Internet is rural WiFi off a tower on mountain behind house. Was dealing with land line as old or older than yours. Companies don't want to maintain or upgrade old lines. Ours would crap out every time it rained. Now just the internet getz wonky. Cell phones generally are more reliable. They are on Verizon wireless.
