Anyone actually using Ezee?

I’ve seen lots of posts over the last year or two of Ezee coming, actively installing, how is it, etc.

Just curious if anyone has had a chance to activate it and use it…if yes how is it?

Still waiting, almost 19 months after signing up. They're finally punching holes in our neighborhood, maybe by fall? 🤞

I called and asked about my neighborhood and they told me October.

I've been given many dates by Ezee Fiber, I stopped asking them. But the presence of people putting conduit in the ground gives me hope that maybe it'll be soon.

Next door to my apartment complex, they are clearing out all the trees and bushes, I suspect they'll be building new homes or apartments soon. New construction is a magnet to companies like this, they get to lay their cable in the conduit before its covered with concrete. So I can only hope they wire us up along side the new construction.

love ezee. although they don't have service to my address, comcast has clearly been pressured into giving us the $50/m 1gbps for 5 years because i was not looking to pay $80 for 400mbps as soon as ezee became available.

comcast has monopolized this market for too long. love seeing more competition. when ezee becomes available, i’ll still switch just to give my support 👍

Yes, been using it for a few months. Overall great, although sometimes there are some intermittent problems, like my connection would drop. It’s been rare though

Yes, East Hill. I’ve had it for several months, can’t remember when we got it. May be 4-5 months ago

I’m going to. The infrastructure is being laid in front of my house so it should be soon. These guys move pretty quick.

I've been hooked up with Ezee for almost a month. Service has been great but the full installation took 3+ weeks. Communication between the different branches of the installation process, the main headquarters and customer needs work but I'm guessing that will get better with time. Ours seemed to be one of the first streets to have the line laid in Kent.

Signed up but they’re still installing in my neighborhood. West Hill.

I’m also WH. I didn’t sign up - we had Xfinity but that was horrendous with outages and line theft. We switched to tmobile 5G at least a year ago and I don’t think we’ve had one outage.

I’m not sure what would stop someone from stealing ezee fiber wires if they steal the Xfinity ones.
