Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Washington
Customer Reviews
Lauren S
XFINITY Fiber
January 02, 2026 I like my internet provider and the service I get from them. The speed is often consistent, I've only had one outage in the 2 years that I've been with them and they communicated well about it (when/where it was happening, when they expected service to be back) and it was back-up pretty quickly after. One thing I dislike about them is that they sometimes raise their prices. As I said, I've been with them for 2 years and they've raised their prices twice since then and while that might not seem like a lot, the main reason I got internet through them was because of the low price so when they raise it it makes me want to switch. I also wish they had better bundles and more incentives to purchase the bundles, like including deals with other companies (disney+, discounts at stores, etc.), and had cheaper prices to bundle internet and home service.

November 17, 2024 Lightcurve is a smaller company and any time I've had to interact with them, I've been very pleased with their customer service. They're easy to contact and are very helpful.

HughesNet Satellite
August 05, 2026 ### One star only because zero isn’t an option HughesNet provided, without question, the worst internet service and customer service we have ever experienced. We remained customers for seven years—not because we were satisfied, but because we live in a rural area and had no other viable option. The service was never consistently reliable. Streaming a complete movie was nearly impossible. Calls repeatedly dropped, including calls made to HughesNet’s own customer service department because the connection was so unstable. When that happened, they wouldn’t call us back, and we often couldn’t reconnect with them to finish resolving the problem. HughesNet repeatedly claimed we had used all our data, even during periods when we had barely streamed anything and hadn’t managed to watch complete movies. We were told that exceeding the data allowance would only result in slower speeds, but what we experienced wasn’t merely a slowdown—the service would become completely disrupted and practically unusable. Technical support was equally frustrating. Technicians would identify problems or recommend solutions, only for HughesNet to refuse to authorize or implement what its own technicians recommended. We spent years calling, troubleshooting, repeating the same information, and being passed around without receiving a lasting solution. We paid every month for a service that frequently failed to provide even basic, dependable internet access. The moment fiber internet finally became available in our area, we left HughesNet. Since switching, the difference has been unbelievable: reliable service, uninterrupted streaming, stable calls, and none of the constant excuses or mysterious data problems we dealt with before. That alone confirmed that our devices and usage were not the real issue. Seven years with HughesNet gave them more than enough opportunity to provide the service and support we were paying for. They consistently failed at both. I would never recommend HughesNet to anyone. If it appears to be your only option, investigate absolutely every possible alternative before signing up. Being without internet may be less aggravating than paying for internet that repeatedly doesn’t work.

XFINITY Cable
June 15, 2026 My internet provider and has consistently provided me with fast speeds. I never have a problem with down loads or streaming. In addition there is never any down time. Even during occasional outages there is always communications from the company. In a short period of time the system is always back up and running.
