Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Texas
Customer Reviews

Verizon Fixed Wireless
November 23, 2023 Verizon has a great family package deal, so we have been with them for numerous years. They have always been great with customer service and are quick to fix problems. They also have a great wifi provider for businesses for a great price, so my dad also got their business wifi deal for his business. We won’t be changing our internet provider ever because of how fast and reliable verizon has been compared to other providers, which i compare with my friends who have T-mobile and AT&T.

Spectrum Cable
June 05, 2023 Spectrum has generally been a good internet provider for me. I've been with them for about five years. The first few years I used their service, we had frequent outages and I got really frustrated with them, but they gradually got better. I can trust them to keep my service on well enough to work at home now.
