March 21, 2023 I used to be happier with my internet provider. I had a good deal when I first started - I think it was $45 a month for just internet. Now it is $90 per month and it still is just internet. I also notice with having other things connected to wifi (like home speakers, phones, laptop, fire stick, etc) it just seems spotty often.
