Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Pennsylvania
Customer Reviews
Not Loyal
XFINITY Cable
March 07, 2023 My ISP provides FIOS internet, although not in my area, which I was disappointed about. We get up to 300 mbps on our plan, which is more than enough for my household's two cell phones and two TVs, even if they are on at once. We pay around $54 per month. However, if would be about $65 per month if I was not on autopay. I believe this is a somewhat reasonable price for just internet service (no cable channels or landline phone), although I was hoping to pay around $39.99. I have no loyalty to Xfinity or any other cable services. If another service provider has a better deal on cable internet, I will first ask my current ISP to consider reductions. If they can't do that, I will switch.

Verizon Fiber
January 23, 2023 I recently switched from Comcast cable internet to Verizon Fios fiber internet. Not only is Verizon cheaper than Comcast by half the price, but it's four times the speed. I haven't had any issues with the internet dropping and it was pretty simple for me to set up myself. The only real issue I had with Verizon is that the customer service is slow and the employees don't seem to understand much of what is being said at times.

XFINITY Cable
January 12, 2023 Comcast's customer service is typically less than helpful and difficult to get ahold of. Their services are overpriced, but we're locked in with them because our apartment complex is contracted with them. The amount we pay monthly for the internet speed is absurd. We have outages more often than we have working internet.
