Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in North Carolina
Customer Reviews
A Davidson, NC Customer
Windstream DSL
February 12, 2026 Sarah J
TDS Cable
April 29, 2025 Small company was bought out with promises of better connections and stability. They keep changing names, we are like on the 4th name in 5 years. We have constant issues yet we pay for the fastest speed but only get about half of the speed. They say its because we are in a condo setting, but that shouldn't matter. We've purchased a mesh system to counteract that, but it only helps a little. I call their IT when it goes out about twice a month. I'm on the phone for at least a half hour each time. They get it working each time, but it doesn't make sense why it requires this much help each time. We are in a pretty stable suburban area and unfortunately, don't have any other choices for internet.

November 05, 2026 Service during the day has gotten a little better. However, Spectrum does a lot of maintenance late at night and therefore the TV and Internet go out. Not happy with that since I stay up late.
