    Updated on 05/14/2026: Had installed the neighbors MetroNet line through my backyard and tore up my lawn. They kept pushing it off and took weeks to try to fix it. They couldn't make it how it was before, parts of my lawn are still torn up. They then routed the neighbor's line through my front lawn and over my driveway, and put a speed bump in my driveway over the line. Meanwhile I'm not a MetroNet customer and they're just doing this to someone else's property. They said they'd remove the line and speed bump after a week, but it's been over a month and no one has done anything and they stopped returning my calls. They're extremely incompetent and shouldn't be trying to provide Internet service.

    Original Review: They illegally installed a neighbor's line through my backyard and damaged property. Tore up my yard to bury the line, and cut my Brightspeed line while doing so. I tried contacting them multiple times, they keep saying they'll reach out. Days have gone by and they haven't.

    If I could give less than one star, I would. Had an appointment scheduled for 3-5 to have them come fix an issue that they created when burying the wire. No one showed up. I called, specifically asked for the tech call me. No call. No show. Then they had the nerve to go in and reschedule my appointment for the next day for me to sit there for not two, but three hours this time. Like my time is not valuable. They can just no call no-show. And expect me to wait three hours the next day. Called into Customer Service and said I would like the service fixed today. It’s been a week since I’ve not had Internet. Naturally, kept getting the runaround. Horrible, horrible. Level of incompetency inconsideration.

    We switched to Metronet a few months ago for better Internet at our home. Since switching, we have had our Internet go out completely for days with very little communication or updates on service. My wife and I work from home, so this has been a massive issue for us. Customer service is severely lacking and communication is terrible. I would not recommend this service.

    I've had Metronet ISP for about 2 yrs. I moved from one house to another, they had issues understanding I needed service at the old house kept on for the length of the transition, so they shut off service at my old house. I've been in the new house for a month and a half and came home to no service yesterday. After about 2 hours on the phone being bounced from Customer Service and Tech Support and back again, they tell me to call T-Mobile fiber to reestablish service and call Metronet back again because they've seemed to cancel my service plan for no reason (my account even had a +$14 credit on it). Yep, I did half of that - I called T-Mobile, reestablished service, and started an account with them since Metronet obviously doesn't want my business.

    I switched to Metronet because Spectrum was getting too expensive. I thought metronet would have better wi-fi. The wi-fi was sketchy and dead spots through the house. I was also disgruntled because getting their service involved drilling a hole in my exterior wall and placing a rather large service box on the wall. Now, even though I no longer have metronet, I still have a hole in my exterior wall and a cable line 'buried' barely below the grass surface leading to my house. Making a phone call using wi-fi was very frustrating because of the dead spots throughout the house!

    Billing - even though I had the correct information entered for auto pay, metronet rejected the bank payments. I would have to go in every month and enter them manually. When I spoke to metro they said it was probably something in the wi-fi that rejected my bank. (huh?) So after, dealing with billing issues, and low quality wi-fi I switched back to Spectrum. Canceling was also an issue. I had different information about refund and service date closure. What an irritation metronet has been. I would not recommend them. Unfortunately where we live, we are limited on who can provide service. metronet is not an option.

    Metronet is currently tearing up our small town of Casa Grande Arizona. They literally have every single road torn up and blocked off. Its snowbird season to top it all off. Traffic is terrible!!! They do not repair the sidewalks or the roads correctly. They have no oversight and they are just taking their jolly old time the finish one site yet they have over 30 sites going at once in this small town. It takes 40 minutes to get down the street and back. They have streets blocked off in neighborhoods that they haven't even started on. Whoever is in charge of this needs to be promoted to customer asap!!! Can't even drop the kids off to school in a timely manner regardless of how early we depart from home. The entire town is sick of this. Metronet is not being welcomed kindly here. What a disappointment and disaster.

    Absolutely HORRIBLE first contact experience. Bought a house and closed this past Friday, got told the old owners hadn't canceled their service so they wouldn't even talk to us to start new service. Didn't matter that we have the purchase contract proving we now own the house, didn't matter that the old owner CALLED IN and canceled their service even today. They still said the billing cycle had to complete (!) before the house address would even be freed up for new service! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I don't care what service someone else had, WE OWN THE HOUSE NOW. You wasted several hours of our time and we still ended up going with your competitor just to get working service in time for other services that depend on WiFi to be installed on time. Good grief! I've worked in customer service for over 20 years and have never seen this level of corporate incompetence!

    Had Vexus Internet for years with no issues of outages or payments, and then Vexus sold to Metronet who apparently can't do simple bookkeeping like posting payments. All payments are made via my back who pays the bills for me, but Metronet now say I'm a month late because they lost the payment. I won't pay extra for their failure to do bookkeeping. Already contacted bank and received copies of the checks sent. Advise don't use T-Mobile either because Metronet owns them also. Here's how they work. Send them the payment listed on their paper bill, but they won't post it till next month??? I figure I'm not the only one they've done this to.

    My experience with Metronet has been very disappointing. The service quality is poor, and customer support often seems confused and unable to answer basic questions. In the four months I’ve had the service, there has been an outage every single month. Most recently, the internet has been down on December 29th for over 7 hours, and there were outages on December 16th and again in November. This level of unreliability makes it extremely difficult to depend on their service for work, school, or anything important.

    On top of the constant outages, Metronet has also overcharged me multiple times. My bill has not been consistent since the first month, and I currently have over $90 in credits due to billing errors. That alone shows a lack of organization and accountability. Overall, between the unreliable internet, the monthly outages, the unhelpful customer service, and the billing issues, I cannot recommend Metronet based on my experience.

    Poor customer service is just the start. You will find this out while waiting on hold when you have an issue, as they tell you they are having an outage and there is no need to keep holding. No estimated time of repair. "Beginning stages of the outage," and that's all the CSR knew. Worthless. I will be switching ASAP.

    I am extremely disappointed with Metronet’s cancellation process and customer service. I am moving in a few weeks and called ahead to request that my service be discontinued on a specific date. When I later called to confirm the cancellation, I was told that Metronet does not pre-arrange cancellations. Instead, service is only deactivated after equipment is returned. This policy creates an unnecessary gap where the new homeowners will have no internet or Wi-Fi until they can schedule installation—something that could easily be avoided with basic coordination.

    What made this experience worse was the consistently poor customer service. During my initial cancellation call, I was given incorrect information. The same happened during an online chat and again when I followed up by phone. One representative, April, was rude and unprofessional, using ALL CAPS to emphasize her point rather than explaining the policy clearly. The next representative provided more misinformation, and the final one was disinterested, showed no empathy, and simply repeated, “that’s our policy,” without any attempt to help. To be clear: the internet service itself is good. However, if you ever need customer support—especially for something as basic as a planned move—good luck. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Metronet due to their rigid policies and lack of professional customer service.

    We have had Metronet a little over a year. I provided the usage info when signing up and was told the 100 mbps would be sufficient. It worked great the first 9-10 months then the service started greatly decreasing to intermittent loss of connection, slow connection, freezing up etc. When I called CS they immediately wanted to upgrade to the next tier of 500 Mbps but suggested 1Gbps would probably be best. When I refused they offered a new router free of charge. I took the new router and if anything it is worse. After doing some research on the company, I find they sold to a different company 3-4 months ago which is when the problems started getting noticeably worse. We live in a plat of around 200 houses and speaking with a few neighbors either they or someone they know are having the same issues. I will call again, if the issue is not resolved we will switch providers the first of the year.

    Copperas Cove Tx, Metronet improperly laid fiber across the concrete, leaving it exposed and creating a safety hazard for anyone who might trip over it. This reflects poor workmanship and fundamentally improper fiber placement. When Metronet was contacted, they sent a technician the next day who merely confirmed the issue we had already identified. We were then informed that another team would need to resolve the problem, yet no ETA was provided.

    I also contacted customer service, and instead of offering a timeframe or meaningful assistance for my business, they simply apologized and appeared uninformed. This level of service is unacceptable, and based on my experience, I would caution others against using Metronet. Their customer service and technical support are seriously lacking. Brightspeed might be a better option.

I just got off the phone with them because I'm having problems with one of my cables in my house and they were quite inept. They're asking me if I was going to be home, they refused to give me a time or date. They said I had to answer their question first. How do I know if I'm going to be home if you don't tell me when.

    Our own installation went fairly smoothly. Polite young fellows who did that work. Our problem originated from installation issues our neighbors had (we're in a 4 townhome unit), which affected us, which led to absolutely horrible customer service for our neighbor and us. It took, I believe, 7 attempts at connecting and burying lines to get all 4 of us installed and working correctly (ours was a once and done, though a long wait to have the line buried). On the 6th round, the installer came through our back yard to get to our neighbor's home with a ditch witch type piece of equipment. He tore up our yard, gouging in places at least 8 inches deep. The scar was about 20-25 feet long. It has been over a month of my calling and requesting the damage be repaired.

    I've called at least 4 times. A supervisor who dealt with my neighbor also took pictures of and acknowledged the damage. The 3rd time I called, Rebecca was very short with me when I asked to have a supervisor call me. She kept saying they did not give out supervisor's phone number - not what I asked for. Really poor service that time, though the other folks I spoke with were helpful to the extent they could be.

    After the 4th call, my husband got an email asking us to provide pictures and an estimate of how much it would be to repair the damage, from Jacob Schmidt in Field Operations. Metronet has a CTR number, has the photos, and has not done a bit to get the damage repaired. My husband replied to him reminding him that they have the pics, and it's their responsibility to repair the damage - and not a peep since!! I made a point of letting them know we wanted this repaired before the ground froze....and we now have several inches of snow on the ground.

    There has been absolutely no movement towards repair work. There has been no compensation for the weeks we went without lawn service because of the number of times their cables were left above ground. There's been no compensation for this huge inconvenience. And we still have a massive scar and rut in our yard!! The customer service folks, mostly, who took my calls were polite and tried to be helpful. But those responsible for repairing the damage get a big fat ZERO in my book. If I could rate them no stars I would.

    Past 2 weeks around 730pm CST my 1 GB service slows down to typically 1,5 MB. Every morning after I get speeds around 500 MB. In the evening I have been calling in, I get the bot that goes through all the various checks, and after 5 to 10 minutes the bot says "there is a service disruption in your area and we are working to resolve it". Then the text follows and the bot says, "You can hang up now." Every morning I need to turn off then back on several devices like the printer, fire stick, cameras, etc. Checking with several neighbors finding the same experience. I have had my paid speed connection on Friday and Saturday until around 7:30 pm Sunday when I go through speed reduction again.

    Metronet damaged my front sprinkler line which I repaired due to lack of response from Metronet, their contractor also damaged my back fence breaking my gate and post, Metronet made a low ball offer of 300 dollars which was just the labor cost of the gate and did not include materials or the labor to remove and reinstall the 8 ft sections attached to either gate post…. So at this point Metronet rep Tim Page has told me to take it or leave it, says he needs more photos! He has the photos of the damage that also shows sections attached to the fence but he doesn’t care. Mind you I contacted Metronet 3 weeks before I replaced the back fence asking them to come out but never saw anyone.

    Had Metronet installed at my place and the Internet runs pretty good but we have had other issues. Contacted support to find that my router was never registered and they could not find it in the system. Two weeks after install and my drop is still laying on the ground in my back yard. I had to contact them to find out that somehow my burry had been canceled with no explanation as to why or how so it looks like my internet line will sit laying across my backyard for another whole week. I thought two weeks was kind of pushing it and then I get told it would be closer to three week's. They have no system of accountability and is why things are not being taken care of properly and as a paying customer I have not been happy with any of this so far.

    I was really looking forward to fiber internet after dealing with Spectrum, what a disappointment! Their advertisement was $70 for 1 gig and $80 for 2 gig, so much for the first thirty days before the pricing starts it's upward spiral. I thought I had signed up for two years service at 2 gigs, no install fee, ach, billing it all look to good to be true. Guess what I was!! Good thing they had a problem with installing it to my home network however in the interim I got access my "Customer Portal" access to billing and saw what I was really going to get billed for, wasn't even close. If you need customer service be prepared for a long wait and not answers just the "Script - Thank you for your business"!! Needless to say I'm back a Spectrum and looking seriously at the "Starlink" option. Hope this saves somebody from the heartburn that I got from Metronet.

    It's hard to believe this company can be so stupid to come through new neighborhoods installing fiber, hoping for people to sign up and then treat homeowners' property so poorly. They dug six holes in my yard and threw partial clumps of sod back down, spread straw pieces all over and called it good. Didn't even bother to water it in our 90-degree temps. Myself and numerous homeowners now have long strips of dead grass all over our yard. In addition, they put two boxes in my small yard and none in any of my neighbor's yard after they told me that only one box was going in my yard. The one big box they put right in my landscaping and it looks hideous.

    In addition, they seem to have disposed of a whole bunch of my landscaping rocks that I paid for. They've already had people out digging in the box numerous times since install and every time, they throw more of my landscaping rocks into my grass along with bolts and other dirt and they just walk away and leave me with a mess repeatedly.
