Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Washington
Customer Reviews

CenturyLink Fiber
December 01, 2025 Overall we've had a good experience with our provider. When we bought our home it was not wired for fiber, but the company was willing to come out and install it for us, and the process was smooth and easy. We are also in a price for life program such that our internet costs have not gone up since we bought into our plan six years ago. As I see additional fees and charges being introduced for other customers, I am grateful that we have the price for life lock. The only concern at the moment is that our speed is not very fast because our router is outdated. When we had someone out to troubleshoot an outage a couple weeks ago, they recommended that we replace the router with a newer one that would support faster speeds, but if we do that we will lose our price for life guarantee. At the moment our router is meeting our needs, but I'm a little anxious about the cost going up when it eventually fails.

Quantum Fiber
March 01, 2025 Getting set up with Quantum was very easy and straightforward. They delivered what they said they would, when they said they would. There have been a few service outages -- usually at the same time as bad weather in our area -- but those were handled promptly. Recently they increased our monthly bill, and when we called to protest, they placed us on an autopay plan that locks in our rate. This seems a little dubious to me but we didn't want to pay more, so we went with it.

HughesNet Satellite
August 05, 2026 ### One star only because zero isn’t an option HughesNet provided, without question, the worst internet service and customer service we have ever experienced. We remained customers for seven years—not because we were satisfied, but because we live in a rural area and had no other viable option. The service was never consistently reliable. Streaming a complete movie was nearly impossible. Calls repeatedly dropped, including calls made to HughesNet’s own customer service department because the connection was so unstable. When that happened, they wouldn’t call us back, and we often couldn’t reconnect with them to finish resolving the problem. HughesNet repeatedly claimed we had used all our data, even during periods when we had barely streamed anything and hadn’t managed to watch complete movies. We were told that exceeding the data allowance would only result in slower speeds, but what we experienced wasn’t merely a slowdown—the service would become completely disrupted and practically unusable. Technical support was equally frustrating. Technicians would identify problems or recommend solutions, only for HughesNet to refuse to authorize or implement what its own technicians recommended. We spent years calling, troubleshooting, repeating the same information, and being passed around without receiving a lasting solution. We paid every month for a service that frequently failed to provide even basic, dependable internet access. The moment fiber internet finally became available in our area, we left HughesNet. Since switching, the difference has been unbelievable: reliable service, uninterrupted streaming, stable calls, and none of the constant excuses or mysterious data problems we dealt with before. That alone confirmed that our devices and usage were not the real issue. Seven years with HughesNet gave them more than enough opportunity to provide the service and support we were paying for. They consistently failed at both. I would never recommend HughesNet to anyone. If it appears to be your only option, investigate absolutely every possible alternative before signing up. Being without internet may be less aggravating than paying for internet that repeatedly doesn’t work.

XFINITY Cable
June 15, 2026 My internet provider and has consistently provided me with fast speeds. I never have a problem with down loads or streaming. In addition there is never any down time. Even during occasional outages there is always communications from the company. In a short period of time the system is always back up and running.
