Buckeye Cable
May 01, 2025 Overall I am fine with Buckeye Broadband cable except for their price. I feel their pricing is way too expensive. Buckeye hardly ever has streaming issues, goes out, or buffers, so the actual service itself has been great. Their customer service and techs have also always been top notch when we have had an issue, when we were switching out equipment, or when we called to try to lower our bill. I just hate the fact that our unlimited internet, which we need due to high usage (remote work, online classes, a gamer), is so expensive. They keep saying fiber is coming, but it's been quite a while and they still don't have it in our area.

Buckeye Cable
April 29, 2025 I was receiving 100mb download speed for free during the pandemic. Since the ACP program ended I am paying over $120 a month. I work from home and I also home school. We need a lot of data. I have the cheapest unlimited data plan. This unlimited data plan was supposed to boost my speed to 200mb. Before ACP ended and I had to switch plans my Internet ran perfectly. Now that I'm paying over $120 a month and my speed went up, I'm constantly having issues with buffering and the wifi dropping and I've had a technician out 3 times. I'm extremely unhappy with my Internet.

Buckeye Cable
October 19, 2024 My provider has a monopoly in major areas of the city I live in, which means there's no other cable internet provider available. This enables them to charge ridiculous prices because they know they can! I happen to live in one of those areas, and any other company's internet can only offer DSL speeds, which isn't good enough these days. It's very frustrating and makes me want to move elsewhere so I can dump them.

Frontier Fiber
November 12, 2026 Had terrible service from first day. My service worked, my wife's didn't. Didn't produce enough power (ordered 1 gig plan) to keep my tvs working. Only the oldest one in the bedroom worked. Called my old company the next day and had my old service restored on Monday.
