Frontier Fiber
July 08, 2025 frontier has decent internet when it works but they do not know how to trouble shoot you over the phone and fix your issues and they give you a router with open ports on the network leaving us open for hackers to attack which is not a good thing at all. All in all they service is decent but they lied about the price it was supposed to be 75 a month after a few months it became 175 a month and has been like that ever since other than that they are good.

March 26, 2023 I switched from Verizon when I moved to this house. Spectrum is a better service. Cheaper and faster. Verizon was not responsive to problems, and never updated their equipment. I would avoid them entirely.

Spectrum Cable
March 17, 2023 At home I currently have Spectrum for both internet and cable. The speed of the internet is great, but is constantly going down in my area. I also never use the cable because the quality is horrible, but its included in the bundle because of the price. They are also consistently changing the price of my service, and I have to threaten to cancel in order to reduce my bill. Unfortunately there is no other providers in this area, so I am stuck with Spectrum unless Frontier comes to my area. Not the best service, but what can you do.

Frontier Fiber
January 06, 2023 Frontier has come a long way from when they first took over from Verizon in my area. I think my internet speed is very fast now, and rarely experience connectivity issues during very heavy usage.
