Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Washington
Customer Reviews

Spectrum Cable
May 11, 2026 They are not too bad, but not perfect. Usually we get decent speeds (around 900 mbs) I do believe that is what we pay for, although sometimes it will slow down for a day or 2, usually around 50 mbs, and will go up or down depending on the weather. When we had an issue with our internet (few years ago) we got a hold of them, let them know the speed was really slow, and they sent us a new modem. I connect to it with my pc and phone, and the speed is faster than the original modem we had. I guess it was old. Now we use 2 wireless routers, one older that my old pc and tablet need to use, and one newer that the remaining devices use, a desktop pc and at least 5 cell phones and another 2 tablets. We don't usually have issues anymore, and mostly satisfied with our service.

Desert Winds Wireless Fixed Wireless
April 20, 2026 Your websites info about what providers are available in my area (Richland WA) is very misleading and/or inaccurate.. For example you have Wi-Fiber listed but when I click their link for plan pricing it takes you to someplace in Utah, no where near me. My current ISP isn't even listed as a provider in my area, so VERY INACCURATE INFORMATION.

Starlink Satellite
March 17, 2026 Starlink is really the only option we have where we live besides a cell phased internet. We live in the country. We have Ben impressed with the service and though we pay a little more than we like we accept this because we don’t really have other options. We have never had an internet outage and it’s fast enough for our needs for the most part.
A Kennewick, WA Customer
Ziply Fiber
January 01, 2026 The billing on Ziply Fiber is totally wretched. I pay for getting a paper bill & my bill is due on the 25th of the month. They are not consistent in getting the bill to me by the 15th of the month (i.e., the month of Dec. my paper bill came in on the 23 so there is no way I could get my check payment to them on the 25th). Also, Ziply agreed to a set price for Sept '25 - Feb '26 & the are not honoring the price. They increased it. Further, Ziply is trying to add a $10 fee for me paying by check. And the final insult to injury is they sent me an email telling me the price of my service is going up $5 effective Feb. '26. Any service that tells me how I have to pay/charges me for the payment method will not keep my business. I also will be reporting Ziply Fiber to the WA UTC for their practices. I definitely do NOT recommend Ziply Fiber. I don't give companies access to my credit card to bill at their will as that is ripe for fraud. J. 1/1/26

Advanced High Speed Internet Fixed Wireless
May 13, 2025 I had very few options for Internet where I lived, but my Internet provider is great! For the price I pay, I have great speed, and little connectivity issues ever. The Internet provider I had prior to this company doesn't even come close to my current provider.
