Question 1

Which ISP has the best customer satisfaction ratings?

Accepted Answer

Based on customer satisfaction surveys, fiber providers consistently rank highest. Google Fiber, EPB Fiber Optics, and Verizon Fios regularly top satisfaction rankings. Among larger providers, AT&T Fiber and T-Mobile Home Internet receive above-average ratings. Cable providers like Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox tend to score lower on customer service but higher on availability. Regional fiber providers like Allo Communications, Ziply Fiber, and Metronet also receive high marks.

Question 2

Can I switch internet providers without losing service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases you can schedule new service installation before canceling your old provider to avoid any gap. Many ISPs can activate service within 1-3 days for cable, or 1-2 weeks for fiber. Check your current provider's contract for early termination fees. Most cable and fiber providers don't require contracts, but satellite providers like HughesNet and Viasat typically have 2-year contracts with cancellation fees.

Question 3

Do I need a contract for internet service?

Accepted Answer

Most modern ISPs don't require contracts. Spectrum, AT&T Fiber, Verizon Fios, Google Fiber, T-Mobile Home Internet, Frontier Fiber, and many others are contract-free. However, satellite providers (HughesNet, Viasat) typically require 2-year contracts. Some cable providers offer lower promotional prices with a 1-2 year agreement. Always check the terms before signing up.

Question 4

What happens when my promotional price expires?

Accepted Answer

When your promotional period ends (usually 12-24 months), your rate automatically increases to the regular price - sometimes by 30-50% or more. You can try calling your provider to negotiate a new promotional rate, switch to a different plan, or switch providers entirely. Some customers rotate between providers to always get promotional pricing. Fiber providers like AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber often have the same price with or without promotions.

Question 5

Which ISP is best for gaming?

Accepted Answer

For gaming, prioritize low latency and consistent speeds over raw download speed. Fiber providers (Verizon Fios, AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber) offer the best gaming experience with 5-15ms latency. Cable internet (Xfinity, Spectrum) is also good for gaming with 15-30ms latency. 5G home internet works for casual gaming but latency can spike. Satellite internet (except Starlink) is generally not suitable for real-time gaming due to 500ms+ latency.
