T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
January 10, 2026 I am very satisfied with our internet service. We rarely have outages or downtime.
James M.
Glo Fiber
December 19, 2024 Glofiber recently came to an area where only Charter was previously available. After comparing the rates it was clear GloFiber was the better deal and with a better network at it was recently ran. I saved $20 on my monthly bill and also doubled my internet speed from 600mbs to 1.2gbs. Installation was a breeze and the guy was in and out in less than an hour with zero issues activating it or setting up my account. Billing is also very easy and I’ve had zero issues with that either.

Verizon Fixed Wireless
October 17, 2023 Verizon DSL is slow, unreliable, and not supported well by Verizon. They don't run new wire to fix problems, but they will gladly take your monthly payment.

With out contracts, they can raise the price as often as they want. We would change services if we had the option.
