November 18, 2024 My internet service provider is overall good, but I don't like some aspects of their business model. I think that the connection speed is good and I don't experience throttling. I also pretty much have service wherever I go. However, I think my service is really over priced in comparison to some other companies (I am paying 137 a month for phone and internet). I will say though, AT&T is very understanding about payment and offers for you to make payment arrangements.

March 22, 2023 Although I am rather content with the speed of my internet provider , all the costs of what comes from using the internet makes the price of the isp rather expensive. First you pay $80 a month to have internet but then need to buy all of these other services to happily enjoy the internet.
