Verizon Fixed Wireless
May 04, 2026 I like Verizon. They have decent quality speeds, but my gripe is with the signal, being unreliable, even in a big city. It is the 4G/5G, and randomly drops multiple times a day. Not only does it get frustrating, it affects how much money I make, since my work requires the internet. Also, the price is a little steep, but at this point I believe all internet services are too expensive.

IdeaTek Fiber
April 14, 2026 Switched from Cox to Ideatek when they first came in January of this year. Speed and price wise they are a lot better than Cox. Although for some reason when the kids try and game after school they struggle more with lag than before the switch. It’s like once the sun sets the internet starts acting up.

April 06, 2026 Super easy self setup! I had my Google fiber mesh routers from the store and had my internet running same day. They are plug and play and tweaking the advanced settings was easier than my old router I had and loved for almost 8 years. I will never want to switch from Google Fiber. When I look for future houses to buy, I search to see if it is Google Fiber ready.

AT&T Fiber
March 07, 2026 There are fairly rare internet outages that occur perhaps a couple of times a year. Typically though it's only for a couple of hours at a time, so it's not that big of a deal.
