April 22, 2023 I personally think ATT is a pretty good option for a provider, especially for college students. I have to budget the money I earn, and the service I receive is very affordable for what I am getting. It is fast enough for me to do my schoolwork as well as streaming videos and games. The customer service is also good, it's fairly easy to get ahold of them, although sometimes I have to deal with longer waits or multiple people to get what I need.

February 19, 2023 I think my internet is really good. It is super quick and I never have a problem downloading anything. I use it for streaming mostly and I never have issues with streaming. I do think it is quite expensive though but overall the speed is worth it. I pay about 80 per month for my internet.

Smithville Fiber
February 15, 2023 I really like my internet provider because I live in a very rural area where many don't have service at all, yet my local company has installed fiber in a lot of out of the way places. I like the fact that my internet company is small - not a huge national corporation - and that allows for exceptional customer service. Their customer service is fast, friendly and local. They also provide home security that I have been very happy with.
