AT&T Fiber
May 01, 2023 My experience with AT&T has been overall wonderful. My upload and download speeds have consistently been above expectation. I'm happy with how consistent the service is, with minimal blackouts or outages. The company also gave me a $150 gift card as appreciation for becoming a customer, which was such a nice surprise. All the technician's they've sent to my house have been knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. The modem provided to me is sleek and has 2 ethernet ports.

Sparklight Cable
March 12, 2023 Although the speed is good for the price there is a ridiculously low data cap. It is almost impossible to not exceed monthly and be charged extra.

November 05, 2026 Borderline unusable internet, they'll charge you for "up to" 500mbps and you wont even crack 30 on their best days. Genuinely hope a class action lawsuit comes for these people and their scam.
