AT&T DSL
April 07, 2023 I am greatly disappointed in my internet services. the price has continuously increased up to $30/month more, although the actual performance has stayed the same or worsened over time. I am currently trying to find a new provider with better service. The penalties for late payments are exorbitant too.

XFINITY Cable
March 25, 2023 The price of my internet service has gone up and up, but I still get unreliable service. Sometimes my devices won't connect to the internet for even an hour at a time. I had to call customer service a couple of times because of fees for additonal services that I don't use and I wasn't aware of but was automatically signed up for when I renewed my yearly contract. If there was a competitor in my area I would probably switch services.
