Cox Cable
January 21, 2026 They are trying to make it so we will be needing their internet more. We just switched from Century Link and we’re getting faster internet, for less. In two years, they said that the price will increase. My wife and I are hoping century link will pull it together because we dislike how Cox treats its customers. We cannot stand them but they are the only other option in our market for the speeds we want.

Centurylink DSL
December 15, 2025 I have had century link since I bought my house and it has never worked well on my phone. Every time I get home I have to disconnect my phone from WiFi to do anything. It works for my home security and cameras and streaming devices, but for my phone specifically the signal is just awful and there seems to be no fix.

Windstream Fiber
December 07, 2025 This is our first time using fiber internet. Previously, we used a cable modem. We switched because of a better price offer for the first 12 months and did not notice a substntial difference between the two modes of internet.

Allo Fiber
December 02, 2025 Allo has great customer service. Their installation is quick and simple. The prices are higher than previous companies, but the speed and reliability makes up for the initial twinge of sticker shock. The outages are rare and brief, and the technicians are always prompt and professional. I would definitely recommend them over other local options.

Allo Fiber
November 04, 2025 Overall I'm very happy with Allo. For $136 a month I'm getting 2 gig internet which is twice the speed for $40 less than my last provider. The speed is amazing. My only issue is my connection is a little spotty in some rooms of my house, but I've experienced worse from other providers.
