Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Florida
Customer Reviews
A San Mateo, FL Customer
XFINITY Cable
June 02, 2025 Xfinity home internet has worked well for the needs of my household. It is relatively reliable and consistent, with little downtime over the past several years. When there are issues causing outages, the company is communicative and gets those issues resolved within a reasonable timeframe. I hope that eventually our area will get faster, cheaper fiber optic options as well.

Windstream DSL
June 22, 2023 The DSL line seems to go out every time the wind blows. We've complained multiple times and they've done nothing,. If it is the rainy season, it goes out multiple times a day. Other than that, there have been no issues with privacy or anything.

XFINITY Cable
March 24, 2023 Overall I would give Comcast a 4 out of 5 just because of their pricing, to be honest. The signal is good when it's available, but there seem to be more and more outages happening. Another issue is their customer service. It's not thy they don't n know wht theyre doing, they just don't listen to the customer at all.
