Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Texas
Customer Reviews
Sam F
AT&T Fiber
May 11, 2026 AT&T use to be one of the best service providers, but recently I feel they have gotten so big that some of the basic issues that you may have are being routed to people who don't know what they are doing by way of fixing the problems. I like AT&T, but I also think they charge us to much for the same products we've been using for years. I do like that we usually are never without service most of the time even when there is bad weather.
