Astound Broadband Cable
January 11, 2025 Because of where we live, we cannot get high speed internet which is very frustrating. We live in the middle of DC and this should not be an issue.

XFINITY Cable
October 31, 2024 I've been with my internet provider for a few years now. The service started out fairly well but has gone down hill for the past 3 years. First, the price increased and the service stayed the same. Then, I complained and told them I didn't want to pay that much and wanted to cancel. They lowered my monthly bill which was nice but the service is still crappy. I get dropped from Zoom calls and it ruins my work day.

Astound Broadband Fiber
May 25, 2023 I've never had any issues with my internet provider. The prices are low and the service is super fast. It can handle multiple devices being used at the same time. I hope I can take my provider with my if I ever move states.

February 23, 2023 My VerizonFios internet is incredibly slow. We've had the team come out several times to fix it but the problem always reverts back. We've even purchased a Wi-Fi extension box that was supposed to strengthen the connection. We've had no such luck.
