Welcome To:
MountainMesh, CarveAcre WiFi and Alpine WiFi
East County's Premier Wireless Internet Service
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide affordable and reliable
high-speed Wireless Internet service to numerous areas of East County.
How It Works:
We have strategically positioned WiFi radios
throughout the desired coverage area that “talk” to one
another as well as your computer, forming a wireless
network and is the same technology used by
hotspot locations such as at Starbucks.
What People Are Saying:
Mike...I wanted to get back to you on the recent installation of your Internet service. First of all, thanks for not over promising and under performing. You said it would be fast and it is. Honestly, after all the disappointments I have had with "another" company's promises of speed, I really wasn't expecting it to be this good. I was so ready to be done with Hughes Satellite Internet service but had no other choices. Then you came by and all that has changed. My whole family is ecstatic about the speed of moving through the Internet. I would highly recommend your service to any one. Thanks again, Mike!
Sincerely, Gary B. in Carveacre
How fantastic to have real high speed. I have been using a satellite internet connection for the last 3 years and although it is faster than dial up there were still things I would wait to do on the computer and internet until I was at families house with Cox or Roadrunner. Not anymore. My banking connection and secure site connections are so fast that all my business can now be done at home. I can also watch internet video stream with very little to no delay. Something satellite or phone connection virtually never does. I am very pleased with the speed of my connection, it really is making things much easier.

Equipment Costs:
We'll need to install special equipment at your home at a cost of $260, including labor, that
connects to our radios, providing you internet access. You must provide your own in-home
router to connect multiple computers or we can provide and program one for you at a
cost of $99.95.
Some installations may be slightly higher due to length of wiring required
etc. and can only be determined during our FREE in-home signal level check. Attic and crawl space work is not part of our standard installation and price will be quoted before work begins.
Internet Plans:
We have several plans to select from to meet your specific
needs. All plans are for 12 months with our 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
described below, and then continue month-to-month thereafter.

Provider Comparison Chart:
Below is a comparision of the main internet providers in the East County area. I have compiled all the pertainent information so you can make an informed decision.
A few important things to point out:
1) MountainMesh is not affected by weather, so no sweeping the snow off of a dish to re-establish service; and rain, fog and heavy clouds will not affect service either.
2) MountainMesh does not use a dish, which often are blown out of alignment and require a service tech to fix at your expense. We use a very small device that is 10"x4"x1" and mounts under an eve whenever possible so realigment is never an issue, plus it is not an eyesore like a hugh dish.
3) MountainMesh tech support is right here in Descanso, so no long waits or difficult language barriers to overcome to resolve any issues.
4) MountainMesh receives it's internet from Alpine's fiber provider so there is no latency like on satellite services. This results in quicker page loads for downloading of videos, music and general web browsing. (Latency is the extended time it takes for a web request to reach the orbiting satellite and come back down to earth.)
5) If you need to work from home you can VPN into your office in town as well as call friends via a VOIP service, like Skype, because MountainMesh doesn't have latency issues. You cannot do this with a satellite service.
6) MountainMesh also works well with cell extenders. If you currently have poor cell service at your location you can purchase a cell extender which uses MountainMesh to provide cell calls. DO NOT cancel your landline as 911 does not work on our system.
7) 60% of my new business is replacing satellite service for unhappy homeowners. As always, you get what you pay for.
