Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York
Customer Reviews
A Cheektowaga, NY Customer
Verizon Fiber
April 07, 2023 Sean T
Spectrum Cable
March 29, 2023 They used to be Time Warner, who was also a monopoly for my region. Both companies have the only high speed internet in the area, so they can charge crazy prices for low speeds. My internet does not regularly get the high speeds that I am paying for and come up GB/s short. The modem/router they provide (and charge you to use) is also terrible. If you are not plugged in the wifi is shoddy and can go from working perfectly to not able to load anything by moving 10 feet across a room.

AT&T Fixed Wireless
March 08, 2023 AT&T Services, Inc. provides telecommunication services. The Company offers wireless network, cell phone, digital television, internet, land line telecommunication services. Overall, AT&T has great nationwide coverage, with its 4G LTE network covering about 68% of the country and especially great access in urban areas. AT&T Services also serves customers worldwide.

GoNetspeed Fiber
November 29, 2024 GoNetSpeed has replaced my former internet provider and outshines them in absolutely every way. The speed and reliability of the servide is exceptional. I have been with them for 10 months and experienced a single outage that was rectified within an hour. Their reasonable pricing will increase just $10 per month at the one year mark and then be locked at that rate permanently. That makes the former provider I was with a laughing stock with their constant fee increases. Customer service and technicians are all super informed and efficient with a level of friendliness and politeness that puts my former provider to shame.

Spectrum Cable
March 07, 2023 I find that their advertised speeds are only achievable during certain times or even under prefect circumstances. The lack of consistent customer service and documentation is quite an issue too when it comes to resolving what should be simple problems. They lock features behind a proprietary app that require phones, it is insane to not have direct access to a physical device, the modem/router, that I pay for.
