WOW Internet review

WOW is a regional provider with over 400,000 customers, and its pitch is predictable pricing rather than headline speed. The internet page says every plan includes no contracts and no hidden fees, and you can add Price Lock for Life for $5 a month so your rate does not rise as long as you keep the same speed. WOW also says it does not use introductory pricing that jumps after year one. A WiFi modem is included, or you can use a compatible modem of your own, and a free self-install kit means you can set it up without a technician. Whole-Home WiFi uses eero devices, starting with two. Every plan has built-in network security that blocks malicious domains, and a 30-day guarantee lets you cancel for your money back. Plan prices and speeds are only shown for a specific address, so we list the price as pending.
