December 15, 2025 The service has been almost consistently stable in my neighborhood without only one or two outages since installation a few years ago. The installers were courteous and worked with me to find the best place to mount the box. I was able to use a competitor's offer to haggle down my price after being solicited later on to switch back to my old provider. The app is somewhat finnicky but otherwise my interactions have been seamless.

April 02, 2023 T-mobile gave us a really goof deal since we are teamed up with them. The deal is that we pay only $50 a month for high speed internet, when its usually around $100ish a month.

March 19, 2023 I had an easy installation experience with Suddenlink and have had no issues with them since. I've had their service for about 3 years and the connection is strong with no disruptions that I can recall.
