I have lived in Algona for 25 years and have a problem with the CenturyLink phone company.

I get my computer hookup through them with a DirecTV package. They brag about eight gigabytes of whatever super power you get to help supply the DirecTV on demand and other key features to use. But I and others in Algona, Pacific and other backwood areas only get 1.5 gigabytes out here.

I’ve called them to find out when they will upgrade a link that’s maybe a couple miles longer than it is now. But they tell me they still don’t have enough demand to uplink this service to me.

I’ve been a customer a long time. I guess I should move to the big city of Auburn, so I will rate. They shouldn’t tell you one thing and not offer another. Maybe they think I can’t read like the rest of us poor, powerless people of Algona.

I’m just trying to find someone who might help us poor folk of Algona, Pacific and wherever their precious linkup ends.
