Which companies have the BEST and WORST Internet? | Internet Service Providers | @BigRobEnergy 

I have spectrum and my internet timed out trying to hit the like button. LOL

We need competitive streamers to give us some answers

I came here to get answers not to give them

Man cricket is so fire never watched a video so crispy on 144p in my life with out using cricket

I think a lot of people are using the supplied router that comes with them. A new third party one is a lot better.

Most people will probably tell you to ditch the Wi-Fi/modem combo. Get a compatible one and setup your own access points for Wi-Fi. A switch for wired connections. A learning curve but your life will appreciate the quality.

Run a program called ping plotter to look into the diagnostic route of your internet connection it'll show you what servers you are lagging on relay that information over to your ISP and have them have them send a tech to change the route of your connection

Verizon fios gig worked perfectly well with me. Actually have no issues at all. 1016/1019 speed test download/upload, and like 12 devices hooked up. Had it for like 2 to 3 years so far.

Spectrum works fine for me until someone blows a circuit breaker down the road

"At least that's what my wife told me." 🤣

Xfinity literally wrecks you on cable prices but as for their internet it's top tier.

I switch to frontier yesterday I used to have optimum Internet and they suck slow Internet not getting what we paid for if we switch to fiber-optic under of them it would’ve been more expensive so we switch to frontier fiber-optic cheaper faster better my recommendation is frontier it’s my opinion also, the guy that installed it was very nice. he came in a bucket truck, and he was very professional he was excellent 👍

Verizon is fairly good, with five people in my house using wifi at a time, I can play warzone with no lag. There are some days when I have a lot of lag though

BrightSpeed took over CenturyLink......and now I’m on Day 5 of an internet outage. Their customer service portal doesn’t even work. Conclusion....BrightSpeed is total garbage.

I got the 1gb internet from xfinity and its awesome never had a problem even through nasty storms

Fuc- spectrum they jacked up the rate to 90 a month for internet

I use Xfinity and I can't think of any problems in the last couple years. Pretty good to me!

I actually started going door to door working for at&t and they offer fiber optic internet connections. They offer some options, but the 1000/1000 offers the most at a locked in price of $80. I came here to get answers since I'm responsible for providing information and setting up installation appointments.

I have AT&T fiber optic and it’s amazing never had problems with it Plus I hook up a lane cable to my PlayStation my internets moving at breakneck speed‘s

The main issue I see is people that have used the same internet provider for years are afraid of trying new internet. The systems we use today almost require fast internet speed. At least 200mbs for gaming. My parents don't understand internet needs to be faster and they stick with the old 28mbs trash. I keep telling them that they are paying for overpriced trash internet when they could be paying the same for one of the best internet speeds available right here in town. My parents keep telling my brother and I "Well we are good with what we have" hard headed talk as they complain about it everyday. It honestly makes me laugh. They ignore my smarter financial suggestions thinking they know better. Everyone just get better internet and make smarter choices so your not financially struggling and complaining.

Had xfinity w/ mobile for 6 years and its always been great, 500+mbps almost always

The issue is where you live if you live near towers, you're going to get good connection, but if you're in a more outlying rural area then you're not gonna have as good of a connection as some people

Who in the heck names their internet company "COX", wtf lol

I use midco and i get 750 down and 50 up. I live in a rural area in north dakota so there is like only 2 broadband internet providers, plus cellular and satellite. Only downside of midco is the dumb setting changes they do to the modem/router, but buying your own router and turning off the inbuilt wifi solves that problem

Xfinity has been amazing for me in Colorado. Great tech support staff and immediate response to downtime that occurred. Lastly a decently generous data cap and the speeds have been very consistent.

I have spectrum and up until recently the service has been really good. We have 4 Xbox consoles, 2 ps5's, nintendo switch, 4 laptops, 4 smartphones, an echo 5, an echo dot, google nest mini, ring doorbell and a chromebook. Downloads are pretty fast and streaming is smooth. For the most part, everything has been operating seamlessly. My only complaint is that in the past couple of months there have been a lot of service outages.

Just gotta make sure you have fiber optic connection the company doesnt matter as long as they provide fiber optic. I get 1000 over 1000

I’ve got spectrum and it’s the best yet. I haven’t had a problem and I’ve had it for 5 years. Once in a while there will be an outage but that’s rare. I have many devices connected to it also. Two Xbox series x and s, 2-5 phones, 3 tvs, printer, 2 laptops, and many more and I have no problems.

I have had AT&T Gigabit fiber for three and a half years and have never had a single issue.

Starlink. It used to drop out for about 5-10% of the day. in the Four Corners area in spring 2023 and fall 2023. Then it got more reliable to where there’s no more outages. I used it for gaming and ping as low as 65 ms. Typically it’s 120 ms.

Frontier is good and they are pretty chill if you miss a payment

I’ve got to tier Xfinity. It’s expensive, but I have 1 gigabit download speed and rarely have outages and have been very happy. 2 UHD TV’s and one HD TV can stream movies simultaneously whilst someone else games and we’re all on our phones

I used to have wave, it was okay, I got like 20 ping in warzone, now I use xfinity, soooo good!

Had the new frontier fiber for 6 months now. So,far its been great. From $180 a month with optimum to $40.

for someone who lives in a rural area centruylink is awful, they give you less they what you should be getting I'm supposed to getting around 100 mpbs but we are getting 10 at most, horrible customer service (I'm not saying they have to call right away but don't leave us on call for 3 fucking hours then hang up) people who live in cities have it good since there are so much options.

I have At&t and this mess has caused me to miss tutoring sessions, live events, and gaming connects with my homie. Absolute garbage

Man, at this point I'am about get me internet router at my local Walmart

AT&T is absolutely going down hill now, service outages left and right and it feels like u get service is very specific areas in cities while my friends get it wherever we go in the city

I live in Florida and get almost no lag playing with friends in places like the UK and I use xfinity

I have AT&T fiber. I am on the verge of going back to spectrum. It's great when it's working. Easily seeing 1065/1020 on my plan and I have grandfathered HBO max included. I have had 5 downtime experiences in 2 years of more than 3 days. That is more than I have ever had In my lifetime with many companies like Spectrum/Xfintiy/Cox/Frontier. Spectrum has fiber to my home. It used to be 1000/500 now it's 1000/1000 thinking about switching. It's also just a plain modem and not a combo unit. I have issues with double Nat with atts router combo unit.

Optimum is pretty good in fact I would say they are the best.

Paying for 300 up/down on att fiber. Hovers closer to 400. No issues pretty happy with it.

Xfinity is what my family uses and has amazing

Spectrum was great in Austin. Was gigabit, had great wifi, hit over a gig when plugged into router with cat6. AT&T was good in Pasadena Tx. Never had only issues. Gigabit fiber again. Reliable. Great speed with no drop out. Xfinity/Comcast was great unless you tried getting customer service on the line. Gigabit again, never had any service issues.

I have great wifi, I’m literally on the second floor and across the house from my router and I never dip down past 3 bars…. I use COX

People don’t praise their internet when it works, we take it for granted. But when our internet doesn’t work….. that’s whole different story.

In a room abt 20 ft away, yet my AT&T router decides to give me 1 bar :/

I believe it really depends on the area I currently switched to frontier from spectrum and it has been awesome my speeds are 1000/1000 and reliable but I have heard people complain about Frontier. Frontier is my local provider and offer fiber. So I believe someone should just research and look for a better local provider and speeds :D

I live in a second story house and i can’t watch Netflix easily 😂

I’m a fiber installer. AT&T and frontier are the only companies any of you should be trying to get. The others are cable to the home instead of fiber

My download speeds are like 150, yet when I actually download anything it's like, 16.... Gigablast my ass.

Spectrum works great for me no problems

I love my Verizon 5g home plus wireless internet. It works good for me. Fast and no problems at all.

I have Xfinity and I literally stopped having service issues when I finally moved out of my old apartments. When I moved away from those terrible apartments my user experience with Xfinity shot up and I haven’t had any problems since. Maybe 1 outage and that was late in the night. The air is even better over here and I sleep better at night because their aren’t arguments or idiots. I even have a better job now. I’m sorry, you guys don’t understand- I hated where I used to live and it just seemed like everything got extremely better after that lol

No Internet is good when you live out the sticks

I had spectrum...it's great 500mbps down/20mbps up. I switch to frontier 500mbps down/500 Mbps up. It's awesome. I switch for the more upload and cheaper. Had spectrum for close to 30 yrs...didn't have any other to choose. Their service is consistence, when there is a hurricane; I lose it. Beside that it is good. Frontier finally available. All their equipment is generator backup. I have battery backup at my house...so I shouldn't lose my service even in a hurricane. Let's see when that times come.

Spectrums on the spectrum ngl

Fiber optic is the best way to go if they offer it in your area. Always have your technicians centralize your modem installation in your home and not his way first. Purchase your own Wi-Fi mesh router (3 pods should be perfect) to get the best coverage all around your home.

It's not your internet that sucks. It's your router

Well my family uses windstream as we live out in the country so we have to pay like $30 to have pretty good internet; like I’m sitting here and I have a full wifi signal. And we two different channels, one is for most utilities and the second one is for the use of recreational or being online. And the two channels come from a WiFi router 6 feet away from me that is attached to a disk with an underground durable cable.

In Canada we have lightning fast internet, I am with Shaw and Telus, they're pretty much the same but Shaw is a lil better (Telus is setup at my mother's)

I have Frontier FIOS and it rocks. Constant speeds up and down 500mb real unlimited.

The ultimate solution: Get the hell out of America and head to Europe or Australia, internet improves 200x.

I have att theyre good in a way that if you are computer savy you can just upgrade and keep it pretty maintianed then its right there with xfinity. Even simple stuff like resets and ironically keeping the windows in your house closed.

Spectrum in Tampa has always been TRASH. Outages once a month. Frontier here in Tampa - EXCELLENT. Three years - ZERO Outages. Never lagging - I must’ve hit the jackpot 🎰 😎

So from what I heard it really depends on where you live for example in my area I’m getting around 500 down and 100 up on spectrum and I’m in Cali but some people I know in different places say that their spectrum is terrible but for me Spectrum is top tier

my family has cox. you can stream hd video on 4 devices simultaneously and it just does it. no wired connection either, all over wifi. my wifi adapter itself can't make full use of the router because the router is like 5x faster.

i have windstream gigabit internet, its phenomenal. Down speeds around 600-700, uploads the same and thats with the router they install.

So part of it is your router and modem one thing to do get the best router and modem you can afford that saves you from paying a 10-20 buck a month rental fee then cox is good fios is good aswell no issues with either here

Immediately subbed after your first sentence. You ARE NOT trippin big bruh!

I actually live in one of the few places in America where internet just straight up doesn’t f-ing work. And it’s just my small neighborhood that deals with this. If I drive like, less than a mile away from my house, I could get good internet. It really REALLY sucks. I can’t do anything, including online homework. I can’t have Netflix. I can’t Google stuff. I can hardly even watch RU-vid videos without it loading every 5 seconds. All y’all with even half-decent wifi should be on your hands and knees thanking whatever deity you believe in right now, because you are incredibly lucky to be able to do the things you can do online. Half of the stuff you probably do daily is absolutely impossible and unheard of for me. The only way I can get serviceable internet connection is by paying for expensive a$$ data on my phone bc I luckily live close to a cell tower. I remember when my family found out about unlimited data being accessible for us being a fcking godsend, and even then our data is pretty garbage for how much we’re paying for it.

I have Sparklight with Cable One. Never really had an issue. I game online so I use a lot of internet. I have the package over the gaming package $80 a month. Plus, if the company has TRUE fiber optics advertising then it will most likely be good. Always read the fine print for a internet company. They may advertise in the big words about being reliable but that fine print will always have limits that will affect your service. Also, it depends on location and what modem plus a VPN router you have too. Cheap is usually crap. You get what you pay for. If learn how to change settings on your modem and router can change a lot! It's easy to learn too. Time and patience. I don't need cable since everything is online and if the internet ever goes out I got my blu-rays, books and table top games to keep me occupied.

I use AT&T fiber (if you want a killer deal ill get you installed and waive all fees im a D2D rep)

at&t fiber, Had spectrum...it was ok just a little over priced for the speed I was supposed to get. Fiber internet with a Mesh network I'm sitting at around 850-1000 on wifi, and 1000-1150 hardwired

My mom has xfinity Wi-Fi, it’s good, it stays at a consistent speed all the time. But internet connection does sorta change depending on where you are and where you live

Aight, so you need to do one of two options, either say screw it and use Ethernet cables, or you can do research of your areas better internet service providers and find out which one works best for you (my recommendation is to test out each one for an entire month, record how the internet does for you, and go from there)

ATT Fiber is probably the best internet I’ve ever had. 900+ download 300+ upload for $60 a month with my work discount. You could get the same discount if you bundle with wireless. Only problem is they’re not widely available yet so when I moved it was no longer in my area

I used to use Spectrum and didn’t usually have any issues but they do have slow downs during peak days when more people are on as customers share bandwidth on the node. Now though I have fiber internet through VNET Fiber which is currently local to Erie PA which I have had zero issues so far and maintain consistent speeds

You have to have spectrum run a diagnostic test on your line and see if there's any anomalies. They can also see if your modem is having uncorrected errors. Finally, get yourself an aftermarket router like I did going with the asus Axe16000 and kept the factory modem. It may take many calls of reporting issues but once you get everything fixed you'll be coasting everyday on the wifi. I never have issues with spectrum unless there's an outage. Everything else is fine

I hate to be that guy but this video captures perfectly why people complain about all these companies. The reason isn’t because they are bad, Verizon for example provides excellent fiber via their FIOS branded product. The problem is most people don’t understand how the internet works. This guy complains about 1 bar but that’s his home network(the WiFi) which a ISP never takes ownership of or really has any control over. Wi-Fi is going to inherently be less reliable than hardwired for a myriad of reasons and Wi-Fi is not the same as the internet itself. Lots of resources online that are just a few keystrokes away for setting up a home to be well connected and also explaining the basics about what an end consumer needs to know. From bandwidth needs, to latency for gamers, etc etc

I’ve never had a problem with xfinity. I’ve had them for almost 10 years. My internet is fast. It’s used for gaming and streaming. Never had any problems. I live in Chicago and my speeds are always consistent

ATT is pretty decent but we currently live in Austin… But we may be moving to Arizona.. say’s no ATT where we will likely move… only Century link and Orbital…

Just get stalink as a technician for all low voltage stuff ive seen starlink work the best for everyone. And last checked only 125 a month

Ive had ATT for yrs now. And it isnt trash but its not great either. Now when they upgraded my system to the new fiber layout. Made my internet way better. Im on a 500mb service. And overall its good but i have days where my wifi loses connection and my tv as well for a minute or two. And thats annoying considering my ATT bill is insanely priced. Im too embarrassed to say how much it is lol its that bad 😂. So im ready for the Elon starlink to be ready in my state of Indiana. Because the reviews for starlink ive seen say its great so i am ready for a change now.

So I use spectrum and just because you have the best package doesn’t mean much it also matters if your router can take it. I run 200 megabytes a second on Wi-Fi and 450 megabytes lan cable

I love Spectrum. I use a Deco X20 and have no issues. Maybe upgrade your router if youre having coverage issues.

So I use quantum fiber that runs north 2.4 and 5 ghz depending on what spot of the house your in but upload speed is 300 and download is about 100

My Internet is from a local ISP that has fiber one gigabit if you can find fiber Internet in your area that would be the best. If not try to find a cable Internet provider that’s not a large company or associated with a large company. Usually, those are the best.

I have worked for comcast and frontier, it all depends in your area bro, but i eeally think is an US shit cuz theres so much demand and companies cant keep up, customer have to wait for appointments sometimes over a month, and the route of connections specially on copper services and expensive to maintain

Based on your one complaint seems like the router itself😂 but it depends on what server your connected to, like I live in DeKalb IL and I'm connected to the trash Elburn IL server but people in the towns South of me are connected to the Sugar Grove IL server which is flawless. I talking about Mediacom btw

I have Xfinity in FL and as long as you don't need customer service, it's pretty reliable. But EXPENSIVE!!!!$$$$

I live in an apartment complex that has an exclusive contract with a company called nexgen. My biggest problem is that about twice a month or so they will shutdown the Internet for 20 minutes or so to do maintenance in the middle of the night, 2 or 3 AM, but I'm a late night person that is dependent on streaming for entertainment so it's a minor annoyance for me. They are also my phone company and uses VoIP for phone service and phone is connected to my router, I'd like to have it connected to my bedroom wall outlets instead but I fixed that by getting a cordless phone that has a separate charger and 2 phones

I Have mediacom and it’s Decent I would never say good. But now they are going to be installing fiber in my area in future according to a rep. But Brightspeed is already installing it in my area so I might have both for about 3 months and will see. I am especially curious since I just upgraded from a router to a Ubiquiti UDM PRO SE that can handle fiber with Sfp+ and I already found a sfp+ modem adapter for direct connection. Will see.

Nah idk what you’re talking about. I have Xfinity and haven’t ever had issues fr. Storms mess with it though, but yet…. it’s a storm. -.- so it’s expected. I get hundreds of download and upload speeds consistently ever since I’ve gotten it.

Currently have Cox as my ISP provider honestly at the highest tier it has amazing download and upload speeds the range from 350 mbps to 600 mbps on a clear day but *HEAR ME WHEN I SAY* you probably don't want to get it if you're a gamer with multiple people in your home stream videos, the ping is absolutely ridiculous bad and downright frustrating at times if you're playing an FPS or fighting game you may not want to get Cox but if all you do is watch 4KUHD videos or play single player games then it actually might be for you, as for me it sucks

1. Verizon (only use if they have coverage in your area if they do they are REALLY good) 2. Xfinity

It's because of multiple things, y'all need to research Internet plans, modems, routers, and cables in that order. Get a modern modem, connect cat 6a cables to it, then connect the 6a cable to a wifi 6 or 6e router, then you'll get fast af internet. (This is a basic example)

Metronet....its the best internet I have ever had. The only time it ever went out was when a guy crashed his car into a pole that carried the cable. 1000 Up and Down all day, at any time of day. Its amazing.

my friend has CAS Cable and his highest was 500 and it worked until the end of his driveway and my aunt and uncle have it and it works in their basement so i suggest u get CAS Cable

What do I need to do to get better upload speeds? I have the highest plan with spectrum right now, I haven’t had any issues but I stream a little and would like faster upload speeds
