We have never experienced an outage

We have used PANGAEA for more than a year now. Our previous internet provider was continually having outages and connection problems. As a healthcare provider, we rely on connectivity 24/7. With PANGAEA we have never experienced an outage.
John Cilone, FairHaven Nursing Home, Bostic, NC

There are a lot of happy, happy PANGAEA people at White Oak

Our Nursing Facility had no internet connection because of our location. We tried for several months to a year and no one would help us with internet connection. Then we heard about PANGAEA. They not only provided us with an excellent service but they were excellent to work with in all ways. Our staff, residents, family members and community resources thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your willingness to help us without just shutting the door in our face. There are a lot of happy, happy PANGAEA people at White Oak.
Kally Dotson, White Oak of Rutherfordton, NC

Increased productivity, great service

We were using another internet service at the facility where we now have PANGAEA and our productivity has increased and our staff loves the speeds and reliability. As a person who answers IT Helpdesk calls, I can tell you the service is great.
Carole Finger, Heritage Healthcare, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

PANGAEA’s high speed allows our therapists more time with the patients

PANGAEA changed the way our therapists worked. High speed internet allows them more time with the patients and less time in front of a computer, which is a win for everyone.
Josh Scott, Heritage Healthcare, Inc., Rutherfordton, NC

Attentive to immediate needs

They have been attentive whenever I have called and needed immediate attention.
Gina Durand, Foothills Medical Associates, Columbus, NC

“I was never happy with cable or DSL…No problems with PANGAEA fiber”

Fiber has been the best thing I have added to my practice. All our patient records are accessed via the internet so speed is a must. I was never happy with cable or DSL. They always seemed to be too slow and would go down several times a day. No problems with PANGAEA fiber. It works great day after day and the cost is about the same.
Dr. Jeffery Viar, Foothills Medical Associates, Columbus, NC

No dropped service, so much faster!

Tuesday rolled around…time to see patients AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! No consistently dropped internet service, like Windstream! Internet service was so much faster! Wish we would have done this a long time ago! Your customer service was excellent. Looks like you guys are in the same business as us, “making people smile”… because we surely are smiling now with our great service! Melody Levi, Dr. Steve Edney Orthodontics, Columbus, NC

A simple phone call fixes an issue, even when it has nothing to do with PANGAEA’s equipment

The service is very reliable, and if I ever do have a connection problem a phone call quickly tells me whether it’s a network issue or something on my end. Even if it is an issue that has nothing to do with PANGAEA’s equipment, the staff is friendly and helps me to get back online.
Steve Burney, Medicap Pharmacy, Columbus, NC

Without your high speed, I would have had to move files on CDs

I LOVE the high speed. My office is in NC and I work in Florida. I download every day, huge files over the internet. I do it all wirelessly. Without your high speed, I would have had to move these files from NC to FL on CDs. Thanks, PANGAEA!
John Hugill, Medical Records Retrieval, Mill Spring, NC

I love PANGAEA! Fast, reliable internet

I love PANGAEA! The internet is fast! It is perfect for a busy office. When I am looking up information for a client or trying to make an order, it is great to have fast, reliable internet service. I hardly ever have a problem with losing service but, when I have PANGAEA has it fixed in no time. I never have to make an appointment, just to have a technician not show up. I wish PANGAEA was available at my home.
Betty Anne Foster, Tryon Therapeutic Massage, Tryon, NC

Service is proven to be dependable

PANGAEA Internet service has proven to be dependable. In our office we rarely have an issue with our connectivity that is not easily solved within minutes, right here within our building. I am pleased with what I hear from others in the community about PANGAEA as well!!
Dr. Jennifer Hughes, Serenity Chiropractic Center, PLLC, Rutherfordton, NC

This network has allowed our teachers and students the ability to reach a wealth of educational resources

Rutherford County Schools in partnership with Rutherford County Government and PANGAEA has leased a state-of-the-art fiber optic wide area network (WAN) including 10-gigabit connections to three middle schools and three high schools and 1-gigabit connections to ten elementary schools and three administrative sites. This network along with the upstream link from PANGAEA has allowed our teachers and students the ability to reach a wealth of educational resources that before were almost unusable due to lack of bandwidth and network capacity. It also allows the students in Rutherford County Schools to access the many resources and educational opportunities that many other affluent school districts have had in place for several years. Our students now can compete with the students in those areas and be better prepared for higher education and/or the world of work (global economy).

We couldn’t continue to be one of the highest performing school systems in the state without the reliability of this network

Polk County Schools has used PANGAEA for over 12 years to provide access to online resources for both our instructional and business operations. During this time, we have migrated many of our technology services to cloud based operations and the PANGAEA network has grown with us over the years. Since day one, they have supported our needs extremely well. The most recent addition to our network is a county-wide Voice Over IP phone system that will support about 300 phones. The PANGAEA network now carries all of the data and voice services to 8 separate schools in the county. We are very pleased with the service and value we receive from PANGAEA and we couldn’t continue to be one of the highest performing school systems in the state without the reliability of this network.
Dave Scherping – Polk County Schools

We have upgraded our middle and high schools to 10GB links with no issues

Stu and Ron at PANGAEA have been responsive to any fiber issues. Fiber cuts are handled quickly and with quick status updates; both voice and text. PANGAEA has also proactively replaced standard aerial fiber with armored fiber in places where damage could occur due to nature (squirrels). We have also upgraded our middle and high schools to 10GB links with no issues over PANGAEA fiber.
Michael Thompson, Rutherford County Schools

PANGAEA has made a significant impact on our school

Having a solid internet provider like PANGAEA has made a significant impact on our school system. The tools we use on a daily basis would not be nearly as effective without the fast and reliable internet connection that PANGAEA provides.
Brian Bridges, Rutherford County Schools

PANGAEA has always been a rock solid, reliable internet solution

PANGAEA has always been a rock solid, reliable internet solution for us. As our needs change, they willingly change with us. Great company with a great staff!
Bruce Yelton , Polk County Government

We’ve steadily expanded our relationship and have run fiber to additional town facilities

PANGAEA has been a great partner and broadband solution for the Town of Lake Lure. Our fiber optic connection has been fast and reliable and the staff at PANGAEA is always quick to respond to our requests. Since we first connected Town Hall, we’ve steadily expanded our relationship and have run fiber to additional town facilities. PANGAEA is now providing a free, public wi-fi network along our tourism corridor between Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village. It’s clear we have similar goals–to make high-speed internet a basic utility that is available to everyone.
Chris Braund, Town Manager, Lake Lure, NC
