Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Minnesota
Customer Reviews
A Minnesota customer
XFINITY Cable
June 10, 2023 Been a customer for almost 10 years now, occasional price hikes suck but they at least let you know ahead of time for changes in your bill. As far as reliability and service, very good both from an entertainment and work perspective.
DaveS
XFINITY Cable
May 14, 2023 My provider is Comcast and despite their generally bad reputation, I have been happy with their service. My internet speed is excellent and there are very few outages or issues. Plus, every two years, when my contract is up, I have always been able to negotiate a better price. Just be nice to the customer service rep and they will work with you.
A White Bear Lake, MN Customer
CenturyLink Fiber
February 21, 2023 If there is no wind, the service is perfect, except that we aren't getting our reported speed. If the wind is under 20 mph, then the service is a little buggy. If there is a storm, I might as well turn off the router. This has always confused me because our lines are buried, being fiber optic. Yet, when I report an outage, it is always just in our neighborhood.
