AT&T Fiber
August 10, 2025 I've had this type of internet for a few years and it is very reliable and fast. I plan to continue using this internet for as many years as I can.

Spectrum Cable
March 29, 2023 I use Spectrum for my internet, TV cable, and cell phone service and I would like to express how thoroughly satisfied I am with them in all regards. Their customer service is great, they're pricing is reasonable, and I would recommend Spectrum to my friends and family. The only feedback I'd have for them is perhaps working on their internet speed. It's a little slower than I'd like but it's not a compromising factor at all.
