Gray 4.6

Good performance over several years. Decided to leave because the price goes up and the incentives are removed (Netflix, Neon) over time. Not proactive to offer better cost/performance so rang up customer service to see if there was a more competitive offer but no interest from them - only offer was to remove the landline to reduce the monthly fee Bye bye!

Pros

Reliable

Cons

Expensive

Andrew Jackson 7.0

Never needed to contact support so no issues there, a good basic broadband provider and reliable service but a little over priced compared to other providers.

Pros

Big company, reliable service

Cons

Outage notifications definitely need to be improved (at least admitted to would be a start). More competitive pricing would have kept me.
