Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Illinois

XFINITY Cable
March 10, 2023 The internet service provided by xfinity has been very affordable, fast and at times reliable. There are moments service is down but it is always handled efficiently and I have never had to make a personal phone call over an issue. For all the people in my family who use the internet there are never times where our service is slow or is not working unless it's an issue for everyone. I'm happy with the service they have provided me.

AT&T DSL
January 07, 2023 Generally the most reliable in my area for the price point. One of the few options that didn't require a television subscription or satellite package. ATT offered decent upload, download, and streaming speeds for the monthly rate. Installer said our connection is first position in the utility box so our speed would be the best compared to our neighbors down the block with higher rate plans.
