Verizon Fiber

4 of 5 stars April 15, 2026

I have to say I am pretty happy with Verizon internet. It is fast and usually reliable. There are very few service interruptions. I do think this service comes with a pretty high cost. I bundle with my cell service to help offset the cost but it is still too high. Thank you

Cox Cable

3 of 5 stars February 08, 2026

My cox service has been stable and without very much downtime for many years. The price though seems a little but high just for internet. We pay over $100 a month just for internet service. We actually cannot afford cable service because internet service takes the majority of our extra spending money.

Cox Cable

4 of 5 stars December 02, 2025

I have been with Cox Cable over 30 years . I would give them a 4 star rating for Internet . The cable TV was far too expensive for what I received , so I canceled it , bought two smart TV's and I stream everything . I pay $33.00 a month for TV and receive all the channels I had with their TV service and save about $120.00 a month not using their TV service. So far , my internet rates have not gone up and I have a contract for 2 yrs . When that expires , I will have to see what the cost will be and compare it to other service providers in our area . I hope Cox will realize the importance of being price competitive and retaining their customers . I do wish they would offer a senior citizen and or Military discount . Thanks !
