September 03, 2024 A South Lyon, MI Customer
WOW! Cable
April 25, 2023 WOW! is one of the worst service providers I have ever used. We constantly deal with outages throughout the month. At least 5 times a month, we have our internet out for over 24 hours. They do not offer credit for outages either. We live in a small apartment and our internet doesn't reach into the other bedrooms. We have been a customer for 5 years since there aren't any other internet providers near us. We can't wait to move to get rid of this company. Overpriced and the slowest internet even though we pay for their fastest option.

WOW! Cable
September 07, 2026 20 year customer with good service. A storm knocked out service to entire Detroit region for 3 days. Still out but they say there are no outages reported. 15 neighbors on Facebook say otherwise. Customer service will setup a tech in a few days. It is illogical to say the problem is in our homes and NOT get this looked at now. Time to research new provider.

June 08, 2026 We are very satisfied with our internet provider. They have been very easy to work with very help when we had questions at the start of the service. Since then, we have not lost service except for full power outages. The speed of our internet with the volume of devices we have in the house is quite impressive and as is the performance of the various streaming services.
