October 26, 2024 I think these days most internet services are pretty much all compatible with each other in price and speed. They are all similar due to the competiveness of each company.
A Metairie, LA Customer
AT&T DSL
June 24, 2023 My internet provider is one of only two available in my area. The reason I went with this internet provider is because they offer each customer to be on their own Internet line. In this way, they offer something extra to the customer. I also like how my internet provider is a global company so they are available most of the time. The only drawback is their speed is not great, but I also live in a rural area.
