AT&T Fiber
May 19, 2026 I switched to AT&T fiber after I moved. I used Cox for many years and their service was very inconsistent, they were unreasonable with their customers and expensive. Once I did move, I was ecstatic AT&T was available in my new neighborhood.
I am impressed with the overall price and speed of this new service, I was not impressed with the technician that installed it. He had to check multiple times if the highest speed was in fact available at my residence (even though my area was stated that it was online), he was installing it well into an hour, constantly trying to sell me their phone plan. I feel like he wasn't fully focused on the installation, me being told it would only take a maximum of a half hour. To finish off his poor service, I received an email the next day telling me that the technician didn't install the latest box for the highest speed (which I pay for) and that another technician would have to come back and correct the mistake. Again, happy with the service however, poor installation.

March 14, 2026 Cox is the only internet I can use in my complex. The customer service is excellent. However, the connection is often interrupted. It is great when it is working.

January 17, 2025 It's nothing new but the monopoly internet providers have on us in the states is sad. We've always only had cox, now there is at&t in some parts of our city but it's still rare to come across a place that has access to it.

January 02, 2025 While speed could be higher and price could be lower, the true issue with my service provider is reliability. The price and speed wouldn't be an issue if the service was trustworthy and reliable.
