Wavelinc provides free public WIFI to the 2010 Crawford County Fair. Folks that visited the 2010 Crawford County fair were able to stay connected this year thanks to a generous donation by Wavelinc to install several WIFI hot spots around the fairgrounds in order to provide free unlimited usage to anyone that wished to log on. Wavelinc's owner Kurt Fankhauser reported that during the week of the fair the daily usage of the free WIFI was average of 100 users each day with several days topping off at over 150. Many people were thankful to be able to stay connected weather it was their ability to check email or update their Facebook accounts. "Anytime we can give back to the community we seize the opportunity," Kurt said. "We'd love to provide the service in the upcoming years as well since it appeared to be a huge success."

Some time around 2pm Friday afternoon, a contractor trenching hit our primariy copper pair that provides our internet backbone to us. Customers reported the outage and within 30 minutes we were back online having switched over to the backup. Howver duing this time service speeds may have been slower due to the backup line not having as mutch capacity as the primary. The main line was fully repaired by 9:30pm and service was switched back over to that with full speeds returning again. Thank you for your patience.

We just will be upgrading to a fiber optic line in the next month. This will enable WAVELINC an almost unlimited future-proof source of bandwidth. Also speed plans are going to be restructured and will be offering more speed and lower prices. Check back for updates as the transition happens.

Yet just another way Wavelinc is setting the benchmarks for the rest of the competition.
