Verizon Fixed Wireless
June 28, 2023 Verizon is my favorite internet provider to work with and I have been with them for over 15 years. Because of this, I am grandfathered into their system and have been paying practically the same price for as long as I can remember. I am grateful for the speed and connectivity even when I am on long roadtrips and traveling through places that should have sketchy service. I am looking forward to paying <$100 for as long as the service stays stable.

June 13, 2023 The way they track data usage is flawed, and they are always applying, or trying to apply, unnecessary charges to the account. If you go into a physical location, they typically reverse the charges, but it is all a big hassle.

Centurylink DSL
September 25, 2026 Very poor service. I pay for 12mbs, my speed is consistently below 5mbs, and latency runs up to 1.5 SECONDS at times. Video is buffering every 5 - 10 min for 2 -3 min, web pages load very slowly. I call support and the schedule for 2 - 3 weeks out. When the techs came out, multiple times, they are not able fix or improve the DSL. I have not had dial tone for 2 weeks. Time for a provider change.
