May 02, 2026 I left Windstream DSL for two years for cable from Cox. Cox raised their prices so I went back to windstream and they then had fiber internet. Their service has been better since I came back.

April 30, 2026 I recently had an internet outage and there was no text about it which was atypical. But the outage itself was atypical so I didn't worry too much. I did explore after a few hours to learn that the outage was fairly small. I had called 3x and not gotten a satisfactory answer beyond we will let you know when service returns. While I was calling around the time when it did return, I spoke with a person for the first time in 6 hours since I woke up. I let him know that I needed the internet for my work and that I chose Spectrum for its reliability. I also chose it for its good communications but this time I didn't receive any texts. The apologies were sincere and I responded that I anticipated Spectrum would restore its good communications. It will take more than one outage to get me to make a change even though it's a costlier service. I will give their usual reliability another chance at being very, very rare.

April 24, 2026 The pricing of the internet service keeps going up and our cable bill is very high. It seems like every year it gets more and more expensive. I have not priced our service against the other companies to see if it is in line with the competition.

AT&T Fiber
April 20, 2026 I like my current internet provider. The speeds are great and it does not get bogged down when we have a lot of devices connected. Any time we've had an issue their customer service has been fantastic and they've resolved issues quickly. The installation process was pretty quick even though they had to drill a hole in my wall and bury a cable in my yard. Any questions or concerns we had they addressed immediately. The process for signing up was quick and painless.
