Service Update – Fiber Internet

We are currently aware of an issue impacting some Mark Twain fiber customers that is causing intermittent service interruptions.

This issue appears to have begun Saturday afternoon and has progressively worsened. Our team opened a support ticket with Adtran on Sunday, and we are actively working with their engineers to identify and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Areas currently affected include:
Bethel, Brashear, Durham, Greentop, Knox City, Leonard, Newark, Novelty, Philadelphia, Steffenville, Williamstown, and Wyaconda.

All other Mark Twain wireless and fiber services are not affected by this issue.

We understand how important reliable internet service is and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is fully engaged and will continue working until service stability is restored.

We will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience.
Mark Twain

📶 Wi‑Fi 7: Faster, Smarter, Built for Today’s Devices
Wi‑Fi 7 is the newest generation of Wi‑Fi — built for speed, low lag, and smoother performance across your entire home. It uses three different frequency bands, and each one has a job to do:

2.4 GHz — Long Range
Great for smart plugs, doorbells, and older devices.
✔ Reaches far
✔ Works with everything
⚠ Slowest band

5 GHz — Everyday Speed
Perfect for streaming, gaming, and laptops.
✔ Fast
✔ Less interference
⚠ Shorter range

6 GHz — The Fast Lane
Made for the newest Wi‑Fi 6E/7 devices.
✔ Fastest speeds
✔ Lowest lag
✔ Clean, uncongested spectrum

⭐ And here’s the best part:
Mark Twain provides every customer with Wi‑Fi 6e/7 equipment at no additional charge — so you’re already set up to enjoy the full power of Wi‑Fi 6e/7.
