A Wichita, KS Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
June 07, 2026 this service is basically a gateway with a cellphone signal. to me, it is a giant hotspot that is unlimited. overall it is good but slows down after two months. it is not what it is advertised as but is ok for office work.

Cox Cable
May 12, 2023 Cox is the largest Internet provider in my city. It's pretty affordable and offers a variety of plans. In the 4+ years I've been using them I've only experienced a few outages, which usually occur late in the evening. They've been pretty good at working with me the few times I've needed an extra few days paying my bill. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with them.
Eureka, KS
IdeaTek Fiber
October 29, 2026 Switched from AT&T u-verse and home phone to IdeaTek fiber optic. The switch was easy to set up with Veronica. The installer, Riley P, arrived on time and had the installation completed in under 2 hours. He explained the new system and was able to answer all questions. So far, I'm pleased with the speed from the fiber optics, the lower price, and the service provided by IdeaTec.
