Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New Jersey
Customer Reviews
A Newton, NJ Customer
Optimum Cable
November 30, 2025 
Stephanie P
Planet Networks Fiber
April 25, 2024 Previously, we had DSL through Optimum and it was terrible. The internet constantly dropped out. We switched to Fiber Networks and it has been wonderful. The speed is constant, they have great customer service, and it's never dropped out. Working from home requires a really good service provider and I'm very satisfied with the internet we have now. Installation was a breeze and I haven't had any complaints with it.
A Newton, NJ Customer
Planet Networks Fiber
January 28, 2024 I love Planet Networks because they are a local company with very high quality service. When you call customer service, you reach the same associate every time. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The fiber optic service is very fast, and there are very few service interruptions. Switching from a big national provider to a local provider was the best choice.
Barb T
Optimum Fiber
January 18, 2023 I was extremely dissatisfied with Optimum when our download speed was in the single digits and service dropped often. The first few service calls did nothing to improve this. Finally a supervisor came out and decided to replace the underground fiber from the street to our house. Since this was completed we are getting the speed we pay for, around 200. It was a long and frustrating process with a total of 7 different people coming to our house, but now we are very satisfied with the final outcome.

Starlink Satellite
June 16, 2026 Starlink is a satellite internet service from SpaceX that’s great for people in rural or remote areas. It usually gives fast speeds around 100 to 250 Mbps and works well for things like streaming, video calls, and browsing. It does cost more to set up at first, and bad weather can sometimes affect the signal, but overall it’s a solid option if you don’t have access to cable or fiber internet.
