A Hampton, VA Customer
Verizon Fiber
October 23, 2025 I have verizon fios as my internet provider. This area used to be dominated by cox internet and essentially had a monopoly on internet and pricing. Having fios come in and essentially be half the price with the same speed was a life changer. Verizon has no contract compared to cox so canceling later on could save time and money due to cancellation fees. The downside is that verizon has change their pricing of the internet by an additional $5. Even tho its more expensive now compared to before its still a lot cheaper than the alternative.

April 27, 2023 The store employees are always very polite and helpful. Calling customer service is a different story. They are rude and hang up on you if you question the pricing or lack of internet speed.

April 15, 2023 I am pretty happy with Cox as the speeds are pretty good. I wish that it did not cost as much as it does, but with not many options what can you do. We rarely have dropped signal and when we do it comes back pretty fast. We have a lot of devices on the service, so overall I would say it is a very good service.
