XFINITY Cable
May 14, 2023 Xfinity has occasions where the internet will go out. While annoying, these outages happen very far and few in between, which leaves me to be still very satisfied with the quality. There are also not many options where I live (there is one other option), which definitely makes me want to like my ISP more. But overall, I think that Xfinity is a very good choice for high speed internet in my area.
A Hoboken, NJ Customer
Verizon Fixed Wireless
March 30, 2023 Verizon is extremely responsive and reliable. Anytime I have a problem with my services (which is not often), I know I'll be taken care of quickly and efficiently. The speed is great, and I have no complaints!

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.
A Wanaque, NJ Customer
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.
