August 14, 2026 not as good as 1 year ago. Has slowed down a bunch. Thinking about changing service

COMPORIUM Cable
July 25, 2026 It goes out often. The router typically has to be reset multiple times and there are no other options available.

Ripple Fiber
July 22, 2026 Several outages lately. It was down today but it is running slow. I put in a ticket and the speed of the response will determine wether I go back to Spectrum or not.
A Summerville, SC Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
May 12, 2026 I am finding it more and more difficult to justify the cost of high speed internet due to the ever rising cost. I have an unlimited data plan thru my employer and I feel like I can just use my phone's hotspot for my needs.
A Seneca, SC Customer
Vyve Broadband Cable
May 04, 2026 I have had Vyve for just under seven months. I switched to them after moving when I learned my old provider, AT&T, would not be an option. This is without a doubt the best Internet provider I have ever subscribed to. I pay less than I did for AT&T, and receive much faster speeds.($70 for 75 mb/s VS $50 for 180mb/s) not to mention the customer service has been top notch thus far. I honestly would recommend this ISP to anyone who is in service range of it!
