Pavlov Media

1 of 5 stars September 12, 2026

My phone is quicker and more reliable in every single way. Ping is high, packet loss is minimum 10% normally 25% and I can only watch 1080p in the mornings, in the afternoons everything take minutes to load. And they ignore you whenever you complain.

IQ Fiber

5 of 5 stars September 01, 2025

I have been highly impressed with IQ fiber. A fast and simple install. Fantastic Pricing, 40 $ a month less than what I was paying. Better speed compared to what I had before, and to top it off, no data caps. Even the tech support is better, as I've gotten calls from the ISP when my fiber went down due to a traffic accident hitting a junction box, before I even knew the service was interrupted.
