Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Illinois
Customer Reviews
An Illinois Customer
AT&T DSL
March 03, 2023 They are okay at first. After being with a few years, I don't feel like a valued customer anymore. Their prices continue to go up. I have called multiple times looking for a better rate, but every time I am unsuccessful

XFINITY Fiber
February 17, 2023 As a customer, I upgraded my Comcast service earlier this year so that I wouldn't have to deal with another carrier. Comcast and Xfinity provide pretty good service, with exception to this Flex box that my family and I continue to have to reboot. But they are the wisest choice in our residential area. Even though they tend to be pricey when special deals are no longer available, they provide better service, customer service, and promotional deals (thus, more fair rates).

October 08, 2026 MTC has been a great internet for my family. Rather it be gaming system speed, or just watching tv in multiple rooms, The internet seems to run smoothly. I very seldom have internet interruption. When we do it is usually due to storm taking out a pole, or upgrading the system. It usually has been a short time when it does happen.
