Good internet out where the pavement ends
Cable never came down your road and satellite let you down. Here are plain answers about getting online in the country, from Robert and Summer Lemoine, the Louisiana family behind Backroads WiFi.
If your phone works there, internet can too
Cellular home internet runs on the same nationwide cell networks your phone uses. A steady phone signal at your place is the best sign it will work.
No dish, no installer
The router plugs into the wall. Nobody climbs on the roof or drills holes in your house.
No contract, no credit check
Backroads WiFi service is prepaid month to month, with no credit check and no early termination fee.
Real people in Farmerville
Call or text and you get Robert or Summer, not a call center.
