Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Virginia

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.

Cox Cable
March 26, 2026 The speed of my Cox Cable internet is decent. However I feel that we have an unnecessary amount of downtime. Whether it be from scheduled repairs or unforseen outages, we have periods of down time almost weekly. The pricing of my service is fair, but I feel that for what I am paying, I should see more consistancy in my service. While the down times are short, it is frustrating they are so frequent. The biggest problem that I have with Cox is the customer service if you have a problem. The wait to speak to someone is almost always excessively long. Once you speak to someone, they are clearly working off of a script for whatever your problem is and they have minimal to no flexibilty to deviate from that script. Asking for a manager provides minimal satisfaction. I have many times considered switching services, but the hassel and unknown of if the service will improve has made me deal with the average at best service from Cox.

Glo Fiber
May 10, 2025 They did not disclose that after one year, we would be paying rent on our modem. We had a perfectly good one already, but the tech highly recommended using theirs to ensure high speed. Our monthly cost increased over 20% with the rental fees and after doing a little research, you can buy your own (the same one they use) for A LOT cheaper.

Cox Cable
March 10, 2023 I think cox cable internet has decent service. The speed is fine for multiple devices, sometimes there is service disruptions but not long enough to complain about. I think the price is a little high for the service we get.
