The Turning Point
Following the third power outage in Wildwood, NJ during the summer of 2023, a significant shift in the community’s approach to internet connectivity emerged. With Comcast services repeatedly disrupted due to power failures, frustration among business owners and residents peaked.
The Rise of ISPTek
ISPTek, known for its resilience to power outages, saw a dramatic increase in interest. Businesses, heavily reliant on consistent internet for transactions and operations, found a reliable alternative in ISPTek.
Key Consumer Shifts
- Resilient Homeowners: Individuals with solar-powered backups or generators, who maintained power but lost internet, turned to ISPTek for uninterrupted connectivity.
- Remote Monitoring Needs: Homeowners, unable to access their smart home devices and security cameras due to Comcast’s outages, found a solution in ISPTek’s stable service.
- Security During Power Loss: The realization that security devices like Ring cameras require constant internet connection catalyzed a switch to ISPTek. Our battery-powered 5G routers ensured continuous surveillance.
Static IPs: A New Demand
The post-outage period also saw a growing demand for static IPs over cellular connections, a feature that ISPTek offers to both businesses and individual consumers, adding to its appeal.
Conclusion
The repeated power outages in Wildwood have underscored the importance of reliable internet connectivity. ISPTek’s rise in popularity reflects a community adapting to its challenges, seeking solutions that provide stability and security in uncertain times.
