VEXUS Fiber

January 21, 2026

The strengths of my internet provider lie largely in their promised vs. actual speeds, which are better than most I've tried. Most ISPs advertise the maximum theoretical speed of their connection - which I'd characterize as deceptive, given that essentially no connection ever reaches that speed. With Vexus, however, I'm closer than I have ever been. Despite being in a part of the country where connectivity is a bit of a desert, Vexus has managed to lay fiber and provide roughly 800-850 Mbps down for me on a 1 Gb connection. While that's still certainly not really "gigabit" internet, it brushes against that maximum speed much more regularly than any other ISP I've used.

For $65 a month, that feels like a steal. Vexus does use some of the same tricks (introductory pricing, etc.) as some other ISPs, but my price increases have been minimal over the past few years - and I'm getting a good enough deal that it feels like hardly an increase at all.

Zito Fiber

January 19, 2026

My primary Internet provider is Zito but I also pay for T-mobile (top tear) as I have to work and Zito was going down a lot. Zito has the worst customer service I have ever experienced but it was the only option for me in a rural area when i work from home. Zito recently upgraded to fiber (a whole other story of woe from me as a customer) and it normally has a better connection. However, when it goes down now, my systems automatically switch to the T-Mobile which causes issues with the switching of the IP. So, now I pay for top tier on two providers just to ensure that I have a high quality connections at all times. Sadly, both went down at the same time one day last month (for different reasons.) I really miss the service I had while living in a suburban area but I guess it's a trade-off.
