September 30, 2024 Internet provider does not have a good customer service. Very slow when a problem with the internet occurs. We have had to switch out our modem multiple times in the past few months.

XFINITY Cable
April 13, 2023 I've been a customer of Comcast for the last few years. Overall, I'm very happy with the service, speed and reliability of their internet. We haven't had too many issues over the course of our contract, which is very important. The one thing I'd change is that they keep raising the price and I have to renegotiate, I wish I could lock in a rate for as long as I remain a customer.

Starlink Satellite
June 16, 2026 Starlink is a satellite internet service from SpaceX that’s great for people in rural or remote areas. It usually gives fast speeds around 100 to 250 Mbps and works well for things like streaming, video calls, and browsing. It does cost more to set up at first, and bad weather can sometimes affect the signal, but overall it’s a solid option if you don’t have access to cable or fiber internet.
