I can not believe how fast and friendly this service was. They offer discounts to low income ppl and work with you to wear you are contributing to the govt, not just taking (since they ended ACP) but at what you can afford. They are easy to get on the phone and you can understand them because they speak english!!! YEAH!!!!

Constantly inundated with calls to upgrade. Bait and switch tactics attempted by them.We don't want a contract. Speed is slowed down and we have to wait a good while for a page to load. We will be switching soon.

I have been very pleased with the lack of outages in my area. I have both an At&t along with Xfinity (purchased so we hopefully never loose internet). Many of my companies data backups run to my home. So internet for me is extremely vital.
