February 21, 2025 Overall, my internet service is fine. However, I live in a small apartment (1,000 sq ft) and had to purchase a router booster to be able to get stable internet connection in the back bedroom. It also struggled to support my numerous devices. With the booster (which was pretty expensive), it works great.

October 06, 2024 Overall the internet service is pretty good. I am frustrated that prices rose significantly after my first year with them. However, switching providers would likely cost me more than I would save.

September 27, 2023 This is not our first time with Verizon. The first time around was riddled with issues. Customer service was okay, but it took hours to get someone. This time around we have fewer glitches, and no need to call as much for customer service. This time around we've been happier. We are considering switching to Internet only in the future.
