Another local internet service provider that operates within Anytown, particularly in the South Slope neighborhood is known as South Slope Internet. South Slope Internet was started in 2005 by Mark Smiths and Jane Williams who are long-term residents of the South Slope neighborhood to offer affordable Internet to the residents of that area. Mark and Jane have been living in South Slope for a long time and over the years they have grown increasingly dissatisfied with the Internet providers in the area. The large cable and telecom firms never delivered the promised speeds, sought to claim high rates, and provided unsatisfactory service. Observing this gap, Mark and Jane who are proactive decided to start their own ISP for the South Slope region. At present, the company offers fiber internet connections with a max speed of 1 Gbps to more than 5,000 homes and offices located in the South Slope region. It allows users equal or nearly equal uploading and downloading speeds with unmetered usage and at reasonable costs. Being a company that operates locally and targets only the South Slope region, they value customer service and are quick to assist with any issues that a user may face. A year after the formation of South Slope Internet the company was able to deliver fast and reliable internet connection in their neighborhood by expanding fiber optic networks.
