Verizon Fixed Wireless
May 22, 2024 We live our life on the go. We move between two states and having good internet can be tricky. We currently use Verizon and it’s ok but definitely could be better. We have considered switching to starlink but the price is so high it’s hard to justify when what we’re using now usually works for what we need. It would be nice to be able to stream to a TV which we currently cannot do without interruptions. But the start up cost and the recurring cost of starlink is so much that so far we haven’t made the choice to switch.

Anthony Pupa
WOW! Cable
September 07, 2026 20 year customer with good service. A storm knocked out service to entire Detroit region for 3 days. Still out but they say there are no outages reported. 15 neighbors on Facebook say otherwise. Customer service will setup a tech in a few days. It is illogical to say the problem is in our homes and NOT get this looked at now. Time to research new provider.

Truestream Fiber
June 08, 2026 We are very satisfied with our internet provider. They have been very easy to work with very help when we had questions at the start of the service. Since then, we have not lost service except for full power outages. The speed of our internet with the volume of devices we have in the house is quite impressive and as is the performance of the various streaming services.
