1st place: Ryan (Edwardsburg, mi)

Ryan's MEC Fiber Internet Story

Since MEC fiber internet became our home's digital lifeline, our lives have transformed in the most heartwarming ways. Picture this: our living room now resonates with the melodies of family sing-alongs, lit up by the soft glow of smart lights controlled by our Google Home. The laughter and tears of joy are all thanks to seamless FaceTime calls with distant relatives, making our home feel like a global family hub.

Our little one, now three, has leaped into learning with educational YouTube content, counting numbers and reading words with newfound enthusiasm. Meanwhile, my bond with my brothers has reached new dimensions through virtual reality adventures, a luxury only possible with MEC's lightning-fast connection.

But it's not just about fun and games. Our home has become smarter and safer with a Google Nest thermostat enhancing our energy efficiency, and smart security devices along with a Ring doorbell ensuring our peace of mind, whether we're home or away.

This is more than just internet; it's the thread that weaves together our daily joys, learning, and security. MEC fiber isn't just a service; it's a member of our family now.

Prize: Roomba Combo® 10 Max Robot

2nd place: carrie (Three Rivers, mi)

Carrie's MEC Fiber Internet Story

Before MEC fiber, reliable and affordable internet felt like an impossible dream. Over the years, we struggled with every option available—HughesNet, Starlink, you name it—and none could meet our needs. When Midwest Energy became available, it was a game changer.

Not only do we now have a fast and stable connection, but it also powers nearly every aspect of our lives. Our home security system runs seamlessly, giving us peace of mind. My Peloton workouts are uninterrupted, something I couldn’t imagine before. And believe it or not, our phone service is so poor in our area that we rely on Midwest Energy for Wi-Fi calling.

Even more importantly, it supports my son, who is a competitive bass fisherman. We use our Wi-Fi to update the graphs and software on our bass boat, ensuring he has the most accurate tools when he’s on the water.

To say that Midwest Energy has improved our lives is an understatement. It has truly transformed the way we connect, work, and live. We can’t imagine life without it!

Prize: XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro Outdoor Projector

30K contest second place winner

3rd place: Steve (white pigeon, mi)

Steve's MEC Fiber Internet Story

We got MEC fiber in 2019 and we were amazed at the speed and the number of devices that our internet could support, compared to our previous internet.

When our daughter and our son-in-law are working from home, they can now come visit us and we can spend time with our grandchildren. They are always on their devices and were all very impressed with the speed. Their internet service is very bad and only one person can use it at a time, so now this is another perk for coming down to the grandparents' house.

During COVID, you increased it to 100 GB at just the right time. Our daughter's family lived with us during COVID and they could all work from home, and the granddaughters didn't have to wait until their parents were off work to do their homework.

Prize: Amazon Fire Max 11 Tablet w/ Keyboard Case and Stylus Pen
