Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Illinois
Customer Reviews
An Illinois Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
September 16, 2025 Overall I'm very happy with T-Mobile home internet. It's substantially cheaper than what I was paying to Comcast before. The service is faster and I've only ever had a couple of very brief outages vs much more frequent issues with Comcast. On the odd occasion I've had to call T-Mobile, they have been helpful and accommodating, which is also a very nice improvement over Comcast's typically surly and disaffected employees. I've recommended T-Mobile home internet to multiple people.

March 25, 2023 It's fine, though we have a one-bedroom and it's super slow in the farther room. But it seems like since our place is so small it should work well in all the rooms?
