Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Alabama
Customer Reviews
An Alabama Customer
Spectrum Cable
April 12, 2024 I live in a rural area, and Charter Spectrum is pretty much the only supplier here that has good connection and good speed. However, they are a little slow to grow. Neighbors only 1/4 of a mile away cannot become a customer. Service Reps have been great - no complaints there. Charter is also strange about their pricing. It's common for a bill to be higher at the end of a 'promotion'. People here just call and threaten to cancel their account in hopes of receiving a lower bill - it always works.

AT&T Fiber
May 02, 2023 ATT Fiber is a great internet service. I am very happy with it and always have been. Great pricing, great speeds, great customer service. I highly recommend it

Spectrum Cable
May 01, 2023 They are the only available high speed internet provider in this area. There are no options. They know that and feel like they can do whatever they want. You either choose them, or you deal with terrible satellite internet. My family continued to use AOL way past its expiration date, when it was available at Walmart on a CD, because there were no affordable options then.

November 05, 2026 Borderline unusable internet, they'll charge you for "up to" 500mbps and you wont even crack 30 on their best days. Genuinely hope a class action lawsuit comes for these people and their scam.
