Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Alabama

Sonya K
Tombigbee Fiber
March 26, 2025 Freedom Fiber internet service is the fastest, most reliable internet service I have ever had. The occasionally have down time, however, they keep us updated through their Facebook page and have issues corrected in a reasonable amount of time. My cost for this service is $79.95 per month, which I find somewhat reasonable. My only real complaint with Freedom is their customer service can be difficult to navigate and slow to respond.

August 05, 2024 My husband and I love this service. Internet speed is fast and the service is very reliable. We live in a small town and feel that it is the best service offered in this area. The charge for the monthly service is more than reasonable. It is fantastic.

November 05, 2026 Borderline unusable internet, they'll charge you for "up to" 500mbps and you wont even crack 30 on their best days. Genuinely hope a class action lawsuit comes for these people and their scam.
