Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in North Carolina
Customer Reviews
Eric W.
Lumos Networks Fiber
January 30, 2026 We are in a transition period with our current internet provider/telephone company, as the company that bought out our long-time telephone company was itself bought out by T-Fiber at the end of last year. I'm not entirely comfortable with this, because they seem eager to decouple some services (such as email and television services) from their fiber package. The above ratings are for the service as it stands at the moment. Within six months to a year, things might change dramatically.
