If you expect your electronic media (TV and internet) to be reliable, run as far from this place as you can. There are some good, helpful employees here, but the management is useless. They are good at making excuses and blaming their suppliers for all their problems, but resolving the problems in a timely manner, ha, that's a joke. If you want to be able to call the main number/front desk at this place while their internet service is out, forget it. No internet, no communication with the facility. You would think they would have some kind of method for communicating with their residents and their residents with them despite their internet service being down, but no, that's not the case. You just have to hope there are no situations arise in the three days they have no internet service in which you need to be able to reach them.
