The internet provider people hate the most is the internet provider they currently use.

We have 2 internet options. Centurylink and Comcast. No one likes either one. So then what??? Love the bitching on Nextdoor-trainwreck. No one is ever happy. Not complaining about groves.

With Spectrum, I'm getting 475 mbps. AT&T is offered in my area but it's only "up to" 25 mbps so that's not even an option. I have a feeling that by the time there's fiber available in my area, I'll have long moved by then. |

I have AT&T, and they suck, but I've had such bad experiences with Comcast in the past that I simply refuse to ever use them again.

I've had Cox for probably 20 years, only this year has there been a problem with regular outages. I get it, the pandemic has put demands on the providers like never before. Hoping if anything like this year happens again the lesson was learned how to keep people online.

For example, we have 4 people at home using the internet everyday from 7am to 10pm, whereas normally, it's just one person most of the day. Multiply that by hundreds of people in the same neighborhood and it causes outages. The only way to correct these outages is for the internet providers to build brand new nodes that can handle higher levels of traffic but that's a huge, costly expense. |
