8 Ways Race Communications Delivers Exceptional Customer Support & Internet Experience
Internet service isn’t just about speed – it’s about the experience. Race Communications, a California-based fiber internet provider, understands that delivering high-speed internet is only half the battle. The other half is providing warm, professional, and personable customer support that makes your life easier. Whether you’re a tech-savvy power user, a family focused on reliable service, or a casual internet user who just wants things to work without hassle, Race goes above and beyond to keep you connected and happy.
From hassle-free installation to cutting-edge Wi-Fi technology, these are the differentiators that set Race apart – and real customers are sharing the benefits.
1. Hassle-Free Fiber Internet Installation – We Handle Everything
Nobody likes a complicated setup, which is why Race Communications makes installation a breeze. From the moment you place your order, Race’s team works quickly and professionally to get you online without disruption. Scheduling is flexible, and expert technicians come prepared to set up your fiber internet connection with minimal effort required from you.
This is especially valuable for those who aren’t tech experts or busy professionals who just want their service up and running. Race’s friendly technicians do it right the first time, so you can immediately enjoy your new fiber connection.
As Bernabe T. noted, the Race crew was extremely careful and courteous during installation – “the gentleman that installed our wire to the house was very courteous and made sure to clean up after himself”. Professionalism is guaranteed, so you can sit back while Race handles everything.
2. Next-Day Appointments & Remote Support – Help When You Need It
Internet issues can be frustrating – but waiting days or weeks for help is even worse. Race Communications prioritizes prompt, reliable customer support, offering next-day appointments for technical issues and responsive remote support. If something goes wrong, you won’t be left hanging. 
Race’s support team can often diagnose and fix Wi-Fi or connection problems remotely, so you don’t even need to wait for a technician to visit. And if an on-site visit is necessary, they strive to have a technician at your door by the next business day.
Race’s customers frequently praise the company’s rapid response. For example, when Lucy E.’s service had an issue, “they got on it right away. Next morning they were there and had it fixed up in no time.”
Aside from fast, Race’s support is also personable and local. You’ll talk to real people (often based in your community) who genuinely care about solving your issue. They’ll troubleshoot step-by-step with you on the phone or via email, and only dispatch a technician if needed. This efficient approach gets you back online faster. Doug C. shared that Race’s support advisor was “professional, courteous and knowledgeable,” resolving a problem in minutes that other companies couldn’t fix in weeks. That’s the caliber of help you can expect.
3. Race CommandIQ® App – Complete Control of Your Wi-Fi at Your Fingertips
Having great Wi-Fi hardware is wonderful, but being able to easily manage your home network is a game-changer. That’s why Race includes the Race CommandIQ® app for all internet customers who use a Race-provided router. This powerful (and free) mobile app puts control of your Wi-Fi network in the palm of your hand.
Even non-technical users can handle tasks that used to require a call to support. The app lets you:
- Monitor connected devices. See every device on your Wi-Fi and how much data it’s using. Great for the tech-savvy pros who likes to keep an eye on the network.
- Set up parental controls and profiles. For families, you can create user profiles, set age-appropriate internet filters, and even pause the internet for the kids at dinnertime.
- Create guest networks. Have visitors? Easily generate a separate guest Wi-Fi network (with its own password) so you don’t have to share your main credentials – all done in seconds through the app.
- Run speed tests & more. Verify your high-speed connection anytime, or change your Wi-Fi network name/password without fuss.
You can manage your home Wi-Fi like a pro, without actually being one. It’s designed to be user-friendly and personable, matching Race’s warm approach – you’re in control, but never alone if you need help (since Race’s support is always a tap away through the app or a call).
4. Professional Wi-Fi Heat Mapping – Optimizing Your Home Coverage
Ever had that one room in the house where the Wi-Fi signal just refuses to reach? Race Communications takes extra steps to prevent those pesky dead zones through professional Wi-Fi heat mapping. During installation (or upon request), Race’s technicians can assess your home’s layout and construction to determine the optimal router placement and whether additional access points (like mesh units) are needed. They use heat-mapping tools to visualize signal strength throughout your home, for optimal Wi-Fi coverage in every corner.
The result of this careful planning is a strong, consistent Wi-Fi signal everywhere – living room, bedrooms, home office, even the backyard. Customers feel the difference when a provider takes the time to fine-tune coverage. Greg C. reported a “very neat installation” where the tech “put the Wi-Fi where it needed to be and that was a perfect place. They set it up [and] it worked perfectly.”
If you have a larger home or one with multiple floors/walls, this heat mapping service is a godsend. Instead of a trial-and-error approach or leaving you to figure it out, Race proactively addresses coverage during setup. For example, they might discover that a dense wall could weaken the signal to an upstairs room – and adjust the plan by using a mesh unit or moving the router to a better spot. The goal is whole-home connectivity without you having to think about it.
5. Carrier-Class Wi-Fi 6 Router – Cutting-Edge Performance Included
Unlike many ISPs that stick you with outdated equipment or charge extra for a decent router, Race Communications includes a carrier-class Wi-Fi 6 router with every plan. You get a powerful, next-generation router capable of delivering the full speed and reliability of your fiber connection. Wi-Fi 6 is the latest wireless standard, designed for faster speeds, better capacity for multiple devices, and improved coverage. In short, it’s built for the demands of modern households – and Race provides it so you can truly enjoy your high-speed internet without bottlenecks. 
Customers immediately notice the difference with Race’s provided router. It’s not a flimsy basic model, but a robust piece of tech (often a GigaSpire router) that can handle dozens of devices and heavy usage. George R. shared that “the router that comes with the service is exceptionally quick and covers my entire house. It even reaches a shed in our backyard.”
Because the router is carrier-class, it also includes advanced features like dual-band support, MU-MIMO, and band steering. Consequently, your devices gets the best possible connection. Heavy users who push their networks to the limit (online gaming, 4K streaming, smart home gadgets everywhere) will find that Race’s router stands up to the challenge. And families benefit because everything just works – you don’t need to know why, but your Netflix doesn’t buffer and your video calls stay clear, even with multiple people online.
6. Mesh Wi-Fi Units – Whole-Home Coverage with No Dead Zones
For very large homes or properties with challenging layouts, even the best single router might need a little help – mesh units. They are additional Wi-Fi nodes that work with your main router to blanket your entire home with a strong signal.
Mesh technology allows your devices to automatically connect to the strongest signal as you move around. Instead of a range extender or a second network, it’s one unified network that intelligently routes traffic. The benefit? No more dead zones or dropped signals in the far reaches of your home. Have a detached garage office, an upstairs gaming room, or thick walls? Mesh units have you covered. They’re especially useful for households with many connected devices spread over a wide area.
Mesh units work hand-in-hand with Race’s Wi-Fi 6 router and CommandIQ app, so managing your whole-home network remains simple. You don’t have to juggle multiple Wi-Fi networks or tech support calls – Race designs the network for you, end-to-end.
7. Bandwidth Steering Technology – Always the Best Connection
Bandwidth steering (often called band steering) technology is built into Race’s Wi-Fi systems. In essence, it automatically “steers” your devices to the best available Wi-Fi band (e.g., 5 GHz vs. 2.4 GHz) or access point. If you have a dual-band router (like the Wi-Fi 6 router Race provides) or a mesh network, this feature is constantly working so you don’t have to manually switch networks or suffer a subpar link.
What does this mean for you day-to-day? It means your new laptop might connect to the faster 5 GHz band for high-speed streaming, while your older smart TV uses 2.4 GHz for better range – all done intelligently, without interruptions. It means if one mesh node is busy or has weaker signal, your device will hop to a stronger one seamlessly. The result is consistent, stable performance for all your activities. If you’re streaming a 4K movie, playing an online game, and backing up files to the cloud at the same time, bandwidth steering helps distribute the load efficiently.
Race’s customers experience this as simply “everything works, everywhere.” One customer marveled that “the service can handle many concurrent users… I’ve never experienced a slowdown.”
For the particularly tech-savvy folks, knowing that Race’s network uses advanced features like MU-MIMO and band steering is reassuring – it’s a cutting-edge setup, not a basic “one size fits all” solution. For everyone else, the benefit is seen in what doesn’t happen: your video doesn’t buffer when someone else starts a Zoom call, your Wi-Fi doesn’t randomly cut out when you move between rooms, and you don’t have to reconnect to different networks. It just works.
8. Easy Upgrade Paths – Internet Service That Grows With You
Life moves fast, and so does technology. With Race Communications, you’re never left behind because they offer easy upgrade paths for your internet service. Need more speed down the line? It’s simple to upgrade to a faster plan with Race – no lengthy contracts trapping you, no exorbitant fees for changing plans. Want to take advantage of the latest Wi-Fi standard or new features? Race proactively upgrades customer equipment when beneficial to make sure you continue to have the best experience possible.
Customers truly appreciate this forward-looking, customer-first approach. Many have noted that Race doesn’t nickel-and-dime or make it hard to evolve your service. “There’s room to grow with this service. I anticipate that I will keep it for many years to come,” one long-term customer remarked, expressing confidence that Race will meet their needs as they expand. That confidence is reinforced by actions: another customer shared, “I appreciate the call to advise my equipment was aging and needed a no cost replacement.”
Race actually reached out to replace an older router for free, without even having been ask – talk about exceeding expectations!
Experience the Race Difference
From start to finish, Race Communications strives to provide an internet service that’s a cut above the rest. These eight differentiators – hassle-free setup, rapid support, a user-friendly Wi-Fi app, optimized coverage, top-tier equipment, mesh networking, intelligent network management, and easy upgrades – all work together to create an unbeatable customer experience. It’s no wonder so many customers say they’re “so glad [they] switched” and that they “couldn’t be happier” with Race’s service.
In an industry where providers often fall short on support or hide behind fine print, Race takes a refreshingly honest and proactive approach. The brand’s warm, professional, personable ethos shines through in every interaction – from friendly installers to helpful support calls and follow-ups to make sure you’re satisfied. It’s internet service with a human touch and a commitment to quality.
