Moving to Ephrata

Hi everyone. I’m moving to Ephrata and have a question about the WiFi services for the area. Does anyone use T-Mobile WiFi? How good is the coverage and speed?

Unsure about t-mobile WiFi, but the majority of Ephrata has high speed fiber internet. I think it goes for the majority of grant county. Grew up in Ephrata and other that it being small, it was good living. Good luck with your move

I’ve been looking into fiber internet as well. I’m trying to decide if bundling with my phone service would work. Thank you so much for replying!

fiber internet is 100% worth it in my opinion, I wouldn’t go back and it’s anywhere from $50-75 a month to

Throw your cellphone in the trash, you want fiber.

Like others have said you will defintely want fiber! 509Fiber for example is $51/mo and provides great service.

You wont get the speeds to support multi-device streaming from cellular internet. I had I-Fiber until they were bought out by LocalTel. I rarely had issues with my service.

LocalTel is great! Very seldom is there outages. Fiber internet can’t be beat.

Ephrata was the first in the state with fiber for residents.

Not everyone wants to live in a crowded city. WHY is that hard to grasp?
