June 09, 2026 Overall I am relatively happy with my Internet provider. The main reason is bundling. I can get internet and cable under one umbrella. However, sometimes I feel like the speeds are slow. I have heard great things about Google Fiber. I have also heard that Google Fiber's user interface for watching shows is better.

March 18, 2026 Overall I am happy with my internet provider. The only issue is how the prices go up every year, even if it is only a small amount. For the most part, the speed is good without having to pay more. Customer service has been good too when an issue has come up.

January 06, 2026 my internet provider is reliable, i have not experienced any outages. When i have billing or other issues i am able to reach a customer service representative who is human and i always get the help i need. the bills they send me are clear and easy to understand and i never see any additional charges. i save money through bundling services and the fees they charge me are consistent so i am a loyal customer

December 21, 2025 I feel that the internet service provided to me is fair for the price. I have a small household, just two adults no children, and our service seems to have good coverage for the price point. We tend to have multiple devices connected at once, i.e. TV, smartphone, laptop, etc., and have never ran into an issue with bandwidth. When there have been problems regarding our internet, my provider has been (relatively) quick with providing a solution.
