Virtually flawless San Diego ISP


It has been a long time, almost a full year, since I have last written about Internet service providers (ISPs) in San Diego.

The main reason for this maybe that for us it has become a non-issue. Our ISP, Terracom Network Systems (TNS) continues to provide virtually perfect service. There are no busy signals, no lost connections & 24/7 tech-support.

The main reason I use the tech-support is that messages above a certain size, about 2.5MB, will not be automatically downloaded. When a large message arrives in the queue I am notified by TNS & it remains in the queue until I direct them to either download it or delete it. Sometimes companies will send an entire press kit or an entire software package, including pictures, via email. This can make for a very large message. TNS provides me with the sender, subject & size of the message so I can decide whether to delete or download. I am a very heavy user of email, about 80-100 messages a day, & TNS continues to provide faultless service.

We have seen many other ISPs increase their prices in the last few years while TNS has not raised the price of their excellent service. It remains $8.99 a month, billed annually. I can whole heartily recommend them as the best ISP we have ever used & that includes quite a few.

They are a local San Diego firm & can reached at (888)636-8400.
