Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Arizona
Customer Reviews
An Arizona Customer
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
March 20, 2023 Switched from Century Link, which more expensive, very slow and very unreliable. The T-Mobile Gateway has been great when it works. Very fast, good connections and easy to use. But I have been through three internet boxes and am probably heading to get a fourth. Reliability is a real issue.
