Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York
Customer Reviews
Jen H
Greenlight Networks Fiber
March 23, 2025 Previously, I was always a Spectrum customer but that was only because no other options existed for me. The Spectrum cable internet was slow and they regularly (without warning) increased prices. Once my area began to get fiber, I immediately jumped on the wait list for the service. It took about a year for it to reach my area of the city, but it was worth it. I've never had faster speeds for internet and I've never had a company guarantee prices like Greenlight does. We regularly stream on our TV while using other internet (phones, kindle) and we have not once experienced any slow down in the year we've had the service. Switching to Greenlight has been not only the best financial move (we're saving over $75/m) but also the best move for consistent, quality, fast internet.

Verizon Fixed Wireless
April 26, 2023 I have two discounts. One is for being with Verizon for so long. One is for autopay. I set up the internet with a free device about two months ago and it was easy and the best connection I've ever had.

Spectrum Cable
March 07, 2023 I'm not fond of the fact that the price just went up, and Spectrum doesn't exactly have the best reputation or track record, but the service has been fairly stable and consistent (even with some notably bad weather in the past year) and its stable enough to work on, so I can't complain.
