Out here, the internet was always somebody else's afterthought.

Cable companies stopped at the city limits. Cellular carriers pointed their towers at freeways. Satellite operators built for "anywhere with sky" because they couldn't build for anywhere specific.

Softcom was built for rural Central Valley. Not adapted. Not stretched. Engineered for the place where we actually live.

What that means in practice:

Zoom calls that hold up when the whole house is online. Security cameras that actually stream to the cloud. Working from your kitchen table, your barn office, or your patio. A support team that lives minutes from your front door.

34 years here. Local towers. Local HQ. Local phones answered by local people.

If you want internet that was designed for where you live, give us a call. Or stop by.

Ripken Ave, Galt. Freedom GIG install. 1,082 Mbps down, 221 Mbps up.

Here's a claim worth checking: no other rural provider in our coverage area can deliver these speeds. Not Starlink. Not T-Mobile Home Internet. Not Verizon 5G Home. Not AT&T. Frontier has fiber, but it stops at the edge of Wilton's urban pocket. Two miles down any road from there and the gig options collapse.

That's not marketing. That's the architecture of rural internet right now.

Softcom is the only provider engineered for rural homes in our coverage area that can deliver 1 Gig down with 200+ Mbps up. The towers are here. The HQ is here. The dollars you spend stay local, fund local jobs, and pay local taxes. The support team picks up the phone in Galt or you can walk in and chat in person.

If you want the speeds in the image at your address, there's one way to get them. Give us a call. Or stop by.

Customer win-back this morning. N Sowles Rd in Acampo.

This household was a Softcom customer. They left us for Verizon Home Internet. They came back this week and signed up for Freedom GIG.

First wired speed test on the new line: 916 Mbps down, 215 Mbps up. Real numbers, real install, real upload pipe.

The upload is what brought them back. Verizon Home Internet typically delivers 5-30 Mbps upload depending on tower load. Freedom GIG is delivering 215. That's the gap between "my Zoom call froze again" and "two people on video calls and a kid uploading homework, no problem."

The cellular home internet pitch sounds great on the brochure. The evening reality is something else. We're glad to have them back on the network.

Out here, the providers actually delivering gig speeds are fiber, cable, and well-deployed fixed wireless. Starlink and 5G home internet aren't selling gig, they're selling something different. Starlink: a roof dish that promises "works anywhere there's sky." 5G home: a small box on your counter that promises half the price.

Here's what those mailers don't tell you: 5G home internet is leftover cell tower capacity, repackaged as a home internet product. When your neighbor's phone is busy, your home internet is whatever's left over. And Starlink in the Central Valley typically delivers around 172 Mbps down with 23 Mbps up, not the gig numbers a lot of people assume.

Nobody advertises upload speed either, which is the number that actually decides whether your Zoom call holds up at 7pm. A "1,200 Mbps" plan with 35 Mbps upload feels slower than a 200 Mbps plan with 100 Mbps upload the moment two people are on video calls.

Just published a full breakdown on the blog if you want the honest version: fiber vs coax vs wireless, what the brochures hide, and what to actually look for at your address.

Another Acampo customer just felt the difference.

N. Graham Rd upgraded to Freedom GIG and pulled 1,100 Mbps down with 254 Mbps up. That's not city fiber. That's a local Acampo tower delivering Gig speeds up to 8 miles out across vineyards and farmland.

Cellular and satellite networks share bandwidth across whoever's online, and phones get priority over home internet customers. Softcom's Freedom GIG runs on fixed wireless from a local Acampo tower built and managed for home internet first, which means your speed at 7 PM matches your speed at 7 AM.

Know a neighbor still stuck buffering? Tag them. We'll check their address.

Another Galt customer just made the jump. Here's what happened.

A Harvey Rd customer upgraded to Freedom GIG and their speed test came back at 1,055 Mbps down and 202 Mbps up. That upload speed is 10x faster than what Starlink, T-Mobile Home Internet, or Verizon 5G Home typically deliver on a good day, and dramatically better than what any of them hold up during evening peak hours.

Here's why that matters. When you're on a cellular carrier's home internet product, you're sharing tower bandwidth with every phone in the area. Phones get priority. Your connection gets whatever's left. Works fine at 2 AM. Falls apart at 7 PM when the whole neighborhood comes home.

Softcom's Freedom GIG runs on dedicated fixed wireless from a local tower (in this case, our NOC tower right here in Galt) with a fiber backbone behind it. No sharing with phones. No deprioritization. No evening slowdown.

Stuck with Starlink, T-Mobile, or Verizon and tired of the 7 PM crawl? Give us a call. We'll check your address and see if we can get you on Freedom GIG too.

We upgraded the Acampo tower. Your plan hasn't caught up yet.

If you're a Softcom customer on Freedom 25, Freedom 50, or Freedom 100, your connection can do a lot more than what you're getting right now. We've upgraded infrastructure on our Acampo tower that supports speeds up to 1 Gig download and 200 Mbps upload. If you're in Acampo, Galt, Herald, or Lodi, this tower likely serves your home.

That 200 Mbps upload is worth paying attention to. It's what makes video calls run without freezing, cloud backups happen in the background without slowing anything down, and working from home actually feel like working from home. No cellular internet provider in this area can touch that number.

Give us a call and ask about Freedom 200, Freedom 400, or Freedom GIG. We'll help you figure out what makes sense for your household.

04/05/2026

A Clements customer on Jahant Rd just went from Freedom 25 to Freedom GIG.

That's 25 Mbps to 1,063 Mbps down and 209 Mbps up. On fixed wireless. From a local tower. Not a satellite, not a cell network.

To put that in perspective, this customer was getting roughly the same download speed that T-Mobile and Verizon home internet customers get during peak evening hours, when everyone in the neighborhood is competing for the same cell tower bandwidth. The difference is those customers are paying for "5G" and being told that's the best they can get.

1,063 Mbps down. 209 Mbps up. No data caps. No deprioritization. No sharing bandwidth with every phone on the tower.

If you're in Clements, Lodi, Acampo, or Galt and you've been assuming satellite or cellular is your only option, it might be worth a conversation.

I think a lot of folks out here in rural areas have just gotten used to bad internet service because there weren't many options. So when the bill creeps up or the speeds drop in the evening, we just shrug and deal with it. But you shouldn't have to. The price on your agreement should stay the price on your bill. And when you call with a problem, a real person should pick up. That's not special treatment, that's just doing business the right way.

Ever actually tried to read your internet provider's privacy policy? If it feels like it was written specifically so you wouldn't understand it, that's not an accident. A good provider will tell you plainly what they collect and what they do with it. If yours can't do that, it might be time to ask why.

Quick way to check if your internet provider is being straight with you: pull up your very first bill and compare it to this month's. If the number changed and nobody told you why, that's worth a phone call. And if you can't get a real person on that phone call? Well, that's your answer right there.
