Zentro Fixed Wireless
February 04, 2026 I have no choice in internet provider, only Zentro is provided to my building I just have to pay for it.

XFINITY Fiber
January 22, 2026 Xfinity's internet speeds are great! There are rarely any outages. Xfinity has a variety of internet plans to fit every budget. I like that I can use my Wi-Fi away from home as well.
Setup is easy and installers are knowledgeable and professional.
Xfinity meets my families everyday needs providing entertainment and stability for school or work.
A Richmond, VA Customer
Spectrum Cable
October 16, 2023 I receive internet through my apartment complex. The price is included with rent. Each unit gets set up on a router, and because of that streaming can run behind or lag. Sometimes the internet goes out entirely, most likely due to an overload.
Dinah
Verizon Fiber
January 17, 2023 Fios from Verizon has the most reliable service in my area (Richmond, VA). Comcast is a nightmare. My mom has it in another state, and she is always losing service. As far as pricing, I am retired from Verizon and get an employee discount which is not cheap either but better than what most people pay. I do a lot of streaming with excellent quality.
