Acoustics for Autism is a free, all-day community concert in Uptown Maumee that raises money for Project iAM, a local nonprofit providing scholarships for therapy, equipment, and services for individuals with autism in Northwest Ohio.

In this episode, I talk with volunteer Scott Hayes about how the event works, what to expect, and why it matters to families — including many from Perrysburg who have supported and/or benefited from the fundraiser over the years.

We discuss the music lineup, sensory-friendly spaces, parking and shuttle options, silent auctions, fundraising efforts, and volunteer opportunities — including the need for cleanup volunteers at the end of the night.

We're talking about internet providers in Perrysburg today. If you've recently asked your friends and neighbors, "Who do you use for internet?" or "What else is out there?" this episode is for you.

This episode is not sponsored.

This episode has 3 parts:

• Internet providers mentioned by members of the Perrysburg, OH Facebook Group
• What else is out there, according to my online research.
• What to consider when comparing and choosing an internet provider in Perrysburg.

Compare providers using a spreadsheet. I like pen/paper. My husband prefers Excel. Make your shopping list before you talk to someone in sales. If you don't know what you need, it's hard for anyone to help you choose.

Providers mentioned in this episode include a mix of fiber, cable, wireless, and satellite providers. Availability varies by address. In alphabetical order, they are:

1. Amplex https://amplex.net/
2. AT&T https://www.att.com/local/internet/ohio/perrysburg
3. Brightspeed https://www.brightspeed.com
4. Buckeye Broadband https://www.buckeyebroadband.com/
5. CenturyLink https://www.centurylinkquote.com
6. DISH https://dish.com/isg/internet/
7. Earthlink https://www.earthlink.net/
8. Frontier https://frontier.com/
9. HughesNet https://www.hughesnet.com/
10. Omni Fiber https://www.omnifiber.com/
11. Spectrum https://www.spectrum.com/internet-service/ohio/perrysburg

15. Viasat https://www.viasat.com
16. Windstream (Kinetic) https://www.windstream.com
17. XNET WiFi https://xnetwifi.com/

Consider the following when looking for an internet provider:

• Do you need internet for business or residential use?
• What will you use it for?
• Which devices will access the internet, and how many at the same time?
• Which providers are available where you live?
• What's your budget for internet?
• Are there any promotions?
• Can you bundle services to save money?
• What internet speed do you need for uploads and downloads?
• Do you need fiber?
• What's best for gaming, streaming, remote work, or rural coverage?
• What equipment (hardware) is provided? (Do you know how to use it?)
• Are you comfortable with the customer service offered (human-staffed, chat bots, 24/7)?
• Let me know what I missed - [email protected], Subject line: Episode 129
