We’re finally getting some overbuilds in my area. Can’t get it in my neighborhood fast enough.
We’ve been stuck with only Suddenlink (recently turned into Optimum) for years. When they were smaller, they were great. Then, over the past 10ish years, they were involved in multiple mergers that kept the name. The service suffered immensely.
The worst part is, they know they’re the only game in town, so they treat you like garbage and your only recourse is to just not have internet.
There’s finally a company called Vexus that’s overbuilding their network with fiber, but it’s taking a while. It was supposed to be in my neighborhood months ago, but still isn’t. I’m soooo ready to change providers. Even if they aren’t much better, the competition alone should force both to improve a little. Even if they don’t I can probably get decent deals by hopping back and forth every now and then.
