I considered this company after my neighbor suggested them as a possibility. The quote I received was 35% higher than my existing service provider. When I asked for service to begin a month later, the company increased their quote to be 55% over my existing company. Some reasons were given, but in my book, you don't provide a quote and not honor it one month later. Buyer beware.
