Optimum Cable
April 30, 2026 At my apartment, we have not had any problems with Optimum. They are the only provider that we are allowed to have, but the connection and internet speeds have been surprisingly good since we've been here. The one issue is that Optimum's customer service is terrible. One time we were on hold for like two hours and we just ended up giving up on our problem. When it does connect us to a representative, they are kind and helpful, but it seems like Optimum goes out of their way to make sure you don't speak to anyone.

Verizon Fiber
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

Verizon Fiber
April 06, 2026 The perks of signing up for their fiberoptic cable package were great. Extra streaming services, gift cards, and a free console. On top of that the service has been top notch. The interface for managing our router is clear and easy to use. Not to mention the speed has been a real step up in quality. Little to no buffering, great for online gaming as well. I couldn't be happier. Plus, when something was wrong with our first router, they got us a new one quickly. No extra charge and great customer service. We have been very pleased with our service.
