Makayla B.

Optimum Fiber

4 of 5 stars February 27, 2026

Thankfully, we have had little to no quality problems, unlike my parents with their providers. If through a near miss with tornados, our service was perfectly in tact and we had no issues through the storm. We seldom have issues with slow service and have never had issues with our service going completely out. Our community members have had issues during weather with different providers, but we never experienced it. We are pretty satisfied with our provider and service.

XFINITY Fiber

4 of 5 stars January 22, 2026

Xfinity internet service at my home has been consistently fast and reliable, easily handling streaming, gaming, and multiple devices without lag. Installation was quick, and the technician was professional and helpful. I appreciate the user-friendly app that allows me to monitor usage and reset the modem remotely when needed. While the pricing could be more competitive, the overall performance and stability make it a worthwhile investment.

T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless

3 of 5 stars December 17, 2025

I love that T-Mobile's internet lets me install it without assistance. However, I wish that the speeds were more reliable. Sometimes the internet will be super fast, and other times, it will randomly slow down. I also wish the pricing was more affordable since I pay over $50 a month for my service. I wish there was a discount for customers that have been using the service for over a year or two. I also wish there was a Wi-Fi extender that could be attached to the router to make the connection stronger. Overall, I would rather be able to install the internet quickly upon move-in rather than deal with the headache of scheduling an installation, but the service provided could use some improvements.

I have really enjoyed my service, but the area I'm in doesn't always provide the best speed. But I have never lost internet access, even in bad weather, which I am so lucky. Fiber is definitely the way to go for me because of the speed and protection against weather.
