January 18, 2025 I feel like I got pretty lucky with my Internet service provider. I received $150 in gift cards just to sign up. And as of now I haven’t dealt with any sort of latency or customer service issues which has been fantastic. I also am aware that this technically could be a shared line since I’m in an apartment complex, but I never face any sort of degradation, which is really cool.
