Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Louisiana
Customer Reviews
A Baton Rouge, LA Customer
Cox Cable
December 23, 2025 Ever since I cancelled my cable and DVR subscriptions in 2014, the price has steadily crept up and beyond its old cost. Also my service has been spotty and slow over the past few months. They sent out a contractor to drill a hole in my wall and install a new line from the street, but that did not resolve the issue. The contractor's work was sloppy and careless, and I feel I am being overcharged for poor service.

AT&T Fixed Wireless
August 03, 2024 ATT does have its downside when it comes to their pricing. At times I find that the internet does slow down over time for some reason, but when I call them they magically speed it up. I would recommend ATT over other providers but I still feel that it is not the fastest. I have heard that companies like TMobile are fast aswell/

Cox Cable
April 15, 2023 Cox has been my internet provider for most of my life now. I currently use their cable internet which costs me $40.00/month. It is the mid tier and the speed is good enough for streaming in high definition, playing online games, and downloading. Overall it is fair for the price, but I do have a few complaints. I do not have unlimited data and every now and then I have to pay extra for overages. Also, the connection isn't very stable at times and it will lose connection.
