AT&T Fiber
December 02, 2025 AT&T offers stable broadband service in Washington and it is always high-speed, but during peak hours it may slow. They have prompt customer care services, yet their prices are not competitive as compared to other local providers.

Astound Broadband Cable
January 11, 2025 Because of where we live, we cannot get high speed internet which is very frustrating. We live in the middle of DC and this should not be an issue.
A Washington, DC Customer
Astound Broadband Cable
November 23, 2024 Everything except the price has been good. I had no issues contacting them to set up the router and the employees were friendly and helpful and they got it done quickly. The price was good in the beginning and the speeds were as promised. After a year my "promotion" ended and they raised the rate but it was still a price I was comfortable playing. After another year the rate went up again by almost $20/mo which was unacceptable. I called them and got a lower rate but the inconsistent pricing and random charges are very annoying.

August 14, 2024 Sure, I can tell you about my experience with Verizon. Having Verizon Fios has been a game-changer for my internet needs. Streaming movies and working on big downloads feels effortless with their crazy fast speeds. Plus, because the upload speed is just as fast as the download, video calls are crystal clear – no more lag! However, their availability can be spotty, and I wasn't thrilled to find out my plan has a data cap. Before I signed up, I had to do some research to find the right plan for my usage. Overall, Verizon has been great, but it's definitely worth comparing plans before you jump in.
On the customer service side, things can be a mixed bag. Sometimes I can reach a helpful rep quickly, but other times I've been stuck on hold for ages. Their online chat option is helpful in a pinch, though. All things considered, the pros of Fios outweigh the cons for me, but it depends on what your priorities are.
