Customer Reviews of Internet Providers in Roslindale
Still the best customer service!
I choose RCN because of the customer service. The speed and technology are good, not the best but the customer service is 10 times better. There will always be an issue with internet and cable but customer service and great techs are worth their weight in gold.
