I am really disappointed in the service I have been receiving, when the internet worked it was great, but about a month into having the service, I started having issues, at around 8: 30p.m till 11:30 p.m the network would go to complete crap. I have been on the phone with support for several hours and have complained a number of times with the results I have been receiving, and the support folk have been very kind, but the answers I'm getting of, "We're trying our best" aren't working well enough. October through mid-November this issue was occurring, and it was irritating. But I called providing numbers of the speed test and latency issues to the technical support team, then mid-November it was fixed. Then it began mid-December all the way up until now. I get played to play video games at the professional level, and the times we have games and matches is exactly between 8: 30p.m and 11:30 p.m and it is unplayable. I will most likely be switching to another ISP that is more consistent and gets issues fixed quickly, if I'm paying for 1 gb up and down, I should not be getting, 15 down and 3.2 up with over 100 ping. Until this issue gets resolved this review will stand, I am just completely frustrated with the lack of consistent internet in the most important times of the day without any visible progress on this seemingly reoccurring issue. Overall, I am very disappointed with the performance of Metronet, and I really do hope they are able to solve this issue quickly but reflecting on the fact that this has been reoccurring I'm not confident.

In a rural area where satellite internet or hot spot was only internet option until now. Much faster and reliable then other options. Glad made the change.

This is hands down the best internet service I've ever had. I think we've only had an outage once and it was easily and quickly reset. The speeds are consistent and the bill is the same every single month. I couldn't ask for better service.
