Our internet was installed quickly and easily. The technicians helped us troubleshoot in order to put the router and wires in our desired location. We have rarely contacted customer service, but on the occasions we have, our issues have been resolved in a relatively timely and friendly manner. Overall our internet speed is sufficient for our needs, and we use it a lot! From time to time we have slowed or spotty connectivity but it usually resolves itself or by restarting the router.

For my Verizon Fios internet, I paid for 100 megabytes per second but it gives me around 60 megabytes. It's okay, but not great. I need better internet speed because that's what I paid for. Internet installation, though, was easy. I just called up Verizon and they sent somebody over quickly and did it. I didn't have to do anything, they did it all for me. Customer service was very good. I needed help with my internet because it was kind of unreliable. It varies from really fast to slow to not working at all. I don't understand why it does this. So, I called them up and they fixed it. It wasn't a robot or anything, so it was very helpful. They gave me some help with my internet so now it's better.

The internet service of Verizon Fios was a decent connection. A better signal would be great but it wasn't slow too much. Also, the price should be lower and if anything it would be more of a recommendation for me to give others. The speed to get internet was ok especially around the beginning of when bill is paid, although it can be really slow by the middle end of the month when it's almost time to pay again. Installation was easy because on your device all you would have to do is to go to network, find the hot spot's name, click on it or manually input the username and password. Once inputted press "Connect" and from there you're all done. There was no need to even call Customer Service for help. I just figured things out on my own.

I never had any issues with the service or billing during the last 2 and a half years I had the service. It never loses signal and response to emails are prompt. Installation was flawless and not intrusive. No one came inside the house, and they sent the wi-fi box in a timely manner and secured the connection with strong passwords. The installation did not interfere with my schedule of work and they walked me through the steps to set up the wi-fi box. Customer service is not completely flawless, but it is adequate. There is more automation than I would like and I prefer to talk to a human being, but eventually they do. I had a couple of disappointing cases where the representative was not very helpful, but overall is not bad. The speed could be faster. It is adequate but if one needs something faster this may not be for them.

The reliability could be better but is still really good. The internet speed could be better, too, but I guess I could live with it. When I tried it on my iPad it wasn't as fast as I thought it might be. I may use another internet service provider about a year from now but for now I guess I will keep this one. The installation was really easy and I could plug it in and figure it out in less than ten minutes. I think this is the best installation I have used on the internet. The customer service was great and they even gave me a bundle with my internet router and cables. I would definitely recommend this to one of my friends.

Verizon Fios is the new craze with faster internet connection and thousands of TV channels to chose from, to make all family members happy and satisfied. I am very satisfied and happy with the internet speed I have and would recommend Verizon Fios over any other company. The speed of the internet service is quite important for anyone who uses the internet at home, or away from home. People rely on quick service when using the internet.
When I requested installation of Verizon Fios to my home I was greeted with a kind, helpful, and prompt technician. The technician was very knowledgeable about Verizon Fios and put my mind at ease regarding my decision to order the package from Verizon. I am very pleased and satisfied thus far. However, I have had some issues in the past with customer service representative not being able to help me with issues over channel packages and removing package choices. Some confusion and frustration did occur. But other than that, the service and company is reliable, trustworthy and dependable.

Installation was a breeze and the instructions were rather simple and customer service was always ready to help when problems or questions arose. They make me feel like a human being not just another account number and is always eager to solve any issues I may have as well as being proactive in any future concerns. If there ever is a problem I'm able to get it resolved rather quickly... this service is great as we have but 2 other choices for Internet in my area. The speed has never been slower than I have needed and is very compare able to other services in this area. Very few slow downs or spinning circles.

Installation was wonderful and fast, easy to schedule with no issues and never had a complaint. Also, I received great customer service, even though I very rarely had to use it, any kind of contact I had with the verizon people was very helpful and welcoming so I was very pleased with everything they gave me. Verizon provides very reliable, fast and extremely good service. I would recommend this to anyone that is considering getting Verizon as its services cannot be beat. Trust me, I have tried them all and nothing at all compares. The internet is lightning fast, faster than a Mexican swimming across the border, faster than Flash himself. I play all kinds of online games and never had any kind of speed issues.

Myself and all others that I know that have used Fios have pretty consistently reliable speeds and service. Our household has many devices active at all times and we rarely have any hiccups in speed. Customer service is always available and able to respond to issues. And the installation went about as well as could be expected. Technician was helpful and on time.

Everything was up and running in no time. The installer made sure that I understood how everything worked & was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Excellent and extremely reliable customer service. What few interruptions in service there were, they were quickly restored by the end of the phone call. Their employees are always helpful & very friendly. Their internet speed is much faster than my previous cable/internet provider. Movies & games stream smoothly, with no interruptions. Also the speed never slowed, even with multiple devices attached.

My internet service provider is extremely reliable and easy to contact when I encounter any kind of issues. They are courteous and quick to help fix whatever issues I may face so I'm happy with their reliability. Their customer service is extremely professional, kind and courteous. Also, I was very pleased with the installation process. It worked perfectly and was quick and efficient. The installers were easy to talk to and answered all of my questions and made sure I understood. The internet speed is amazing. I'm able to watch or stream long YouTube videos or movies on Netflix, and others are able to do the same without buffering issues. The speed allows me to talk to people online easily as well.

Great customer service. The representatives were very friendly and helpful. Very dependable and always made sure that I was happy as a customer. The installation process was smooth and quick. They explained everything and made sure that things were running how they were supposed to be. Browsing was simple and easy. Compared to other internet providers Verizon is one of the top providers as far as internet speed. It was very fast and connection was always strong and I rarely was unable to use the internet. I was able to rely greatly on Verizon's internet service and I knew that each attempt would be successful.

Verizon Fios cuts in and out without warning and often speed will drop to non-usable without warning as well. However when it does work it works well. It was a quick and easy installation process that happened within two to three days of signing up for the new plan through Verizon Fios and only took a few hours to complete without disrupting the day much at all. They are always eager to correct a problem and waiting time when calling for help usually is not too long. I would say they are about average compared to other companies however and do not particularly stand out for any excellence in customer service. The speed works occasionally and works well, but the majority of the time it is not even worth using and causes videos to buffer endlessly.

Speed was adequate for my use but I understand now, based on advertising, Fios download speed is slower than other ISPs. Since the house was already cable ready all they had to do was set up the fiber optics box w/ the backup battery. The technician then went around to all TVs, laptops & cell phones to establish the WiFi connections. I had a Verizon bundle package, internet, phone & cable. The landline never worked properly. The problem with that was if they discovered the problem was from the inside, I would be charged, $65/hr, to correct problem. If the problem was inside shouldn't that have been discovered when they set up the equipment?
Fios users beware. I used to have Fios but was making a move. Since I still had time on my contract it was suggested, by the customer service rep, that I suspend my service, keep the equipment & once settled call Verizon to re-establish my services. That's what I did. I'm in my new spot, equipment hooked up and ready to go. Call Verizon customer support to have my service re-established at my new location. There were several discrepancies about what I had been previously told when I suspended the service. Verizon indicated that my account had been terminated for failure to pay and was being sent to collections. They alleged I owed Verizon $1500 for equipment, that they told me to keep, and services. What services?!?!
My account was suspended. Verizon charges you $35/month to keep your phone number. Needless to say none of this was explained to me in the beginning. Furthermore, Verizon alleged that I had an outstanding balance when I suspended my services. Ultimately I returned the equipment and my account was credited. I had to find the final bill to prove I paid because Verizon's system wasn't showing this payment. In regards to the $35/month service fee, had it been explained, I would have told them it was not my concern about being issued a new number. Based on this experience I will make every effort NOT to be Verizon customer again. Horrible experience!

Verizon provides internet that is fast and feels safe but it sometimes suddenly cuts off which proves to be very annoying because we would then have to restart the whole computer and power cord. Speed is satisfying but sometimes it lags though most times it can run through smoothly. Installation was fast and easy. We had people come over to do the job. Installation has been most satisfying part in the whole Verizon internet service. Customer service was quick and easy to get into contact with. Most of the customer services were able to solve the problem quickly and effectively.

We live in a suburb, but it is VERY close to "RURAL." The speed and efficiency of the Verizon system is unmatched by any previous company. We rarely have outages (3 or less per year) and the speed is great. We do not have lag, nor glitches. Our technician was in and out within 2 hours for the installation. We were provided detailed explanations of all the equipment, as well as the numbers for Tech Support, in case of a major problem. We are contacted by Customer Service to advise of services that would benefit our plan. We are given information that will help us maximize our usage, without maximizing our cost. We are notified if there are to be changes to the service, whether it is related to billing, or system-wide updates. These people are professional, reliable, and knowledgeable of the service. The courtesy given during a call is exemplary.

Super fast internet, great wifi coverage, no drops in service, and is always up! I have 75 megs upload/download speeds and it is enough to stream HD content to 4 TVs at once. Installation was super fast. The installer was in and out! He just had to install a main unit because our house was already wired for FIOS. After the unit was installed he helped set up wifi on all devices, which was very simple. Every time I call Verizon the service is quite unbelievable! Not a long time with automated, you get an actual person quickly and they seem to always help you come to a fast and reliable solution.

The installation was fast easy and the technician was on time. It was a good experience and everything works well. We have not experienced any issues with the installation. Their customer service is responsive to phone calls and they have helpful technicians. I wish they would show up at more specific times but that is an industry wide issue. Compared to competitors Verizon service is great. I rarely have issues with the connection. The only times it goes out is if there is an area outage and that is very rare. Verizon Fios is very reliable. Very fast download times on both Wi-Fi and over the cable. If you download videos or games its very nice to have a high speed connection like this.

The installer showed up on time and everything went as expected. He was also responsible and respectful of his surroundings. The customer service was as expected from someone that you would talk to. There was no issues or snags along the way so it was all good. The internet speed is top notch. Everything that I would expect from a company that advertises that they are one of the better companies out there. It constantly works without any issues, no outages longer than an hour. Overall the best that I have used. I would highly recommend Verizon Fios to someone else.

We use Fios for Internet and television, and my only complaint is the cost. We only have basic on tv and pay over $200 a month. We did not have any problems and the installer was very friendly. He came, did his job and left in a timely manner. I only have called customer service twice, but the first time, the rep did not know what she was doing. She was not knowledgeable at all. The second rep was helpful and made good suggestions. The speed is good, but it could be better.

They are very reliable. We have called before due to a line cut and they came in two days to fix it for us. They also solve problems pretty fast over the phone. They are quick to fix issues without causing problems to the customer. The only big wait is for you get to talk to someone but it still has never gone over 15 minutes. We hooked up our router ourselves with them over the phone since our house already had a Verizon box. It was simple and took about 20 minutes. We have the second highest speed due to being gamers. I like it but notice a lot lately that I am getting less than I paid for. It hasn't turned into too big of an issue yet.

Verizon is fast speed internet. Upload and download speeds are beyond par and set higher standards for other provider's. Other services I have had are super slow and make me want to throw my computer out the window. It is also rare that I have issues with signal or speed with Verizon Fios. In the event of an issue, there are many steps you can take to fix it and customer service is there with you every step of the way. Customer service is great and it is extremely easy to get on the phone with a real person. If you are not in the mood to speak to a representative that automated system also works very well. And then installation is easy, professional and you do not have a bunch of wires hanging around and showing. They put in a white box that controls everything which is usually in the garage or somewhere out of site. There are no eye sores with Verizon.

Verizon gives you options to select the most convenient time for you and the assigned technician contacts you before coming for installation. Installation didn't take much time and the installers are good at explaining the features. I have had consistent reliable internet connection and I am satisfied with my service. I haven't had any service outage problem with my internet connection since my switch to Verizon Fios. The speed is also pretty good to stream movies and videos. I am happy with my connection speed. You may wait for a while, though, until you get a hold to a customer representative by phone. However, they are responsive and available at late night hours. Verizon customer representatives were always able to help me and resolve my service related issues.

Verizon sent out a friendly agent that was very professional, clean, well-mannered, and knew what he was doing! Installation was done in a timely manner. Our internet service is always dependable even during storms, inclement weather, or when it seems that others go down because of the harsh weather conditions! I've used ones that always crashed or became very slow! Also, the 4G is definitely faster than anything else out there, it's very dependable and is consistently one of the leaders in the speed category for internet! Customer service were also pleasant and handled everything efficiently. The time waiting on hold could have been a little less but other than that it went very well.

Verizon's installation was great. They did everything that was promised and were very friendly, helpful and thorough. They asked a lot of helpful questions and gave a lot of good advice. Also, the speed is without doubt what it is claimed to be. Very fast, no delays, freezing-even web multiple internet tabs are open. Pages load quickly and rarely stop responding, unless its an issue with the website itself.
They had been trying to get us to get Fios for quite some time. We explained the current situation we were in, including being behind in the current bill and was told that would be wiped away (which was hard to believe but they insisted). We were then told a different story. Hence, even higher behind in the bill. They lied about pretty much everything and then waited months after being behind in the bill to cut us off and charge us for all those months we couldn't even use!

I had no problems with the installation. You're able to call and quickly get a representative to help. I received a Router and 3 filters along with the 2 prong cord. It did work quite well... and then you could go wireless from there as I have a laptop. You don't get a disc if you're wondering. None was needed. Also, the people are helpful. However, I'm dissatisfied with the internet service because when I first started I was supposed to be locked in for a certain amount and it slowly went up to 50 dollars more a month.
Another thing that upset me was that I have had trouble with my outside wiring during heavy rains or snow or just windy. They sent someone here and they more or less "patch" the wires which will be fine but only for a few months and it's back to not being able to use the internet until they fix it again. I believe I've had servicemen here 4 times in 2 years. This last time it went on by itself. Otherwise I would have to wait 3 days for someone to come to the house.
Also, internet download speed is slow. Web browsing should be fine, but videos could load slowly. And mine does. It will stop and the loading circle will show and then continue at least 5 or 6 times. This is just watching something from YouTube. Download speed is how fast information can be transferred to you. It affects things like how long it takes to download large files or display webpages with lots of images. Download speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Mine is reading 2.88. The best Internet connections have high download and upload speeds but low latency.

The installer was quick and explained as much as he could. There were still some things he forgot to tell us but we picked up pretty quickly. Overall it was a good experience. Sometimes the internet would work, sometimes it would take a really long time. If a bunch of people were on the internet it was so much slower than normal it wasn't worth using. Their customer service was quick to add things but not so helpful when you wanted to remove items they bundled in.

Verizon has a good and fast connection. You see the difference right away when you switch. It's great for streaming video and playing games online. The speed of the internet ranges from good to great. I had very few problems with the strength and endurance of the connection. The service was installed without any problems.

The technician came in the window provided beforehand and successfully installed FIOS. I was happy with the service and have not had problems since then. The speed is LTE-4G and is plenty fast for my purposes. Even though I use a phone purchased in the U.K. the service works well and I have no complaints. Very few times it went out and the technicians on call are very helpful.

It took a long time to get an installation appointment but when they got here the technician was very efficient and knowledgeable. It took about 30 minutes to complete the installation. It was sometimes difficult to get customer service to address your need with all the automated choices. It takes sometime to actually speak to a person rather than a computer. The representatives are friendly though. Verizon connects very fast, and covers wide area of your home with no dead zones. It works in bad and good weather. It can connect many devices as well. It has great speed and that is the best thing about Verizon Fios. It logs on to internet sites with tremendous speed for a ISP.

I would recommend to others who are sick of the single cable options in your areas and Fios is a great option. Installation and service techs are very knowledgeable and work in a timely fashion. The installation was very smooth and the tech was friendly. The tech was very prompt, thorough and took time to cover his shoes so he did not track dirt on the carpet. The customer service dept was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. The person I talked with helped me, answered all my questions and also gave me suggestions. There are no issues with overload or speed and if you download music and games, this speed is what you need. The connection is far and never fails. The fastest internet I have ever had.

Didn't have any problems with billing or service. The price was the only turn-off. My son was happy with his TV. I do lot of online gaming with my son and we never had speed problems when gaming online together. The speed wasn't an issue. It wasn't the fastest I'd seen but I never had a problem. The installation as I remember was fast and easy. The gentleman seemed experienced at what he was here to do. Don't remember getting a decent time frame of arrival but can't complain.

We used to have Comcast, the Verizon service is much better and we were loyal customers until Verizon proved they can't be trusted. Verizon recently hosed us royally. We had a problem with our service, bad optical to analog converter box. The guy on the tech support line said, "Hey you're due for an upgrade, I can add channels, swap out your old equipment and your price will drop $20 per month with our new package." I was skeptical and said I'd think about it. He replied, "Well you can do that but if you don't like the package you can cancel it and go back to your old plan within 30 days. So you have nothing to lose." I thought what the hell and did it.
The new equipment came, the service is great. The new channels are awesome. Then I get this notice in the mail saying my new bill is $300 per month but for 24 months I have a $120 per month discount and that in 24 months my bill will be $300. So I called Verizon and said, "Hey, you suckered me. My bill isn't $20 less. It's $100 more, I want my old plan back." He said it's not possible to go back to my old plan because it doesn't exist in the system, it's not even possible to select it.
So here it is 18 months or so away and I'm researching cutting the cord and going internet only (with Comcast or Broad Stripe) when the contract runs out.

Uptime is great, and downloads and video streaming are fast and consistent. It's reliable and it's never let me down when I needed it. I've never had anything to complain about and I would highly recommend them on this front.

We had a "grandfathered in" service due to not having a home phone, I think called a data line. Very reliable and able to run many devices without buffering. Installation was awesomely easy (but previous owners let us take over their account). All we had to do was call and change into our name and Verizon sent us a router. We were ecstatic when first signed up. Speed test showed fast service at 12 mbps then it started dropping after a few months. By the time they sold to Frontier we were barely showing 3 mbps. Every time my husband called Customer Service it would take between twenty minutes to an hour and being switched to many departments before being told that speed was same as before (despite speed test proving we had dropped from 12 to 3 mbps).

The technician who installed our Internet was professional and helpful. He set up our TV and all of our devices to work with the Verizon system. When he finished he confirmed that everything worked properly prior to leaving. Service is reliable and I have never had a problem connecting to the Internet and the speed is fast enough for me to get my work completed. My husband and daughter are able to access their tablets with little slowdown. I do not have the fastest speed available and that would have been far more expensive than I would have wanted to pay. I have also only called customer service once, and the representative was very helpful. She answered all of the questions that I asked and confirmed that I understood and my equipment was working properly.

Never a problem customer service could not handle. They were polite professional and courteous. Once In a while I reset the modem or have a tech remotely do it for me and no charge to me as it's included. I have multiple net devices running at the same time and have not noticed slowdown even at peak hours. There is even a way for me to use my laptop to check speed performance.

FIOS is a reliable provider from delivery to customer service. The service fits well with my desktop and devices including android. Plus the speed is sufficient for my usage. I have no need to upgrade for the purposes of tech speed. The speed with regard to assistance and repair is well within normal service response time frames.
The installer was competent and professional. All requested boxes and the access box were installed within the timeframe quoted. I was assisted with setting up the login and sign in associated with the internet and emails. Also, customer service is professional and patient.

Verizon Fios is pretty reliable because it has a big range and the internet does not slow down. If it does slow down, all you need to do is reset it and you're good to go. It can be helpful to others. It installs apps quickly. It depends on how big the file is though. If it is a big file it will take longer. If it is a smaller file it will take a short time. The customer service is nice. They listen carefully of your problem and try to help you the best way they can. If there are no solution to the problem, they will try to make a deal. The speed is very fast and it is reliable. Of course it is not as effective as you go closer to the mountains where there is less connection therefore less speed.

It was very fast Internet speed compared to other Internet providers. But, with that being said, it comes at a steep cost, which at least in my area is a bit steep compared to the other Internet providers. The service was only down a couple times. Compared to other providers it was average on the reliability scale. Because of this and the higher expense, I decided to change Internet providers. If the cost was better, I might consider giving them another try. I would rate Verizon Fios and all other Internet provides three stars. I really think they can do better by training their staff more. This would be the fault of management not giving their employees all the tools necessary to make the customer service the best it could be.

However, customer service was the worst I've ever dealt with. I called on a Sunday and spoke with someone from foreign country that was very nice and took all of my information, offered an installation date, gave me a confirmation code and told me to log in to a "what happens next" website to check in my order over the next few days. Well it never showed up and when I called a few days later the rep was not able to find any record of my call even though there was clearly money taken from my checking account. After 3 attempts to have a rep sent out for installation I was sent to an actual Verizon office to pick my own equipment but the rep there said there was nothing in notes and he was not able to help me. It ends up taking over a month to get service as many customer service departments dropped the ball. One department can't see what another department has spoke to a customer about one day earlier.
Once I got past all of the errors and promised customer service made over the phone (offering reference numbers and installation dates only to find on the day scheduled that the order disappeared on several occasion). Once a rep made it out for installation it was smooth and he was very nice. Made it very easy and explained everything thoroughly!

We were one of the first to get Verizon FiOS in my rural area. The installers came out and got us hooked up out to the road. They were nice and patient, and courteous, and very professional while they were installing it. Verizon was good before they became Frontier. Now it's slow and always needs to be reset. Can't always watch videos now and they don't fully load. The speed is a little slower than I would like to have. Sometimes it seems slower than other times, but it's not completely slow. It costs too much to pay for the highest speed you can get, so it's really not Verizon's fault as far as my happiness goes.

I unknowingly signed up with Verizon Fios in November 2015. Big mistake. If I knew then what I know now of how customers are treated I would have never considered them as an option. I was told discounts would be applied to my account for a total of 12 months starting from December 2015 until December 31st, 2016. I called every month questioning why the discount was not applied and was assured during each call that I would not have to call the following month. That was a lie. Eight months into having to do this, the discount was finally applied. Now yet again in the new year, I am dealing with the same issues. When I call I have to "secure" my account by providing a temporary "pin", which I had already established over a year ago.
Today I spoke with Vanessa, Sam, Joe and Chad. I requested to speak with a manager 10x while speaking with Vanessa at 5:20pm 2/19/17, who blatantly stated that she would not allow me to speak with a manager unless I provided full details of my issue. At that point, poor customer service became the second issue that I was calling on. I provided slight details regarding "credit" matters and was then told by Vanessa that CSRs and Managers are on the same level so there's no need to transfer me to one. I disconnected that call and spoke with Chad at 5:26pm. He stated that he needed to secure my account with a pin. For some reason (a mysterious one), my call was dropped.
I called back and got Sam at 5:31pm who basically repeated what Vanessa stated. She said she would place me on hold until I realize and understand she would not be transferring me to Management. I advised her that refusing to allow me to speak with a superior upon requesting one over 10x is illegal and not a part of Verizon Fios' customer service. Needless to say, I think Mr. Lowell McAdam needs to take into consideration the types of non-professional staff that is employed by Verizon. It's an insult to see commercials of how Verizon Fios offers better services than its competitors yet the staff is nowhere near equipped to handle the public appropriately. You can surely believe I will never use this service again. I was dumb enough to get my nana signed up and now I am about to have her services disconnected and sign her up with Time Warner.

The people I was talking to at Verizon Fios were useful, kind and nice, they did not get frustrated when I would ask them questions. My experience was very good. The internet speed was fast for me, it did not make me wait for more than 3 minutes. I know some people don't like waiting for things to load so I would recommend this internet service to those people. Because the internet provider was good, I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family, never use a different one, and always stay with it.

The house we recently purchased was already wired for Fios so we received our equipment in the mail with easy to follow instructions. I had some trouble with setting it up but one phone call corrected all the issues and the service tech stayed on the phone with me until everything was perfect. The gentleman who helped me was fantastic, spoke English, very knowledgeable, very patient and efficient. Helped me through all my problems. We are usually on it in the evenings and always have multiple devices running at the same time and never have any delay in download speeds or any buffering. Couldn't ask for anything to be faster than what we currently have.

I never actually struggle with Verizon Fios. I have always had a good experience with Fios, and I'm incredibly happy that I've made the switch. The installation took quite a bit of time, but the people were friendly, did it as quick as they could aside from the slight problem we had with the fire. Customer service here is wonderful!!! Everybody is exceptional, friendly, probably the nicest people I've spoken to. Every other cable company provides a hassle, while Fios did amazing. However, the speed could be better.

I rarely have to call for any service and we almost never lose connectivity. Wi-Fi is very fast even with multiple devices that are always connected. Our home was already wired for FiOS so we didn't have an installation. However, it was done properly and they were able to connect our service right away. I have had to call a few times for different reasons. The customer service department is always friendly and willing to help in any way they can. We were having speed issues at one time and upgraded our service package. Now, it never takes longer than a few seconds to download anything and the upload speeds are fast as well.

My internet was installed a couple days after I called them. The installer was very professional and got me hooked up with no problems. He made sure everything worked great before he left. The internet always works and never a problem. Every time I use it, it works great and never lets me down. The speeds they gave me are so fast. I never have any problems or slow speed. If I ever have a problem with my service, they are always there to help me. They will check my connection remotely to let me know if anything is right. I would recommend to anyone looking for good cable connection. It's the best.

Installation was efficient and done professionally. No issues with damage or too much time taken to install and they were clear with what they would be doing. Also, on each occasion when I had to contact customer service, the reps were friendly, but not always clear (foreign call center). There were also upsell attempts which were annoying, but not bad overall. Although relatively reliable, I'm not confident that the service speed is as advertised. There is often lagging when streaming, which is particularly annoying when trying to watch a movie. But I have not had any major issues. Occasional outages have occurred and I've had to contact them a few times when service failed, but repair usually occurs relatively fast.
