How we work
Local
In-person help from a neighbor, not a call center three time zones away.
Independent first
We look for options beyond the big corporations before anything else.
Straight talk
No jargon, no upsell games. You’ll leave understanding your own setup.
If a big provider really is the only option where you live, we’ll tell you so. Honest advice is the whole point.
Hi, I’m Phil.
Founder, Edwards Independent Technology
Shelton, Washington
I spent more than a decade in telecom as a trainer, technician, and salesperson, then managed a 121-unit senior living community with a staff of 25. These days I also teach business and marketing.
I started EIT because people deserve technology they understand and control, and a real person nearby who will tell them the truth about their options.
I serve homes and small organizations across Mason and Thurston counties, with service reaching from Tacoma to Chehalis to Ocean Shores.
