i3 Broadband Cable
April 18, 2026 I used to use Comcast for my internet service, but it got very expensive. I3 Broadband became the popular choice in our town. It was much cheaper and allegedly faster than Comcast (Xfinity). At first it was, but at this point it is about the same speeds and somewhat slower than advertised. However, it is still significantly cheaper than other options, and it works for what I need it for (work, streaming). Overall, I am fairly satisfied with I3 Broadband.

March 05, 2026 I switched from Comcast to T-Mobile a few years ago. I didn't have many options before that. T-Mobile is half the price of what I was paying Comcast, and I don't have to play games to try and get a lower price. It's also faster and doesn't have nearly as many outages.

i3 Broadband Fiber
October 09, 2025 I3 broadband is the best ISP I have had the opportunity to work with. On multiple occasions we cut the fiber line running to my home and each time they showed up within a day and fixed the issue. They even brought specialized equipment to run the fiber line under my drive way, put grass seed down in the area damaged by their gear, and proceeded to NOT charge me anything for it. I can not boast enough about this ISP, any time there is an outage they are very responsive and quick to work on correcting the issue.

XFINITY Cable
May 24, 2025 I have used Xfinity for around a decade! They have always been great as far as the product is concerned and whenever I have needed assistance, they have also been great. The pricing is something I have always been happy with too. Recently, I started bundling cell phone service with Xfinity and have also had an amazing experience. The reason I say "amazing" is partly because the cell phone deal was a good one and the service is also good, but the Xfinity employee that worked with me was amazing. And she still helps me every month with a special form that I need for submitting to my employer for my expense report.
