Wirefly is a Titonian Internet service provider (ISP), founded in 2013 by president Judy Sheindlin in Titonovia, Titonüi, and is the country's only ISP.

History

In 2013, as a response to the rising internet costs, Judy Sheindlin forced all of the ISP's in Titonüi to merge together, and thus founded the company Wirefly. It is the country's only ISP, as of 2019. Using their services are completely free of charge, but the users are limited to a 25 megabit per second connection. It is possible to upgrade the connection to 250 megabits per second, but will cost each user 102 TTW ($10) per month, per device.

By the end of 2014, Judy Sheindlin announced that they would be expanding the public wireless network connections to be available outside of major cities. This process began after the year-shift, and the main priority was to get the free wireless internet connection available to everyone. As of 2019, the entire country currently has public wireless networks located throughout it, ensuring that everyone can always be on the internet wherever they are, but only roughly 90% of the wireless networks support the 250 megabit per second connection.

In April of 2018, Judy Sheindlin announced their plans of increasing the general internet speed by at least 50%, but that this process would take a few months. The project is estimated to end in March 2019.

During early November 2018, Wirefly connections were shut off to the land of Menaphos. Wirefly connections were available in Menaphos prior to this, since the territory was Titonian before being stolen.

The headquarters are located in Titonovia, Titonüi.

Reputation

In 2013, when the company was founded, Judy Sheindlin was met with praise. However, the first few months of the company were proven to be hard, as an approximate 4,500,000 households did not have the required equipment to receive any internet connection. This led to many households living without internet over the first 6 months. Consolations were sent out to all affected households, in the form of mobile broadband dongles capable of receiving a 250 megabit per second connection. These dongles stopped working in the middle of 2014.

The company is also known for having quite unstable connections in certain cities, along with having random, unannounced outages.
