Testimonials

My situation involved Spectrum (for TV) and Silicon Travel (for internet) at a beach house summer rental. After many
phone calls to Spectrum and several trips to their local store, nothing was working. As a last resort, I called Silicon Travel and talked to Mickey about the problems. He was very polite and made me feel that my problem and happiness were important. Mickey called Spectrum on my behalf and resolved the problem. I appreciate Mickey greatly!

We have a home in Duck, NC, rented the house for nearly 40 years, now just our own use. Silicon Travel has provided us our internet and in recent years, TV service, over most of those years. They have alway been prompt to answer calls re connectivity, signal strength, sign on, etc, by both ourselves as owners and our renters. They are very good about having a tech come to the house in a relatively short period of time to address issues that could not be solved by phone. They are excellent at communication in clear, easy to understand terms. They solved issues re signal strength with appropriate extenders, and solved hard-line phone problems, as we also had phone service until we went totally cell phone recently. They continue to provide outstanding support service, and we recommend them highly for these various services.

I cannot say enough good things to match the level of customer service we have received from the entire Hatteras Island Silicon Travel staff! If our house hadn’t fallen into the ocean, we would still be a very happy customer! During the 5 years we were lucky enough to be a customer of Silicon Travel, they helped us set up TV & Internet equipment at a moment’s notice; they were always on time; they always returned our calls; they played “middle man” when it came time to receiving telephone support with Spectrum – which meant WE didn’t have to navigate the time-consuming maze of telephone prompts and sitting on hold for hours; they were known to arrive for outside repairs at 10 pm with a hard hat that had a built-in halo of lights to climb the pole; and the staff was small enough that it was always a familiar person who answered the phone! In a nutshell, Silicon Travel worked above and beyond all expectations to provide consistent and excellent service all while fighting the conditions of the sea on our oceanfront home! (Wind, sand, high tide, salty air, and most demanding of all… renters). If you have read this far and are on the fence as to whether or not to choose Silicon Travel, consider this your PUSH to make the call!

Thanks again, staff! It was a great 5 years.

We own four houses: our main home located near Hartford, CT; two houses that are in a vacation rental program on the Outer Banks in NC; and our vacation cabin in Maine where we spend our summers. That’s a lot of houses which means a lot of paperwork and always plenty of hassles, but the OBX houses are our investments. 

However, your company has definitely lightened my load. Silicon Travel is by far the best company I have dealt with. For starters, having one bill that covers the entire year makes it so easy. Plus, you are one of the few companies that did not raise your price in the past year. 

Also, when I have had to call, I have never had to listen to a robot about countless options, and I do not have to wait a long time to have my call answered. Then speaking with a representative about billing, or a technician, this person has always been extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. As I am technology-challenged, they have been very patient with me as well. 

And I can’t say enough about the technicians who have come out to both of our beach houses. They were totally friendly and went above and beyond with their help in setting up our Internet.  

Congratulations on a great company! 

Hello!
I currently have service with Silicon.
I have lived in Dare County since the 70’S.
I have had service with many different businesses over the years ..cable/wifi/satellite tv/etc..
I am very pleased with the service Silicon is currently providing and happy to recommend your company to anyone interested!
Also, as a business owner..I sincerely appreciate when a client gives me their input however they feel I can improve my business!
The reason I am reaching out to you is to highly compliment “Mickey “.
I had the pleasure of calling the 800 number and now have spoken with him several times.
He is polite, patient, and most importantly, efficient! Most recently, April 9,2024… he solved my service issue with ease!
Also…. There were 2 service technicians that installed the service initially.. l met them at cottage and they offered the same type of service!
Thank you!

Just wanted to let you know Anthony S. stopped by the cottage today and switched out the router. Definitely made a difference throughout the cottage. Just wanted to compliment Anthony. He did a great job and wanted to be sure everything was improved and acceptable. Great Job!!

I worked with Alex on 7/8. And he was absolutely phenomenal. As an IT manager myself I can tell he is a great support agent. He was prompt in fixing my issue and even called me back immediately when the call dropped.

He solved a problem that could have been a big issue on our vacation and he deserves a commendation!

Philip left our unit after explaining the problem sources, identifying our options, and getting things up and running again.

What took us soooooooooooooooo long? Darn. Finally cut the cable wire to all 5 cable boxes and TVs! Best call ever and bringing Silicon Travel on board. Excellent customer service, excellent, greeted warmly and friendly as a customer should. ST Technician, excellent, knows his skills, and made it happen. Worth buying the new Smart TVs with the local channel service too.

Thank you Silicone Travel, now from the beach house to our home house in Maryland!!

I have Silicon Travel at my rental cottage in Nags Head, NC. The service is excellent and the response time when there is a problem is excellent!!!!

Great company to deal with. Great internet service, and television streaming service.

Simply the best customer service! They show up when they are supposed to, are professional, and fix the issue quickly! I would not have internet in a vacation home without them!!!

We have had Silicon Travel service since Sept 2020. We started with Speedmax internet and phone. We also had Spectrum for cable service. In 2022 we changed to Speedmax Streaming = Speedmax Internet with streaming TV. Our Spectrum bill is now Zero. With this service, we save a ton, have plenty of channels, and have good internet. The equipment and service works well with few cutouts in over 2.25 years. When we needed technical or billing questions answered they were quick to respond.

I have had service with ST for years at our NC OBX house. They are consistently helpful and professional, they don’t send me a million emails, they answer the phone with a live person when I need help, and when needed they have come to the house and worked on the equipment to improve service as needed. I am not particularly well versed with computers, so their help has been quite useful.

When the comprehensive service including streaming and web became available, I signed up immediately. I am very happy to be rid of the previous providers and dish antenna. Having everything come through ST has made service much better and simpler. It also now costs us less. Well done, all around.

We just purchased a house in Avon and were fretting about the lack of wifi, as we prepared to receive our 1st renter.

Jonathan showed up right on time and got our Spectrum modem set up and got the wifi working so that our renters would have tv, wifi, and internet access. He was EXCELLENT, professional, friendly, and thorough.

Looking forward to building a relationship with Silicon Travel! Jonathan presented himself as the perfect face for your company.

Thank you Jonathan for saving the day!

Today, Charlie stopped by to provide support for the Internet service at Hatteras Realty #6-2 Fergason. He was friendly and was happy to explain what steps he was taking to correct the issue. Once it was fixed, he took the time to confirm that we could connect with our devices and took a couple of minutes to get a smart TV connected to allow us to stream movies/TV since the cable service is out. We really appreciate the service provided, the attention to detail, and taking a few minutes to go above and beyond expectations. Many thanks!

I can’t say enough great things about Silicon Travel. Mike and his team over there have exceeded any expectations I ever had…
They gave us amazing customer service for our guests anytime they have a WiFi issue…They implemented everything so my team didn’t have to worry about anything. They trained our staff on how the systems worked. I would be so far gone without them and what they have been able to do for us. I highly, highly, highly recommend you talk to them and you get someone answering your phone calls for WiFi issues…

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your team for getting my internet up and running this morning. I would like to especially thank Phillip and Finn for their patience and persistence to diagnose and remedy all the issues that popped up during what should have been an easy modem swap. Phillip and Finn could not have been more professional, but what stood out most was how personable they were. They explained each step along the way and when they identified that the line was experiencing some signal degradation, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up in the best possible configuration. Each step along the way, Phillip was sincerely apologizing for the time it was taking… when all I could do is feel awful that their first stop of the day at my house ended up being a giant headache. They could have easily just swapped the modem, passed on the problem to someone else, and moved on to their next job… but they spent time opening up wall outlets and testing all the coax lines to see what might be causing the problem. I also noted that Phillip made detailed written comments on the account, to ensure that any future issues might be diagnosed more easily with what he learned while working throughout the house. And when it seemed like they were done, Phillip realized that the Spectrum rep had missed one key step and I wasn’t getting the download speeds I should be. He called them back, spending more time on the phone, before it he was able to test the download speeds and leave satisfied.

In any event, please know that I have always appreciated the service that Silicon Travel has provided and today was just another reason why your customer service is head and shoulders above anyone else. Phillip and Finn should be commended for their dedication, professionalism, and work ethic. And thank you for scheduling this service so painlessly and efficiently. Please pass along my comments to your team leaders so that you can all be recognized for your efforts.

I was having some trouble getting Wifi connectivity for all of my devices; talked to Jonathan at Silicon and He was very helpful and patient with me in getting the help I needed. Highly Recommended!!

I am writing to commend your employee, Philip. We have had Silicon Travel in our Avon home for 10 years now. Our home is CelticGale, 39311 Angelfish Rd, Avon.

Philip has been to our home multiple times for various reasons, including today. He is extremely knowledgeable in his IT knowledge and is very kind and friendly. He has always solved our problems, in the most kind and patient way.

You have a wonderful person working for you and I just wanted to reinforce that.

Thank you!

I have had service with you guys since I bought my house in 2011, and no complaints. And now I’ve gotten rid of cable and satellite- I have streaming TV only. Evidently a lot of other owners are doing the same thing. Count me as a happy customer of yours.

On Sunday May 19, 2019 we suddenly had no internet. Four ladies on a vacation with no internet, is not good! I called and the man over the phone tried, but couldn’t fix the problem. He said a tech would be out later in the day or the following day.
Well he came later that Sunday afternoon, his name is Ryan.
Ryan had the problem fixed in minutes!!!! He was so nice, friendly and excellent at his job. Ever a problem again I am calling for Ryan.

Your customer support is amazing! Can’t thank you enough for your quick and actionable support…fantastic!

Great service bar none. Been using them for years.

Wanted to take a moment to thank the great people at Silicon!!! Philip and Tim to name two of the folks that have helped me with my router in the past. Silicon Travel provides excellent service and their tech support is outstanding!!!!

Michael Melson did a great job getting our cottage back on WiFi. He made 2 trips to make sure everything was working okay.
Michael was professional, friendly and really knows his stuff. Silicon Travel should be proud to have him as an employee.

Phil came to our cottage to make the required equipment changes due to the switch to CenturyLink. We always felt that the internet service was slow & Phil discovered that it was operating way below capacity. He went through the house until he found the location that would allow for maximum internet speed. He installed the new equipment and greatly improved the efficiency of the system. Phil was very friendly while he was here. He very easily could have quickly installed the new equipment in the same location as the old equipment, leaving us with subpar service, but he was very dedicated to providing us with the best service possible and took the time required to do just that.

Thank you very much, and Happy New Year!

The guests from Hoagland House BC023 just called us to say Thank you for sending Dillon the other day. They say he got them all fixed up so they could use the internet. These guests are in for 2 weeks & just wanted to mention how great he was. Please pass on to Dillon that we appreciate him making a GREAT 1st impression & to keep up the Great work! Just passing along the KUDOS. Thank you for all y’all do!

Silicon Travel has been a fantastic solution to internet services in our rental home in Avon, NC. When we were opening the cottage in April, the Internet was not working. I noticed a Silicon Travel car at the house next door. I ran over and found the technician and told him about the problem with our service. After he was finished with the house next door, he came to our house and solved our problem. So great!! He didn’t tell us we had to schedule an appointment and he would be back next week! Best of all, he fixed our problem and moved our modem to a better location!

This company and its staff are fantastic! Best service I’ve ever received from ANY company. Have had a few (very few) issues – and Silicon Travel was able to resolve them quickly. Highly recommend it to all.

Our house was struck by lightning, frying both the modem and router supplied by Silicon Travel. By the next day, our wi-fi was up and running again, thanks to the quick response from the technicians at Silicon Travel. In addition, their professional and friendly customer service over the phone was great. Exceptional service from a first-rate company.

Absolute dependability. Always available with that extra help as needed, whether by phone or in person.

I would like to echo the sentiments expressed in these reviews. Phil installed our system in Avon last year and while I was impressed with his first visit, I was even more impressed with his return visit a few months ago when we had a problem during a home remodeling. Unless we have an island-wide issue with internet service or transportation from further north, I am extremely confident that Silicon Travel can correct problems in a timely way and provide the best product available to us. Well done, and thanks!

I have liked your service from the beginning and all your Tech’s on the Outer Banks are very professional. Your Staff in Cumberland, Md are also most helpful and professional. I only wish you were serving Charlottesville Va.

We are the owners of Studio 54 in Frisco and want to highly compliment Phil, the technician who came out today to repair a seriously awry connection. He was very patient, explained everything thoroughly, went far beyond the call of duty, switched out a bunch of equipment, and made sure everything was working – even helping my wife download an updated driver on her computer – and in addition was friendly, polite, efficient, intelligent and very well-versed in his field. He has a great attitude toward work and life (we got a chance to talk a bit) and is a huge asset to your company. It’s not often that we get such a positive vibe from a service person, but he obviously knew what he was doing and made everything work great. It was a complex problem, but he got it resolved in good time.
We’ve never met Phil before, nor did he ask for a rave review; he just impressed us that much and deserves to be recognized. If I were his boss, I’d wish I could clone him. He’s truly top-shelf.

Thanks,
Paul Payton and Bette Schultz
