T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
September 17, 2024 It's shocking to say that T-Mobile seems to be better as an ISP than a cellular network. The speed has been great and works well for all 6 of the people in my household. I can stream, play music, video/audio chat with others and have the rest of the family on the network doing whatever they need to do while experience or feeling no loss of speed. The setup is almost seamless in its experience and if you don't know what you're doing, there are instructions that work along with you on the box on how to set it up. This is especially helpful for households that can't get access to the other ISPs or people who are not very technologically advanced. For the price, especially having it price locked, I'd definitely recommend it.

Optimum Cable
May 28, 2023 Optimum has gotten very expensive. After 10+ years, we're paying over $100 more than what we did when we first got the service. When I went to downgrade our service in order to save money, I was able to get a credit on my bill. This allows us to pay half the rate for the next year while keeping the same package, but it's still a lot. I'm looking into other alternatives, but all of these companies have monopolies in their areas, which can make options limited.

Verizon Fiber
May 13, 2023 Verizon is the most expensive provider we have ever used. Their service is good but we feel their TV packages should be more customizable (all Hallmark Channels, all food channels, no sports etc. We get good internet speed but sometimes bad reliability on the internet even in cystal clear weather days. Their customer service overall is just fine but they could go further with ensuring their customers are happy with the products and services they are receiving from Verizon.

Verizon Fiber
March 21, 2023 Over the past 12 years we have been with Verizon FIOS the service we get has been reliable and great. While they charge more money than Cablevision we get a much better product and therefore worth the extra cost. The menus are intuitive and easy to accomplish what you need. Service disruptions are nearly non existent. If I have one complaint is when they have updated the GUI sometimes they introduce more features but all these extra features slow down the process which I don't like.
