Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Pennsylvania
Customer Reviews
A Tarentum, PA Customer
XFINITY Cable
March 31, 2026 I am very happy with the speed of my internet and the reliabilty has also been satisfactory. The cost is rather excessive for what I have, however. Unfortunately, there is not much choice in my area and the company basically has a monopoly on internet service so I can't really shop around for a better deal.

Verizon Fiber
January 19, 2023 My internet provider was our long-term phone provider for decades. When the internet first came into homes more frequently, we got dial up. Then, we upgraded to DSL. Finally, we've made the switch to FiOS, or fiber optic internet. Overall, the internet service provided by Verizon is very reliable.
