Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Georgia

Windstream Fiber
March 13, 2026 I am very happy with my provider for a few reasons. They have always gone above and beyond to earn my business. when we first started using their services the technician made sure every part of our home had a great wireless signal, including the garage. They installed ethernet cable from the modem to my desktop computer to insure that the connection was always working. This service was free of charge. Whenever we have had an interruption of service due to a storm or something They always have service restored quickly and they send me a text to notify me of their progress. Billing is simple and payment is simple. Naturally I would love to pay less for internet service but I believe they are competitive in their pricing and the customer service is A++
Christine A
Windstream DSL
January 06, 2026 The internet is the only provider in the area. However, I do feel like they are timely in outages and have had no real issues with the service. The customer service on the phone is easy and friendly. I don't know that I am happy with the introductory price to hook you in but raises each year to a much higher amount.

T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
November 28, 2025 I am very happy with Tmobile as my current internet provider. The service is very reliable and the speed is high. We have had this service for almost 3 years now and it has been top notch and reliable the entire time. At the most we reset the modem once or twice a year if it seems to be having an issue. The price has also stayed the same at the guaranteed rate which is very important to us.

XFINITY Cable
June 22, 2023 I'm using Xfinity from Comcast for my internet provider. I'm very satisfied with over all experience. Good customer service, reliable high speed, and reasonable cost is why I would recommend it to anyone else. I had DSL from a local provider before this and it was slower, and the service would often fail during a rainstorm, forcing you to wait a day or more for it to be restored. Xfinity cable is definitely a step up from that.

AT&T Fiber
April 10, 2023 I have really enjoyed my AT&T service. They have had consistent and fast internet, and access to fast customer service. I have not had an issue with my service yet. I will continue to use and recommend AT&T.
