Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Virginia
Customer Reviews
A Glen Allen, VA Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
May 11, 2026 T-Mobile was the WORST mobile provider, especially with respect to customer service. I dreaded having to call in (after waiting so long for a text/chat option lost during the Sprint merger, it disappeared within weeks of availability) because of long wait times and barely knowledgable staff. But T-Mobile internet's customer service is so much better! The service has really improved over the three years I've been a customer; moving to 5G really helped. The one remaining point of contention is that the $35/month and $45/month deals are only for new customers. As much as I don't care for Verizon, at least their deals are for everyone.

XFINITY Cable
September 29, 2024 Our internet provider has been really great for our family. We have not had any issues with the speed of our internet at all. The best part about it is that the price of our internet service has remained the same for years. You don't often see a company who doesn't raise the price.

March 22, 2023 We do not play for the most expensive plan. The internet speeds are not incredibly fast, but are fine for what we need. We could upgrade if we needed faster internet speeds.
