Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Ohio
Customer Reviews
Daphne A.
Spectrum Fiber
September 19, 2025 Spectrum internet high speeds provides fast downloads. The service is reliable with minimal outages. There is no long-term contract. You are able to bundle with other services that Spectrum offers which creates a potential savings. I recommend trying out Spectrum.

AT&T Fiber
June 23, 2023 The installation was super easy. That was my favorite part. They shipped a box with everything clearly labeled. This price is a bit more than if I went with cable.

Spectrum Cable
April 26, 2023 Spectrum is just Time Warner repackaged. The service is slightly better since they changed names. AT&T was far worse, especially with their customer support. But still, all in all, too many internet companies hold a monopoly over areas across the USA in exchange for the worst terms and prices.

Spectrum Cable
March 12, 2023 Spectrum is adept at bundling their products. You may want a different cable TV provider. You might be interested in another Internet provider. They make it very hard to be bothered separating your services.
An Ohio Customer
AT&T Fiber
February 16, 2023 AT&T offers the best internet in the area for a fair price. I wish gigabit (or more) was offered in residential areas, but I understand it may be coming due to my location in relation to a school. I am not happy with their monitoring setup (i.e. outages). Also as with many ISPs their provided router doesn't work very well and had to use a third party router.
