Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in California

Allyson E
Spectrum Cable
May 30, 2026 Our internet provider is fine overall. We pay a little more than I think internet should cost. When we first switched over to this provider it worked reasonably well. In the past couple of months, we have been losing service more and more frequently and need to reset the modem more often than seems reasonable.It is frustrating when the internet unexpectedly shuts down, especirally if it is doing a work exercise.
