May 03, 2023 I recently moved, so I've only had this service for a week. My prior provider was XFINITY in MS. I loved the service. Comcast has come a long way. Frontier seems a little slow thus far but I'm still evaluating and will give it a few weeks before checking for upgrades..

Frontier Fiber
April 25, 2023 Overall, my internet service is satisfactory. I don't have many options to choose from in my area, so I'm happy that I at least have reliable and capable internet access. Download speeds are okay, but nothing cutting edge. For what I pay I would like to have more competitive speeds. Any higher speeds would require a significant increase in my current bill. But I'm largely satisfied with my ISP.

March 17, 2023 I am currently content with the services provided by AT&T when it comes to my internet. They offered me a good deal when it came to internet speed, downable speed, and even offered me unlimited data when it comes to my home internet. Not to mention the variety of modems available in their online stores, along with other devices to could help elevate my internet experience. All in all, if my internet package can handle having around 8 devices on it all at once and still have fast and reliable internet speed, then I'm good with AT&T as my internet provider.
