Staying Connected at ATC

Reliable internet is essential for work, entertainment, and staying in touch with friends and family. Even though Adventure Trail Colony offers a peaceful rural setting, you won’t have to sacrifice your connection to the world — there are multiple high-quality internet options available here.

Verizon Hotspot – Simple and Reliable

One of the easiest options many residents choose is a Verizon hotspot. I know a customer who works from home, spending much of her day on video meetings, and she uses a Verizon hotspot without issue. She and her husband also stream video every night and report no problems. It’s portable, easy to set up, and provides a dependable connection.

Starlink – High-Speed Satellite Internet

I’ve personally used Starlink for my own connection here, and it has been excellent. Speeds are consistently high, and performance has been reliable for everything from remote work to streaming. As long as you have a clear view of the sky, Starlink delivers a fast and stable connection, making it a great choice for heavy internet users.

Fiber Optic Internet – The New Gold Standard

The local internet provider, Windstream, has just installed high-speed fiber optic cable throughout Adventure Trail. Service is expected to go live in September 2025, and I’m writing this on August 15, 2025 — so it’s right around the corner. Fiber offers extremely fast, stable connections ideal for any online activity. Once it’s available, I’m planning to switch from Starlink to fiber.

Choosing the Right Option for You

Each option has its own advantages:

• Verizon hotspot: Portable, simple, and works well for moderate usage.

• Starlink: Proven high-speed satellite internet for consistent performance.

• Fiber optic: Maximum speed and stability for demanding users.

Your choice will depend on your priorities — whether that’s portability, speed, data limits, or cost.

Rural Living Without Sacrificing Connectivity

Adventure Trail Colony offers the best of both worlds: the tranquility of lakeside rural living and the internet speeds you need for modern life. With multiple reliable options, you can work, stream, and stay connected without compromise.
