XFINITY Cable
November 08, 2025 They are one of the only ones around and they know it. They can charge higher prices on lower speeds and get away with it as there is no other option. I would say for the price i pay i should get double the speed.

XFINITY Fiber
June 28, 2023 Xfinity is the only service provider that runs through our area so unfortunately we are locked in short of using our phones as hot spots. Originally when we moved in we have a wonderful deal in which we only paid about $80 for reasonable services. Then we noticed the bills going up for the exact same services. I have called twice now in the four years of us living here to try and find better deals from them. There were and no they won't ever tell you unless you call and ask. Our bill is now well over $100 and we ended up dropping the tv package to solely use internet which is okay but I'm sure other providers would do better but as I stated, they don't run through our area. Touch??.

Starlink Satellite
June 16, 2026 Starlink is a satellite internet service from SpaceX that’s great for people in rural or remote areas. It usually gives fast speeds around 100 to 250 Mbps and works well for things like streaming, video calls, and browsing. It does cost more to set up at first, and bad weather can sometimes affect the signal, but overall it’s a solid option if you don’t have access to cable or fiber internet.

Optimum Cable
June 06, 2026 Our internet provider does give us consistent service and high speeds. It's Optimum, and I am happy with that aspect of the company. They are also our cable company, and that aspect of the company has changed for the worse. Prices are climbing but we get poorer service. They are closing local stores and pushing cell phone plans on us instead of fixing our issues. So I have a mixed feeling about the company overall, but the internet service has been solid and reliable.
