November 12, 2026 Fair, but occasionally spotty, especially with rainstorms. Low ratings are based as much on my dissatisfaction with their sometimes confusing website and difficulty in determining exactly how much it would cost me to change my current plan.

June 04, 2026 I haven't had alot of issues with my service provider as of recently. The service is pretty good as far as speed or network visibility. However, I do travel alot for work and the biggest disconnect I've noticed is not having phone service in certain buildings especially around DC. It really hinders my work at times so in that regard, I rated the service a 4 overall. It would've been 3, had I not also noticed other coworkers have SOME (not all) of the same phone service drop areas. But I keep it at 4 because we did recently have a power outage during a storm a few days ago. That was the first outage in a long time that I've ever experienced on a wide scale level. I had to use mobile cellular data to get by but it was actually not a bad experience at all. It really helped me get through the storm and look up some resources. And for the most part, the data speed was pretty fast all things considered. I have sold lines for my provider in the past, so I was already very familiar with them being known for fast fiber speed capacities but overall, I've noticed I tend to have no disruptions in service, max 3x a year if you consider emergencies like the power outage. I have thought about t-mobile though, because I've seen coworkers have GREAT phone service in alot of places I don't. And I don't see internet or download speeds or data being a huge detractor either. I would just need cost comparisons. I.e. I'm satisfied with the service but it could be better, I just don't know that the prices out there are competitive.

December 21, 2025 Verizon Fios has been seen as a considerable upgrade from our previous internet provider, xfinity, but still has its own set of drawbacks. The download speed and the upload speed are very fast, especially when using an ethernet cable, and the customer service is responsive when needed. We've also not seen any problems with having many devices using the wi-fi simultaneously when multiple people are over, or when we are using multiple devices per person, so that is another positive. However, it seems like the coverage from the router is not as good as other providers as the wi-fi is not as strong at the top floor of our house. When using the wi-fi at the top floor of our house, it is sometimes much slower than the lower floors, and sometimes does not even connect, which can be very frustrating considering the monthly price. This problem was not apparent with other providers as the wi-fi may be marginally slower, but not many other problems aside from that. It is understandable that the wi-fi is not as strong on the top floor as the router is located on the bottom floor, but not being able to connect at times is somewhat disappointing. Overall, Verizon Fios has been a good choice at its price point for the speeds we receive, but there are definitely times where it feels like we should switch to another provider.

September 06, 2025 My internet provider is absolutely fantastic. We did have prepaid internet through xfinity but our speed was too slow. We called xfinity to try and change this and update the speed and they sent us a modem the exact same day with a free month of service and out speed went up to 1000 speed. I was finally able to do all of my work from home without any lagging or wait times.
