3 of 5 stars August 28, 2024

Although our Internet speed is satisfactory, our internet provider continues to raise prices without any additional service upgrades. Unfortunately, they are the only service provider in our area Beyond also having to include phone service. We continue the weigh the prices compared to other internet providers to include our mobile phone services to make the change.
