Verizon Fiber
March 19, 2026 I think we pay too much for internet service through Verizon Fios, but then I think lots of things are getting more expensive too. I will say that the speed I have access too is better than most places I've lived. Even when I'm downloading videos, the load time is very quick and I don't experience much lagging. This is also huge whenever I need to have a Zoom meeting or something where there's streaming video. I wish there were more ways to save or receive discounts for being a loyal customer with Verizon, but overall the product is pretty good.

December 02, 2025 AT&T offers stable broadband service in Washington and it is always high-speed, but during peak hours it may slow. They have prompt customer care services, yet their prices are not competitive as compared to other local providers.

October 21, 2025 Verizon Fios has been consistently excellent for our household. The speeds are incredibly reliable, which is essential with multiple family members often streaming, gaming, and doing remote work simultaneously. We've experienced very few outages, which contributes significantly to our overall satisfaction. While the monthly cost is a bit higher than some competitors, the robust performance and stability make it well worth the investment for our needs.
