Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in California

Frontier Fiber
May 15, 2026 Frontier is very well balanced between pricing and speed, being competitive in the market. There is very little to no delay in the internet with high pockets of latency that would mess with important things. The customer support is very quick and doesn't leave me guessing as to what and when things may happen. Their business is transparent on whether they would be able to provide in certain areas and the types of rewards available in layman terms.

August 16, 2025 fiber has been generally fairly stable. The price was decent when starting at $50, but has progressively gone up over time.

November 24, 2024 Spectrum as my internet provider has been great. They have always handled issues in a timely manner and i rarely have complete outages, which is important as i'm an online student. Their customer service in person has always been wonderful when I've gone. However, the customer service over the phone is sometimes lacking.
