Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Maryland
Customer Reviews
Ela E.
Verizon Fixed Wireless
April 24, 2026 The process of actually getting the wifi box was an incredibly drawn-out process with Verizon that took over a week of back and forth. The customer service operatives were either incapable of helping or unwilling to assist over the course of 15 phone calls. They forgot to send the wifi box until another call prompted them to look and then had to same day ship it in order to save face. The wifi itself works fine, but it almost wasn't worth the hassle of actually getting it to the house.

June 15, 2023 The biggest issue i have is it does not reach our whole house. There are plenty of dead zones in our house, even though it is not that big. It also has glitches and often times cannot stream videos without buffering. Their customer service also leaves a lot to be desired.

Verizon Fiber
May 03, 2023 Our internet provider is very on and off. sometimes, it has no issues and is very reliable. other times it will be out for hours on end with no solutions via troubleshooting. I live in a city so that affects it, but it's still annoying.

November 12, 2026 Fair, but occasionally spotty, especially with rainstorms. Low ratings are based as much on my dissatisfaction with their sometimes confusing website and difficulty in determining exactly how much it would cost me to change my current plan.
