Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in California
Customer Reviews
A Irvine, CA Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
April 19, 2023 I liked my internet provider at the beginning because Cox Communications is a monopoly in my neighborhood. Cox has some of the worst customer service, prices, and outages that I had ever experienced. With T-Mobile, I can at least feel a bit more at ease because their pricing is very competitive and much cheaper than Cox. However, I am not entirely happy with their router they provided us. The internet still cuts out a lot and we have to restart the modem at least once a week, which can get pretty annoying.
