Verizon Fiber
July 02, 2025 In my area for a long time we were forced to only use one service provider and pay extraordinarily high prices. I was very pleased when Verizon came into my neighborhood and was able to provide a better service at a lower cost. I have not had any problems with lagging or slow speeds since I have switched.

May 26, 2023 My son Is a real cheapskate and he signed on with them. He never goes anywhere so he didn't get enough data for me. After I use the minutes it is supposed to slow down, but I will be in a store and try to look up a coupon and never get connected. It's frustrating, but unbelievably cheap. Luckily out Wi-Fi at home is great!
