Customer Reviews
Maria T.
Glo Fiber
April 09, 2025 Glofiber has excellent customer service. They were new to my area at a time when Cox Cable was the only other option. I had experienced terrible customer service at Cox and was hopeful for this new relationship with GloFiber. The service technician who did the installation was extremely nice, walked me through everything and provided some tips that would help me if any issues came up. Anytime I have needed to call, the representatives are supportive and kind. They do not have long hold times and it's easy to get help. The service and speed are comparable to my former provider, but I would use Glofiber 100 times over for the level of customer service they give.

InfoWest Fiber
January 04, 2025 I chose Glo Fiber when it first became available in my area. Their prices have been unbeatable with the speeds you get. I have not received any outages (except for scheduled maintenance) like I did with my previous provider. Glo Fibers customer service is top notch and have always had pleasant experiences with them. When I lost my job they helped me with my bill to make it a little easier on me. Recently I called customer service because I was short on payment and the representative talked me through things I didn’t know. They also offered me the opportunity to switch speeds to save me a little extra money and that if I needed to go back to the speeds I have now it just takes a phone call to them. I have enjoyed being a customer and will continue.
