Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in California
Customer Reviews
A Oildale, CA Customer
Spectrum Fiber
August 13, 2025 When signing up for spectrum, we chose them because they said that had the fiber cables that would grant the highest internet speeds. We pay roughly 80 dollars a month for this WiFi service. We are unsatisfied sometimes because when we have multiple devices running games or streaming services, the wifi seems to lag. It can be very frustrating paying such a significant amount for supposedly superior fiber cables and still having issues on a daily basis with internet speeds. We basically have to stay with this provider because there are no other providers in the area that offer fiber. If there was another provider option, we would probably go with them especially if they had a lower price even if it was just promotional to one year.
