Stop Comporium monopoly. It's ridiculous to see these people with such low customer service with outrageous rates and nonsense fees . There is absolutely no other option. This is not possible without corruption in the local government . Everyone for Google Fiber Please !! .

Comporium wants $1600 to run a line 280 ft to the house my wife and I just bought and then they want a 3-5 year contract. What A Scam. Beware of them. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years and now never again. They are like a leach on Rock Hill area and they are about to get competition. Hope they go down in flames.

I need the internet to do my work! I have been paying Comporium so much more $ since I moved to Fort Mill from Lake Wylie with unreliable service! Internet is down and I cannot call their main number, 611 or contact anybody for help! Please END this monopoly and allow more competition so it is fair!

HATE HATE HATE Comporium!!!!!! Not only does their service and plans completely suck but they charge WAY too much! This company has been doing this for long enough not letting Time Warner or ATT have any space in our area. I wish they would go out of business!

I believe it is absurd that a franchise could be so money hungry that they would take advantage of pretty much an entire city. Why not just make your service a competitor versus making it one sided and effecting everyone in the community. I have 2 children and a wife (4 person household), all of which have business or class work to do on the internet, I've had to upgrade my service when the service I had should have sufficed because if I didnt I would have been penalized. Every other provider has unlimited internet and we are in a virtual prison of rediculous prices, service and customer service. Customer service treat the customers the way they do because we don't have a choice of where we buy our service from. This is absolutely immorally correct and anyone with a sense of morality will say the same.

Another price increase. Roughly $35 higher since 2013 for same service. 2013/$72-2017/$106 outrageous. Everyone I know despises this hack of a company.

My parents are elderly and they are paying way too much for cable. Without cable they can't view many channels!

People saying comporium's pricing is reasonable don't know anything about internet service pricing around the nation or world.

I have used comporium for 14 years and it has its pros and cons. The internet cost for service has been fairly reasonable (I have 100 mbps connection) and I have had very few issues over the years. TV Cable is rather expensive as you can get Dish or Direct for about the same price with a larger selection. I do have a real issue with their lack of ability to provide adequate service in a timely manner (when you move and need initial hook up/install or you need a line run. They lack the man power and or ability to manage a schedule and it is a poor reflection of their intent to provide their customers with quality service. Recently I moved to an area with Fiber. I went into the local Comporium "store" and requested service. Their reply was: The first available is in 8 days from 8am-4pm. I Explained that I am a consultant and I work hourly and that I could not be available for 4 hours (losing 6 hrs of pay). I then asked if they worked weekends and the reply was no. Could they set a specific time (first one of the day or last of the day) for the appointment. No help at all. I must admit the person I spoke to in the store was not friendly and was not trying in any way to assist. I told her I would look elsewhere, she rudely said good luck and that I would be back.
