May 20, 2023 Xfinity's service has been reliable for the past several years I have used it. Although we have had a few service interruptions due to power outages, the internet has been restored quickly. Xfinity made moving apartments easy as I was able to connect internet in my new apartment the day I moved. The internet sped is great, too. My only complaint is that the pricing continues to go up each year while the quality of the service does not change.
An Indiana Customer
Metronet Fiber
March 26, 2023 I do think the service my internet provider offers is generally very good. It is mostly a good speed, and when there are times that my internet seems to be throttled, it only lasts briefly. My previous provider was known for frequently having lower than advertised speeds. I also find when there is an outage, which happens rarely, it is fixed soon and there is good communication. My main displeasure with my internet provider is that they have raised the price recently which seems ridiculous.

Metronet Fiber
March 13, 2023 I originally had Frontier Internet when I moved into my house. I had it at my last apartment and the speed was fine. However when I moved into my house the speeds were abysmally slow. Dial up internet back in the late 1990s was faster. Where I live we only have three options for Internet, Comcast, Frontier and Metronet. I had used Comcast in the past and hated it. So that left me with Metronet. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily the installation went. The guy was very professional and went the extra mile. I can't remember what he needed but he needed an extra part and worked around my schedule for that day to come back later in the afternoon and fix it for me. I was really impressed with that! What I don't like about Metronet is that they never tell you if they are having internet speed/quality issues. A text alerting me to issues would be very helpful. Especially since I WFH since 2020 and rely on my internet.
