June 20, 2023 Where I live is a rural area so the only available internet is through DSL. Compared to the new fiber optics that my parents have at their house, our DSL is slow and has more trouble with buffering when trying to stream shows.

May 24, 2023 My internet provider is spotty. First I can go days with my internet working fine but then a day or two it goes out I've had times when the internet was out for the whole day. Also the app constantly have connection issues content loading and buffering. Lastly unnecessary fees recently internet bill went up for the same service.

November 13, 2026 Rudest supervisor is Christy. We were told we had to use our previous equipment at our new address in the same zip code but only a soft start was needed because the previous owners of that residence, but Customer service and Christy said no. Said we must talk with Tech support. They said no. So, we'd have to schedule a date and wait hours for someone to show. Meanwhile I work from home and need the Internet to work. Christy then says IT can do it tomorrow at 8AM, but I have a 9 AM meeting I must make. She won't give us IT's number to arrange a better time, so we say we will have to look at other options. She then calls back wanting to cancel our current service now. Can you believe how rude and petty this woman is. We can't have another appointment for a soft start or new equipment installed at the new residence, so I can at least continue working in the meantime. If you treat all your customers this way. You deserve no customers.
