MetroNet Fiber
April 04, 2026 Metronet Fiber is the best internet I've had thus far in life - I haven't had any legitimate issues besides the occasional slow loading speed. Their customer service is surprisingly pretty great, I feel like a lot of tech companies are difficult to work with. One larger problem I have with them is pricing. For your first year, you get an introductory rate of around $50, which is great. Once that year is up, the price randomly increases from time to time with no warning and at an undetermined rate. Within a couple of years I was nearing $90 which feels outrageous to me. Having said that, in my area, they are known as the best provider, and it's difficult to go through switching, so I just stick with them in the meantime.

MetroNet Fiber
March 16, 2023 I really enjoy Metronet being our current internet provider. We used to have Spectrum, and first and foremost, Metronet's customer service is unmatched. They are easy to work with, easier to talk to. Lovelier all around. Spectrum regularly harasses our household by solicitation. The only complaints I could have about Metronet is the fact that they didn't tell people they would need to dig through yards, and that it took 6 different men an entire working day to install our router into the wall on the wrong side when I clearly asked for it to be on a different wall. Outside of that, Metronet has been a dream.

January 10, 2023 When they installed my internet, they had to make multiple visits immediately afterwards over the course of two weeks to get the internet properly fixed, as they had issues with their infrastructure and couldn't solve it for way too long.

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.
