Grande’s presentation focused on our current G-Force High-Speed Internet products, Bolt!, additional Internet services and the areas where we offer services in Austin.  Here are the slides…

Even though we only had 3 or 4 customers among the whole audience (of around 50 members present) I am happy to say that our customers were extremely satisfied and gave great testimonials of their experience with Grande and in particular our Internet products.

Interestingly enough, during the whole evening, the most common question we were asked was “when are you going to be available in my neighborhood?”  The answer every time was “we don’t know yet, but as soon as we start building our network again, we will let you know” and we told them to go to our website serviceability tool and enter their address because we DO use that information to analyze where we build next.

After the presentations were over, Ryan Kyle (our Austin Sales Manager) and I had a fun time listening to anecdotes about customer service a few CapMac members had with the competition and again desiring us to start building as soon as possible.
