Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Alabama
Customer Reviews
Katy M.
AT&T Fiber
February 27, 2026 When we first moved in our home, we were told fiber would be installed within a year (or so). Unfortunately it took 4 years before we got fiber. We were stuck with the worst internet imaginable. I did not appreciate the "run-around" for those 4 years regarding the fiber being installed. I'm thankful it's installed now and it's been great. Customer service has been great too. BUT I feel like they strung us along.
Wyeisha T
XFINITY Cable
October 21, 2025 I chose Xfinity's internet service because T-Mobile's internet service was not available in my area at that time. I had recently moved and did not want to transfer service from my current provider, which was AT&T. Their internet was slow, overpriced, and was constantly having interruption. While Xfinity is much better, there are times when the service stops and they send out a message that they are working on it. Most of the time, they have it fixed well before the timeframe they estimate. Since I day trade in the mornings and work from home most of the time, stable and fast internet is very important.

XFINITY Cable
August 18, 2025 Xfinity is a decent Internet provider. Their service is pretty reliable. However, I dislike if you use 1.2 TB in a month then you are charged an additional $10 for each 50GB. It’s an unfair practice because there are many months throughout the year where I do not meet or exceed this usage requirement. However, during the summer I exceed this about everyone because my kids are out of school. I don’t feel like this is a fair practice.
