Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Missouri
Customer Reviews
Andrew M.
Spectrum Fiber
June 16, 2023 Our internet is paid for by our landlord, but from what I've seen of the prices, they seem pretty reasonable. The service is pretty high quality too. Never any outages, pretty fast too. They also send promotional material occasionally which seem to have good deals with their service.

Spectrum Cable
May 11, 2023 Spectrum internet is hassle-free and affordable. They have a lot of promotions you can take advantage of as a new customer. They have excellent customer service and help you with your installation and setting up your wifi. The speeds are really fast and I haven't experienced any outages so far. Overall, I would highly recommend Spectrum internet.

Spectrum Fiber
May 27, 2024 The Internet service is average. If I were to give any specific feedback, my biggest problem/complaint is that the internet frequently drops due to service updates or other various outages. When the internet is functioning as advertised, everything is okay. I appreciate the limitless data plan (which should be standard at this point). Their pricing and customer service are reasonable, but nothing special
Roger S
Starlink Satellite
November 03, 2026 The speed should be 300 Mbps. What I don't like is the price increase, it was $85.00 month, last month $130.00 month, just received a email saying that next month will be &143.00. Customer support is AI and does not help.
