Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York

Verizon Fiber
December 27, 2025 I've had Verizon Fios at my home (FiDi) for over 10 years, and overall - I've been very satisfied with the service. The connection is fast, reliable, and consistent - whether I am streaming, working from homw, on video calls, there are rarely any issues. I have not experience many problems over the years - and I don't recall having to call customer service at all. And although the performance and reliability is worth the cost, I do wish it was less expensive.

July 16, 2024 I called RCN to get the "real" price for one of their Astound broadband offers. Yes, "Astound" all right. "Astoundingly" CROOKED! After "taxes and fees," the final price was more than DOUBLE the advertised price, even after the autopay discount! I can't imagine how bad they must be to deal with once they get their hooks into you. Stay far, far, FAR away from these shysters!
