Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in South Carolina

T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
February 04, 2026 I just wanted to share my experience with T-Mobile home internet, and I have to say, I’m pleased!
Getting everything set up was so easy! The equipment arrived on time, and the instructions were clear, so I was online. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how simple the whole process was.
The internet speed! It’s been fantastic. Whether I’m streaming or working from home, everything runs great, and if I ever had a little hiccup, their customer service team was quick and really friendly, helping me out right away.
One thing I absolutely love about T-Mobile is how affordable it is. Compared to my last internet provider, T-Mobile has a great price with no hidden fees! The unlimited data option is also a huge win for me since I can use the internet as much as I want without stressing about those aggravating caps that slow you down if you reach a certain point.
If I could suggest one thing for improvement, it would be that the only problem I've ever had was last month. This month, it stalled out a few times, so I've had to restart, but like I said, this is the first time I've had any issues with it. I hope they can get that fixed.
All in all, I really recommend T-Mobile home internet! The $50 unlimited plan is perfect for people on fixed incomes. It’s been a really positive experience for me, and I’m excited to keep using it.
