April 19, 2023 Our internet provider is usually dependable, but will sometimes just crash for awhile. The entire neighborhood will go down. The pricing is expensive, but I suppose no more expensive than other providers in the area. They do give us HBOMax for free, though, which is a nice perk.

March 04, 2023 I come from a rural area with very limited options, so a move to the city and Comcast with fast enough speed for 4k video streaming is not something I can complain about. The constant price adjustments bother me, and getting off their provided router and modem to avoid the equipment fee was a good move.
