Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Texas
Customer Reviews
Kymber Young
AT&T Fiber
April 30, 2023 AT&T has been mostly satisfactory over the years. I was excited when they told me they were upgrading us to fiber. However, since the upgrade I've had connection issues with my devices and their wifi router continuously. This is a 2500 Sq. Ft. single story home. There is absolutely no reason to need a wifi extender in this small a space. Also, the speed is no faster and frequently not as fast as we had previously.

February 08, 2023 Since I've had the services I've only had one incident where I didn't have services. I did not like how long it took to remedy the issue because I was down around a Day and a half and their customer service for this type of issue was no help I had to try to figure it out on my own
