Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Indiana
Customer Reviews
Katie B
XFINITY Cable
February 07, 2025 Overall Xfinity has been a decent provider. I’m not a fan of talking to an automated system when I have issues with anything though. Also, the amount the bill increases after a “contract†is a bit crazy. Pairing internet with the mobile plan saves me money so that is what keeps me. The speed is decent too so that helps.

Surf Fiber
November 13, 2024 Surf has been a great internet provider thus far. They were very quick to come out and install the fiber while not damaging any of our property. Surf also has great customer service staff. The few times we have had an issue with the service, the representatives from Surf were quickly and easily able to solve our problems while maintaining a friendly attitude. Highly recommend Surf Wireless!

May 28, 2024 I am very happy with Surf. They provide excellent speeds at a very affordable price and the service they provide is excellent.

Surf Fiber
November 07, 2023 Surf Internet has been a great change for us from Comcast. We have higher speeds with a lifetime guaranteed price. We went with the highest speeds that they offer. We have had to call them a couple times due to issues with slow speeds and you actually get a human being on the phone and they send someone to your house for issues without charging you for that service. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend Surf every time anyone asks about Internet.

Frontier Fiber
October 08, 2026 When it works, it is good, but there is no real customer service. The site says you can call till 9 PM ET, but when you try, it tells you they are closed. The chatbot sucks and never knows what you are talking about. Their app works like it was made by a first-year high school student. The people chatting have to translate to whatever language they speak, so it is slow and not always in the right order; it is like talking to Yoda half the time. This is one of the worst places to deal with or get help when it is needed.
