Nykeba W
AT&T Fiber
February 20, 2026 I was reluctant to switch to AT&T, because of how lomng I had been with Comcast. I used AT&T when I stayed in an apartment, but I was still unsure. In the apartment, the services went out quite often. Once I moved back into my house, my husband switched to AT&T and I'm glad he did. The services at my home is much better than services I had at the apartment. I only pay $60 vs $125 for my internet and I've had no issues with speed, nor outages. I was also able to upgrade to fiber again for only $60. I'm happy with my choice.

December 26, 2025 Xfinity has great basic internet service. The download and upload speed has never been a problem for us. We have two users in the home. When main utility power is loss; xfinity notify us by cell phone of approximate uptime.

December 16, 2025 Do not run into an issue. Internet has been down at our business for over 5 days and customer service is useless.

XFINITY Cable
December 15, 2025 The sign up process for my internet provider was flawless. It was so quick and smooth. I maybe had to click through 2-3 screens before my order was done and my internet box was ordered. When the internet box got here, it was easy to install however my home had a problem with the plugs. I was able to get a customer service technician to come to my home quickly. The problem was fixed quickly. Since then, there have been no problems with my internet. It reaches to all areas of my 2 story home. It never goes out when there is a storm. I am happy to auto pay because the service is great.
