April 08, 2023 My provider actually just raised the price of my internet service by $5 this month. It was already very expensive so this does not make me happy. Also the service can go out randomly for a day or more.

June 13, 2026 When we started two years ago with the service, it was less than $70. Now we are paying almost $110 for the same service. I will say my speed is wonderful. I can honestly say that I also have very little issues with my service.
