Rock River Internet is a full service, locally owned and operated Internet Service Provider (ISP). We are dedicated to providing fast, reliable Internet access and services to customers in the northern Illinois area. We have been working in telecommunications and computer hardware and software design in the Rockford area since January of 1984. We began our Internet Service operations for business customers in 1997 and for residential customers in 1998. On April 10, 2004 we quietly began our Voice Over IP telephone business.

Although our primary focus is serving the business community, we also offer residential dial-up Internet, residential DSL, and other residential broadband options through our MTU and hotspot partnerships.

Our staff understands computers, networking, and the Internet, but more importantly we understand that many people don't. We can help you make sense of the baffling array of standards and acronyms and help you get the most out of the Internet.

All of our critical servers run hot-swap raid arrays and replacement servers are available for immediate cold-swap. We have multi-homed DS-3 connections on diverse paths from the Internet backbone to our downtown Rockford NOC (Network Operations Center). We use redundant Cisco 7200 family core routers running HSRP for automatic failover and BGP4 routing protocol. Our network has fault tolerance that is unsurpassed in the Rockford area. We are not at the mercy of any one provider's stability. All circuits are monitored and engineered to run 24/7/365.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy our site and our services. We welcome your comments.
