Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Ohio
Customer Reviews
Rebecca H
AT&T Fiber
November 06, 2025 Their customer service is not great. It's very difficult to reach a live person. I also feel like I should get more of a discount for having multiple accounts.

Spectrum Cable
October 26, 2024 I have been very disappointed in Spectrum's service and pricing over the last four years. My neighborhood has experienced frequent outages when other areas/providers have not. They are slow to respond and do not remedy the service within the quoted time frame. They have also increased the cost of their 'Spectrum Internet Assist' program by 200% in the last two years, which is supposed to help low-income residents be able to afford internet service. I personally am in search of a better means obtain internet access.

Spectrum Cable
April 21, 2023 I get "up to" 1 gig per second but it's always slowing down to nothing at peak hours. I'm not happy with that when working from home.

Spectrum Cable
April 15, 2023 There is not enough competition is SE Ohio between cable companies and internet providers. The weather also makes dish options problematic. So Spectrum is one of the few games in town. Cellular coverage is weak. WiFi coverage is bad. The price of cable is shockingly high for the number of channels in each package. I got more for less at my last residence (out of state) and better service. They've even "crowdsourced" installation now - except they sent the wrong item.
A.G
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
March 30, 2023 The pricing for T-Mobile WiFi is unmatched, but there's some serious issues that have yet to be resolved. Due to it being 5G instead of cable or fiber, UPNP isn't a thing. Which makes gaming online a bit of a mess. There's also a massive issue with being on the same 5G network as everyone who has a phone, daytime you'll see your down MBPS drop harshly. Other than that, when it's working it works great, and setup was hassle free.
