    My Other Reviews·HughesNet Satellit..
    I've been with WOW! for five (5) years this month. The cable outages can be barely counted on one hand. (Meaning=less than five!) The Internet connection has had some issues but they have always been resolved in a reasonable amount of time. Believe it or not, the management team is listed on their website and they DO respond when an e-mail is sent from a subscriber.

    The Internet speeds are better than advertised. I pay for 6MB down and 500K up and get about 6.2MB down and 600+ up. I don't have telephony with them so I'm not able to comment on that aspect of their service. A couple of months ago I upgraded to digital cable and HDTV and the service is absolutely excellent.

    Considering how expensive Comcast is in the Chicago area, and how LITTLE they care about their subscribers, WOW! is a true value that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling! Sure, I'd like to pay $30 for all of their services! But knowing that they are a smaller company that really works for the business makes me feel OK about paying their monthly bill. My recommendation: If you have a choice, go for WOW!

    WOW, was great for 3 Years, However now I getting issue

    Hi,

    recently somehow I am getting issue with my WOW internet.
    some time of the day I get really bad connection or no connection. after few hours later everything speed up as usual. Not sure what is causing problem. Called help desk. but the lady on the phone can not do any more troubleshooting then checking the signal strength my cable modem, when I told her that ping response from www.yahoo.com is more than 1000ms she ask me to check my computer. I used be a computer tech and holding A+ certification. also I now cisco certified engineer holding CCIE in R&S. However I did everything but no changes... Now I found out the pattern of outage, certain time of the day not working.
    I have 4 computers at home. I tested out every combination when I had problem with internet connection. Same issue.
    Reboot modem & router same issue.
    only solution so far is just wait for about 1 hour, then everything is fine.

    if everything is fine.. I am getting good speed.
