Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York

Massivemesh Fixed Wireless
December 15, 2023 NYC Mesh is a great ISP. Not only is it great for me, it's also great for the community. Every install they also put a wireless access point which is available to the community. Additionally, it's a non-profit, with sliding scale billing. Every node that gets added to the network (you put an access point on your roof that operates via line-of-sight to other nodes) basically expands the network's reach. It's a very cool organization. More can be found at... I believe it's nycmesh.net

Spectrum Cable
June 01, 2023 Spectrum has been very cost-effective for the speed it provides. However, the signal and connectivity is unreliable, at least, in my area because the service goes down at least once a week. Spectrum's "cable guy" was extremely helpful when he installed my service and I have no complaints about the technicians. But I will have to say I may complain about the wait times when chatting or calling customer support.

Verizon Fiber
February 21, 2023 I have used Verizon as my internet provider for years. Although their prices could be lower, the service has always been reliable. Their customer service team has been very helpful whenever I've called with questions or concerns. I also use this company for my cell service and my television.

Optimum Cable
January 14, 2023 In my neighborhood, there is only one ISP. The service is horrible in part because there is no competition. They scam folks into bundling with cable TV and other packages. They also charge reoccurring fees for folks to rent the cable modem that wouldn't cost as much as the rental fee.
