Verizon Fixed Wireless
August 27, 2025 The Verizon home service has been great and a complete surprise how consistent it has been. I previously had spectrum and it was constantly having issues (outages, slowdowns, etc..). The verizon service is much more afforable in comparison and without the consistency issues i am able to have one less worry. As a remote worker, i rely on consistent internet service. Spectrum could not meet that requirement, but verizon has! highly recommend

February 14, 2023 I wish Spectrum offered Fiber in my area. I am a bit jaded and turned off by Spectrum's service. I feel like the fees keep creeping up. I am now paying $85 a month. I work a lot online. I have noticed there have been times in the early morning hours Pacific Standard time where they throttle the internet service which affects my work. If I could get Fiber from another provider I would probably change services.
