AT&T Fiber
March 01, 2026 RoJo J.
Redwood Cable
June 25, 2025 I use a third-party Internet provider called Redwood Internet, which is a provider that my landlord, Flats Inc., in Chicago, Illinois, has an agreement with. I'm not certain if Redwood Internet uses or has a partnership with Xfinity, or Verizon, or Astound, or AT&T, but they do a really great job. In the six months I have had Redwood Internet as my Internet provider, I have only had one outage, and they were very responsive and communicated with me via phone frequently. In fact, they communicated more than any other Internet provider I've ever used in my 30+ years of living in the City of Chicago. They were able to fix my outage quickly and I was very satisfied by their customer service!

XFINITY Cable
March 21, 2023 My internet connection used to drop out for a few seconds every 10 minutes or so. This would cause streaming video to freeze. The problem was solved when i replaced the router I was renting from Comcast with a new model that I bought myself. Also my download speeds are excellent but my upload speeds are rather slow.

XFINITY Cable
February 25, 2023 I have really enjoyed my experience with Xfinity/Comcast. The price is really unbeatable compared to what I have paid in other places with other providers. I get a huge discount for also using Xfinity Mobile, and I also got a pretty good free phone for setting up my plan. All told I will receive promotional pricing for over 2 years, at which point I will reexamine my internet needs.

XFINITY Cable
February 01, 2023 Comcast customer service is usually a joke at best and abrasive/belligerent at worst. I can multiple calls in a month asking if I'd like to upgrade service when getting service to begin with was a chore. In addition the cost of the services provided when compared with other cities and/or countries is just sad. Internet is not for only the privileged but is a necessary service for modern life and predatory pricing and practices shouldn't be commonplace let alone allowed.
