Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Rhode Island
Customer Reviews
A Providence, RI Customer
Verizon Fixed Wireless
May 24, 2023 It's not the worst provider, but I've had some issues with connectivity. I also don't like that I had to have so many monthly fees for the router and the modem, which I have to get directly from Verizon. That said, it still works with mostly fixable issues.
A Providence, RI Customer
Cox Cable
March 16, 2023 I rent my apartment and we've maintained the internet service that my roommate had before I started living with her, so I have not done any comparison shopping for providers. With that said, I do find that the internet occasionally lags, even with only two users, and the router cuts out and needs to be restarted once a week or so. Also, our monthly bill rose about $20 between last year and this. I'm not sure if we have any other options -- I think our provider essentially has a monopoly in our area -- but I wish our service was more reliable, especially for the amount we pay for it.

February 28, 2023 They are adequate - I used to have inet bundled with TV, but the TV part got way out of control cost-wise, so I dropped that.
