What is there to do when you're trapped down in the Ozarks?…read more Super Wal-mart? Check. Imitation Waffle Houses? Check 10x as many beauty parlors as bars? Check. Internet? Luckily... check. Grandma and grandpa have had cable internet from IMS, aka SeMO.net for several years, making it a tad more palatable to spend a few days in the northern-most reaches of the bible belt. This year, I planned ahead. I brought my wireless router and two laptops from home (sorry, Grandpa, 64MB RAM doesn't cut it). Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, support had already closed on Christmas Eve... I had to spend a full 36 hours in the Ozarks without my interwebs. But this morning, I contacted Technical Support, and they hooked me up. And it turns out they hooked their regular customers up too: they've done away with PPPoE and all the other anachronistic network protocols they used to force upon their customers. So, as the only ISP in this neck of the woods and helpful tech support: 5 stars. But I've got to dock them for not having 24 hour tech support. Making me go without access to the outside world for 36 hours - now that's just wrong.

SEMO.Net is one of the worst ISP's i've ever dealt with. Their service is super unreliable, on…read moreclear days with little wind we will mysteriously lose our internet and it will sometimes be down for hours. I can honestly say that we have loss of signal at least 3 times a week. We have never received the internet speed that we pay for, when we run a speed test it's always well below what we have been promised, and their customer service is Mickey Mouse at best. We are currently looking for another ISP and as soon as we find one we're gone. If you are considering getting internet service in the Poplar Bluff area DO NOT use Semo.Net, you will get bad service, slow speeds, and customer service with an attitude, run the other way as fast as you can. You are better off with two tin cans with a string running between them than the sub standard service that Semo.Net has to offer. I give them one star tho they deserve less than that. WORST ISP EVER.

Passing through Poplar Bluff and discovered the city is actually listed on Yelp. It's listed as an…read moreInternet service provider but nonetheless, it's listed lol.. It's a small town but I can definitely see the economic boom taking place along the dirt roads and farmlands. It's ok for a quick stop; plenty of convenient stores, food joints and other little things to keep you occupied for a short period of time

There prices are ridiculous especially for the mediocre internet speed they provide if they didn't…read morehave a contract to be the only internet provider in my area they would go out of business so no wonder they pay the money to be the only ones out here they want no competition so the can screw all of there customers and on top of that I can't even put my router where I want to in my own house cause how ever they do it is so outdated

They also deleted their page that showed a calendar with their scheduled maintenance downtimes. While the speeds are still good and bandwidth still uncapped, sadly I would now classify them as an unreliable internet provider. I certainly would NOT ever consider using their internet or phone services for business purposes, as they can not even maintain their own phone system.

Their customer service is a joke. Their infrastructure is an even bigger joke. I have a 100 Mbps download speed, and it drops down to 1 Mbps constantly. When I moved into my residence, I chose them because of the rates. I have had a technician out to my residence 4 times just to handle faulty wires and connections leading from the pole to my home. I have had to replace my modem from them 2 times. As of the time writing this review, they claim to have upgraded the service. As of the time writing this review, I cannot even stream a movie or anything without interruption in the content being played. Stay away from this company.
