I called Remo group and before they could show up, my 20+ year old ham antenna was destroyed by a windstorm. So I ordered a new one and guess what? They also can set up ham gear. I installed it the first time, but that was when I was 20 years younger and no way did I feel safe at my age. So The Remo Group to the rescue. Not only are my antennas working, but the wires are much neater than before - they are hidden in the shadows of my vinyl siding. A+ again!

Throughout the installation, he worked efficiently while still making sure everything was set up correctly and optimized for my home. He was patient in answering my questions and made sure I understood how to use and manage my new WiFi before he left. What really stood out was his customer service-friendly, respectful, and genuinely focused on making sure everything worked perfectly. He was also very kind and friendly with my cats, which I really appreciated and made the whole experience even more comfortable. I truly appreciate the smooth experience and would absolutely recommend Humberto Romero to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable field service technician.

I signed up for Sonic expecting reliable service and professional communication. Instead, I've…read morespent over a month waiting for internet installation with virtually no meaningful updates from the company. After scheduling an installation appointment that was already weeks away, I waited the entire month only to receive a call on the day of the appointment informing me that it was canceled. Not only was the appointment canceled at the last minute, but Sonic couldn't even provide a new installation date. Their answer was essentially, "We don't know when it will happen." The most frustrating part isn't even the delay itself--it's the complete lack of communication. For over a month, there were no proactive updates, no realistic timeline, and no effort to keep me informed about what was happening. If there were permit issues or construction delays, why wasn't that communicated earlier? Why was I allowed to wait weeks for an appointment that apparently couldn't be fulfilled? What makes this even worse is that Sonic offered no temporary solution whatsoever. If fiber installation was delayed indefinitely, they could have suggested an alternative service, temporary internet option, or any kind of stopgap solution. Instead, I was left completely in the dark and without internet service. When I called customer service to get answers, I didn't get any new information. The representative simply repeated the same explanation about waiting for a permit over and over again, without providing any timeline, updates, or accountability. Delays happen. Permits can take time. Customers understand that. What customers don't appreciate is being ignored for weeks, having appointments canceled at the last minute, and then being told nobody knows when service will actually be available. At this point, I'm left with no internet, no installation date, and very little confidence in Sonic's ability to communicate with its customers. Extremely disappointing experience.

Comcast was going to charge me $85,000 dollars to run Fiber!! My neighbor down the road suggested I call WiLine because he had the same issues with his location. I called them up and got a rep to help me right away, I got expedited installation and she even threw in a free month of service! So far I have been really happy with the speeds and the price. It hasn't gone done yet and it has been 6 months. It's still fast and strong and for me it's one of those services you don't have to worry about.

Signed a long-term contract with WiLine at ~$320/month. Within ~1.5 years, my bill increased to…read morenearly $500/month due to multiple "rate adjustments" that were not clearly authorized in the original agreement. I raised this issue repeatedly over a 9-month period with both their billing and contracts teams. Despite multiple follow-ups and formal dispute notices, I either received no response or vague explanations that did not address the core issue. In the meantime, WiLine continued billing me at the higher rates without providing any resolution. They eventually acknowledged the increases, but were unable to point to anything in the signed agreement that clearly allows for discretionary rate hikes beyond CPI. Posting notices on invoices or portals does not change the terms of a signed contract. This experience has been extremely frustrating. The combination of unilateral price increases, lack of accountability, and prolonged non-responsiveness is not what you expect from a service provider under a long-term agreement. I would not recommend WiLine to anyone. If you do consider them, review the contract carefully and be aware that your monthly cost may increase significantly over time with little recourse.

Much better reception on our phones when out of range. Had trouble connecting to internet without wifi, went back and Manager did the final activation on my phone. Works! James the phone dude also gave us a much better monthly charge for our phone lines if we changed from Verizon. We came back a week later to get the phones and new contract. James stayed with us entire time until our phones were activated. Had to come back later that day (disclaimer: we live two blocks away, not a big deal) for another hiccup. Manager dude fixed it right away. Then yesterday we realized our new phones not paired with cars. Yikes! Couldn't figure it out. Went back in, Manager dude helped another waiting customer but then actually came out to the car with me and in five minutes showed me how to delete old phone from settings and add new phone. Anyway I know the company has many complaints, mine among them regarding speaking to a live agent. We're fortunate to live nearby and going in person changes everything. For this particular issue, not the rest of the legit issues folks have, I wanted to shout out what a great job they have been doing.

They followed through on the lower rate but never sent the gift card.

Enjoyed the cheap wifi. But not worth the pain of having to contact their customer support. Learned my lesson

After nearly twenty years as a customer, I can no longer recommend Astound. Over time, the company…read morehas repeatedly increased prices while reducing the value of the service--offering lower internet speeds and fewer TV channels than before. I have contacted customer service multiple times to discuss the significant price differences between what long-term customers pay and the promotional rates offered to new customers, as well as the more competitive pricing available from other providers. Unfortunately, the only response has been small temporary credits and continued reductions in services while monthly bills keep rising. Given the lack of meaningful resolution, I will be canceling my service and returning to Comcast, which currently offers substantially lower pricing, significantly faster internet speeds, and a more complete channel lineup. It is disappointing to see how far this company has declined from the quality and value it once provided. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage prospective customers to carefully compare options before choosing Astound.

We worked with Ryan, who was able to answer all our questions. Their monthly rate is 1/2 what we paid for Xfinity. It's only been a week, but our internet has not dropped once. Moises, the installer, arrived on time and did the entire installation himself in about 4 hours. He first set up a temporary antenna to check the download and upload speeds. Our speed was even better than what they had quoted. Once the antenna was set up on our roof, a cable is then connected to an outlet in our house. Once we set up our routers, everything worked seamlessly. Moises didn't leave until we confirmed that all of our devices were connected. If you live in the Fremont or neighboring areas, I highly recommend Tekify for your internet service.

It's only about 15 feet as the crow flies, but there were lots of studs, joists, and built-in cabinets in the way. Both HOA CC&R and basic aesthetics say no to running cables along exterior walls - but that was the only solution the ISP installers were willing to offer. Enter Cable Shmable. Instead of giving a rough guesstimate, Karim came out in person to review the scope of work, propose a cable path, and provide a solid estimate. The very next workday, Alex and Yunus arrived to do the job. Having Alex and Yunus work on my project felt like being in a happy place. They showed up on time, brought all the right tools, gizmos, and materials, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Their cabling expertise was obvious as they masterfully navigated the fiber through every obstacle and got it exactly where it needed to go. When they finished, the work area was actually cleaner than when they arrived. As a finishing touch, Alex and Yunus are genuinely friendly, easygoing people to work with. They listened patiently to my layman suggestions, explained the intricacies of fiber optics, and ultimately proposed, and implemented, a cable path that was both technically sound and aesthetically pleasing. The name Cable Shmable really fits. It carries an aura of ease and a true "can-do" attitude. When it comes to cables and networking, there's nothing these guys can't handle. I highly recommend Cable Shmable for all your networking needs.
