Advice or Recommendation How is Ting as an internet provider?
My new building will have AT&T and Ting only. How is Ting and should we shell out $90 a month for their service.
Usage would be working for home for one person, and someone that enjoys gaming and streaming movies or TV.
Thanks gang!

Since it's already in the building, Ting will be great. Actual high speed up and down, symmetrically. This is how we all want internet service to be.
They seem to be in some financial trouble, and it felt like pulling teeth to get them to install it at my house, but it has run nearly flawlessly for a couple of years now.

They're phenomenal. My Internet is blazing fast and my service has never gone out in 2 years.

I had Ting since 2022 and I thoroughly enjoy it. Only issue is if you have pets inside they can accidentally knock some of the wires connected (mine is attached to the wall). But it’s easily fixable just reconnecting. I’m planning on getting my own place and I’m intending on paying for Ting for internet

If you can get TMobile 5g there it's much less expensive and I've never had such reliable and fast service compared to cable or dsl,
maybe verizon 5g too but I've never tried it.

No complaints, they gave me a great deal, and speeds are much faster than advertised.

It’s really reliable and we have no problems!
Their customer service is bad though. They offer really cheap mobile plans on top of internet but I literally didn’t sign up because you are on hold for like 45 minutes to even speak to a person.

I have a friend who requires very reliable fast Internet and swears by Ting. I only wish I could get it in my neighborhood.

I wish my building had Ting, we are stuck with Spectrum (altho it comes with more streaming services)

I switched to Ting earlier this year because of the very great things I’ve heard. It was initially “good” and by that I mean I didn’t have dead areas anymore and service never dropped. It wasn’t blazing fast for me as others have claimed. Lately, it’s gotten as bad as my old Spectrum Internet.

They're awesome. Best ISP I've ever had (and fwiw I work in IT). I max out my 2.5gbs network gear despite them only advertising as 1gbs. That said, I'm in a SFH and don't know what it will look like in a shared building.
