Alabama internet customer reviews
I’ve had Starlink for about 20 days. I’ve only been able to watch TV at night one night. Frequent outages! I’ve tried for about four hours tonight to watch TV and maybe I’ve had a total of three or four minutes uninterrupted.
2/5
What I don’t like about T-Mobile internet is that they don’t have on the ground workers in my area.
4/5
I couldn’t get service.
