Red Flags You Should Look for in Your Internet Provider
Red Flags You Should Look for in Your Internet Provider
Not all relationships are built to last—especially the one you have with your bad internet provider. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, ignored, or stuck in a cycle of disappointment, chances are you’re dealing with a toxic ISP relationship. Here are the biggest red flags to watch out for.
1. They Ghost You When You Need Them Most
Slow speeds during peak hours, constant dropouts, or support lines that leave you hanging? If your provider disappears when you actually need them, that’s a classic ghosting move. Reliable internet should be there for you 24/7.
2. They Make Empty Promises
“Unlimited data” that slows down after a certain point. “Fast speeds” that never show up. If your provider’s words don’t match their actions, you’re being gaslit. The Internet shouldn’t come with fine-print excuses.
3. They Keep You Waiting
Endless hold music, service appointments that never arrive, or installation delays that drag on for weeks—sound familiar? Your time is valuable, and your provider should respect that.
4. They Drain Your Wallet but Don’t Deliver
Sky-high bills with hidden fees, surprise charges, or overpriced plans that don’t match the quality you’re getting? If the stress outweighs the value, it’s a red flag.
5. They Make You Feel Trapped
Lock-in contracts and complicated exit fees are the ISP version of a toxic partner who won’t let you leave. Internet should empower you, not cage you in.
