Aeneas

AENEAS AND THE TORNADO ON MAY 4, 2003

15 years ago, Jackson and surrounding areas of Western Tennessee were stuck by a series of deadly tornadoes. A violent F-4 tornado struck downtown Jackson, TN, destroying our facilities and damaged numerous homes and businesses in our community. Below is a brief gallery of news, articles, videos, and photos related to the events of the storm. This storm not only affected us but all of our friends and family across West Tennessee. Aeneas was able to relocate and begin offering services within 72 hours of total building destruction.

What our customers are saying.

I appreciate all the work you guys have put in helping me...Even though the issues weren't on your end, the tracing you did helped point me the right direction...I can tell you that your customer service has far exceeded my hopes...Having a personal contact sure beats calling somebody in...Thanks!

» Jim V. - Lauderdale Community Hospital
After years of dealing with a large company with not-so-personal associates, hard-to-understand billing and poor service, we felt the need to make a change...We recognize exceptional customer service and technical support [and] we found that and more with Aeneas. Aeneas made us feel like clients.

» B. W. W. - Jackson Heating and Air Conditioning
...Because Aeneas services are so reliable, we rarely have any problems, but if we ever do, help is only a local phone call away...Aeneas staff makes it easy even if...you're not a computer whiz. At Aeneas, everyone is knowledgeable, courteous and efficient...Aeneas always exceeds my expectations.

» Debbie A. - Blue Goose Blinds and Shutters
I really appreciate the level of service that [we have] received so far from Aeneas, and I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship. Thank you for your ongoing prompt response to concerns and questions!

» Jessica F.
Brent did an outstanding job in getting my computers back online this afternoon. He was such a pleasure to deal with. He handled my problems and gave me excellent advice about other problems I was having with my connection. Thanks a million!

» Dickie B.
...your wonderful crew working in Jackson, TN [has] always helped and gone above and beyond on their service. They have greatly helped me and have always gone the extra mile... That's the reason I have chosen Aeneas over [other providers] hands down. Steady pricing for service has helped, too.

» Bobby D.
I had an occasion to call your tech support today...He worked tirelessly and with GREAT patience with me for quite a long time (possibly as much as 2 hours). He was great! We solved a problem which had not been able to be solved by a technician from another source. Kevin is great!

» Janice W.
Your people did a great job this week. I appreciate the effort. It was a very stressful time and the Aeneas team made it better. Thank you.

» Naomi B.
Almost overnight, I am only getting a few pieces of junk mail whereas only a week ago, I was getting 10 to 50 a day. It is hard for me to assume that spammers have had a sudden change of heart, so it must be something that you have done. Whatever it is, I thank you.

» Charles B.
I noticed that Aeneas helped sponsor a ballet. Thanks for supporting the arts.

I called "after hours" and was pleasantly surprised that a tech answered the phone. We talked through the problems over the phone for quite some time that night until he figured out the problem. He kept the ticket open and called me back a day or so later to make sure everything was working ok.

Over the years in being a customer with Aeneas I have had to call for tech support very, very few times and each time it has been taken care of quickly and never needed a callback because the problem was not resolved. A very satisfied customer and they are Local. I like keeping the money at home.

» J. Barton
Michael did a great job communicating. He left voice messages and sent e-mails. He gave explanations of what was causing the issue and was persistent in resolving it for us.

» A. Miller
They monitored our connection overnight and the next day we tried different things. We came to the conclusion the phone and electric company were in the area working on lines but they were very diligent and helpful and checked back with us.

» A. Everett
TECHNICAL SUPPORT HAS ALWAYS BEEN POLITE, EFFICIENT AND VERY HELPFUL. I COULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER SERVICE.

Mike was a fantastic help as usual, but by the end of the conversation it was decided that I needed our local IT people to come and take a look at my Microsoft Outlook. Mike is amazing! I love Aeneas!

» M. Williams
Thanks for your help in allowing our internet traffic to be re-routed through you during the recent tornado. Although we were not directly damaged the local infrastructure took quite a hit and in fact our cell service is still down. But we only had a few hours of downtime on our network THANKS.
