Veronica L.
AT&T Fiber
April 22, 2026 My internet provider is AT&T. Overall, their fiber optic service has been reliable, providing consistent high speeds that meet my daily needs for streaming and browsing. I appreciate the stable connection, especially when multiple devices are in use.
A Westminster, CA Customer
Spectrum Cable
April 06, 2026 Spectrum internet provides good speed and connection 24/7 to me. I never had any problems with my services. I can access my account on the app on my phone.
A Anaheim, CA Customer
Spectrum Cable
February 09, 2026 I have low income internet through Spectrum. It was easy to get. I called Spectrum and they sent me the router and cable box and I installed it myself. No background check, no upfront fees, no installation fees and the same amount every month guaranteed.
Justen Q
Cox Cable
December 20, 2025 I live in graduate student housing, so the internet is paid for by the university. This may skew my answers a bit since I obviously enjoy the price. The speed could be a lot better though since it’s patchy and can be slow when watching videos. I prefer fiber optics (used to have google fiber at my old apartment), but can’t complain about this with the price.
A Huntington Beach, CA Customer
Spectrum Cable
November 06, 2025 Getting it set up activated was very easy. I walked into the Spectrum store and was able to have internet at home within the next hour. I didn't need to schedule a technician to come since the process was pretty straightforward and I was able to do it myself. The internet speed is functional, but I wouldn't call it fast. The connection has been consistent so far and I haven't experienced any cutting in and out or noticeable slowdowns. The price is the same if not a little bit more than fiber, so I find it expensive for what it is.
