Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Florida
Customer Reviews
A Estero, FL Customer
XFINITY Cable
January 04, 2023 I feel like we don't have a lot of choices for internet providers. We are very limited to the type and quality in the community that we live in. We seem to have a lot of issues and are continually working to fix issues. I think there are better options out there that may be more cost effective and more reliable.

XFINITY Cable
April 21, 2026 Xfinity offers overall good speeds, but their customer service could be improved upon. When wanting to talk to customer service through the chat option on their app, it gives you automated responses instead of a human being. This can be very upsetting when the issue you have is not covered by the AI's responses. The prices of Xfinity are also too high for the service you get. I pay more than their competitors, but Xfinity is the only real option that is available in my area. This leaves me no other choice but to spend the extra money on Xfinity. I would say I'm not the most unhappy customer, but things could certainly be improved upon.

April 19, 2026 Our internet is very fast and I have never had much lag time or outage issues. I work from home so I use the internet pretty much all day everyday and I have never had many issues with it. The price is good because we have a package deal with our HOA with Xfinity so we all split 1 price instead of paying much more by everyone going thru different providers with individual plans.

June 03, 2025 We only had 3 options when moving into this house, one of them being quantum fiber which didn't have great reviews. We went with them anyways and we are happy we did. Their customer service was great. They got us scheduled for install almost immediately and they had to improvise for installation but he made it all work and explained how it all worked. We got the max speeds available and for a decent price and they locked in our price. They have done many upgrades and they send calls and texts out if those upgrades will effect our connection. They are constantly upgrading the apps and streamlining to make sure everything is accessible in one app. We have only ever lost service once and that was during a hurricane and not until the very end of it. They had the service back up within 2 hours of power coming back. I will stick with them for as long as it keeps being dependable and is available where we live.
