Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York
Customer Reviews
A New York, NY Customer
Spectrum Cable
October 30, 2025 Spectrum is a reliable service that we have for a long time (formerly Time Warner Cable). They provide our home phone, cable TV, and internet up to 1 gig. I would say that the connection speeds and uptime is consistent, with a few times per year it may go down. They usually do maintenance late at night but for up to an hour. Since I live in the city, I would want a good cable and internet provider. Their provided cable box and router do their job very well and the added Spectrum TV mobile app is nice to use. Their pricing can be on the higher side, but I would say all cable providers are the same on it and incentive customers with new user packages for a year or two.

Verizon Fiber
April 21, 2023 Their service is the best but it's so expensive. Other providers can claim their service is better but it's really not. They don't offer any loyalty programs which is terrible but they also don't have as many telemarketers. I don't generally need as much service.
