Manny is the man. Hooked it up clean and legit. He was the field tech. The front office need some work though. They are not very good at scheduling and communicating with the field guys. I'm giving it 5 stars because Manny made up for all of the prior miscues. read more

Very good, detail oriented and helpful i in troubleshooting. Honest and knowledgeable. very satisfied read more

Cityside came through. We are the first house in our neighborhood to install fiber and the blackbox was hidden under an artificial turf. After the first technician located the source, rest of the process went smoothly. For the inside equipment installation, Manny, who is friendly and professional, did an excellent job on a Saturday afternoon, finished the job in less than two hours and walked me through the setup. Thank you for the great service. read more

Manny came today to finish up day 2 of the installation. He was kind and knowledgeable. Overall the installation team has been good. They trenched a part of our yard and had to do a small seam cut on our concrete but they avoided our drainage pipes. Overall things look fine so far. I can't comment on the actual internet service yet as it's only been a day since we've had them. I will update if I experience outages. But overall 5 stars for the installation team and Manny. read more

Review from my phone because service is out. Again. Customer service for setup: great. Installation: great. Sprinkler repair after they trenched through a line: great. It happens, they fixed it promptly, all good. However. Three extended outages in the first two weeks of service is not acceptable. The first most basic priority here MUST be uptime. Doesn't matter how fast the service can be when there's no service at all. Like many others, I work from home and don't need the bandwidth- I need reliability. Whatever it takes CitySide, you are currently burning up goodwill in a bonfire. NO ONE wants to go back to Cox but I will have no choice if you cannot fulfill the most basic promise you make which is to simply show up. PLEASE give me a reason to come back and change this to 5 stars. I don't need a response to this review, I just need for your service to work. read more

Staff: The entire staff from the call center who scheduled the appointments, to the guys that came to our home for all 3 appointments , they were all nice. Value: Amazing compared to my prior carrier. No data limit and fast speeds are advertised. If it all goes as offered, the value will be a very good one. Overall: Appointment 1 : Nice guy came out to see where the installation would occur. Based upon the new fiber optics lines were laid outside, we arrived at an agreement on installation from the street into the home. Appointment 2: The crew came out to trench from the street to the house. They did not agree with the first person and now said they need to trench across the whole front grass and now put a box that converts the outdoor wire to indoor on the side of the garage in the front of the house. They said the guy would go into the attic and drop a line down. Appointment 3: The guy came and said that they couldn't go into the attic as it was a rule to avoid potential damage claims. Overall: Too many changes to the plan which was a bit frustrating. However, I'm so glad to have made the switch so far after a few days. The service tests at fast speed but I have experienced a couple of odd things that did not occur with my prior carrier. I'll update any changes to my experience with the service itself. read more

I switched from Cox to Cityside Fiber when it became available. Not only am I paying half the cost of what I was at cox but my Internet speeds and downloads went from 105 to about 700+ when I did the speed test. The installation and process was so easy, I'm extremely impressed. Thank you Adam for the install! Amazing Job and got it done within an hour without having to climb through my attic. Highly recommend Cityside Fiber to any gamer, home office, business, or family in the area. read more

Cityside Fiber - Internet speeds. Download was at 105 and upload was at 5 with Cox. Insane!!! - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Irvine, California

Great service by chinzo! The installer showed up on time, was super friendly, and got everything set up without any problems. He made sure everything was working great before he left and answered all my questions. Everything was done neatly, and now my internet is fast and reliable throughout the house. Really appreciate the great work. Definitely recommend if you need a Wi-Fi or internet installation! I would ask for CHINZO technician read more

Manny did a great job with our installation. Clear, efficient and clean worksite. We are City-side folks now.

Do not let Cityside contractors run any lines through your lawn or they will destroy it. They contract a company to run their lines and they destroyed my sprinklers and lawn. They left it in a complete mess. I complained and they came to fix the busted sprinkler pipe but did nothing about my lawn. I sent an email to get compensated for lawn repair and was ignored I also signed up for service which has not been great. I get outages all the time and internet is no longer as reliable as it was with Cox. I am going to give it another month and will probably switch back to Cox. read more

We had a great experience with Cityside Fiber from the first call to installation. The customer service at this company is great and they had me set up with appointments for install within a week. The technician (Chinzo) who did our install was early, technically knowledgeable and did an incredibly clean and fast install! He was courteous and transparent taking our needs into account, while providing expert advice. He definitely went the extra mile and made us very comfortable and happy with every aspect of the job! A true craftsman and professional! Would definitely recommend him and Citywide. Best of all? I now have DOUBLE the speed (2G) I had with Cox for $40/month less! Thank you Chinzo and thank you Citywide! read more

We just canceled Cityside Fiber after two years. But we pretty much had troubles from day 1. The installation only went okay because my husband watched the crew the whole time. He had to stop them from taking shortcuts that could have damaged the wiring in our home. Their contractor also tore up our yard and cut our irrigation lines. They repaired it, it took a lot of phone calls and haggling with them but the line was buried so shallow that I worry the gardeners may hit it at some point. The service itself was unreliable. My internet was slow or down almost every day. That's not what you expect from fiber. But it's probably because they outsource things to people who don't know what they are doing. Normal websites also blocked us because of how Cityside sets up their network. We couldn't even buy movie tickets online without using phone data. When we asked support to fix it, they tried to sell us a business plan at double the price. If your household depends on its internet, look elsewhere. We switched back to our old provider. read more

I got a promotional offer via email, a week after i cancelled my Cityside Fiber service. Their left hand has no idea what their right hand is doing. They are asking a dissatisfied ex-customer with a 1 star yelp review to promote them to friends and neighbors. I think if they crossed reference their current customer database with who should receive a "recommend us to others" email, they would realize they had no business asking me to share my opinion with friends and neighbors. read more

We had a great install with Manny! He was very kind, informative, and helpful! My advice with City Side Fiber is to ask for clarification several times. They has a strong wifi connection but the internal miscommunication and lack of notes for each customer makes for a very difficult experience working with them. Every time we call we need to reexplain everything and one person will tell us we dont need to be home 100% and the auto text says the same then someone shows up and says we do have to be home. There is definitely a lot of issues with the admin side and customer support side of the business but at the end of the day we will stay with City Side Fiber since they have a stronger network/connection than other providers in our community and working face to face with people like Manny is great! read more

Don't be seduced by fast uploads and download. Weekly outages will soon take the smile of your face. Trying to contact Cityside for help is next to impossible. read more

Cityside Fiber - This is what to expect from Cityside once a week. Red light no connection. - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Irvine, California

Manny was our tech. In and out within an hour. Everything looks and works great. Cityside Fiber was probably the best ISP I've ever work with. I got fiber up and running within a few days of service request. They come at the time they said they will with fast and top notch service. Highly reccomend. read more

You can't even make it up. Since I last updated my review, there was yet ANOTHER outage. Then they finally came by to clean up the cable on the back of the house (the day after they said they would). The tech said he wouldn't be able to reach it but he'd try. He tried and could reach it fine, but told my wife there was no slack and nothing could be done and he left. My wife went back in the house. No internet. I contacted them (I'm working out of the country but she said she's not dealing with it) and he came right back and said he broke the cable trying to pull on it. His tool said the fault was inside of the attic and he'd need to go in through the house and splice it. The baby was sleeping and my wife was already so pissed she told him I had to deal with it when I get back. I've been gone all week so the house will end up being without service for several days. We have starlink as a back up for working and TV, but all my development servers and automations (and security cameras, etc.) have been broken all week since they're all wired through the Cityside service and the cameras would need to be reset to connect to them to change the WiFi config over. The customer service attempts have been a 7/10 (it's not perfect, but I'm not mad at their customer service) but they can't deliver the product at all. When it works, it's fine but as far as reliability goes, it's like third world internet. read more

Interior installation was completed today by Manny. He did an excellent job. Everything looks tight and clean. Speed is two gigs verified and he was friendly and professional and efficient. He suggested a good route for the cable into my office to minimize drilling and cable exposure. The experience so far with Cityside fiber has been very good. Great service, great communication, text reminders and updates, and on time arrivals. The Internet service is five times faster than the previous provider for the same price and no data limits. If I decide that I don't need two gigs, I can downgrade to one gig and save some money. read more

Manny did a great job of the final installation. The rest of the process was messy They didn't get the dig permitting done for the first time the crew came out to run the cables in the ground. The crew running the cables said they couldn't go under the drive so we rerouted the location and so on read more

How is this company in business????? They have constant outages and do NOT answer their phones. You will sit on hold with the machine saying you are #2 in the queue and then it just tells you to leave a message. This is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fix your damn infrastructure if you can't keep your product working. And, I will get a response on here from someone saying that the internet went out at this time and was restored at this time. Useless. This is crap. I can't believe I'm saying this but avoid these people and go to Cox!!!!! read more

Terrible consistency. Outages happen in the morning . When there is an outage there is no way to verify. When you call to ask if there is an outage they don't answer the call and send you to voicemail then never return the call. Looking for alternatives now. read more

They were great. Constant communication about install times and the work being performed. Manny did the inside install and was very nice and set up everything perfectly. read more

Already had cityside fiber at old home, smooth and great service. Just moved and transfered service to new home with no issues. Rob Sanchez is a great technician, explained any curveballs from new outside box placements and step-by-step fyis throughout the process. Gave variety of wire path options and recommendations. Made sure to clean up and staple as neat as possible. Another smooth experience setting up. read more

DO NOT SWITCH TO CITYSIDE. We left Cox because we were assured that fiber optic is much higher quality than copper, or whatever Cox uses. And while that may be true, in the past ten days, we have had 3 outages. We are going through the third one right now. Cityside is ABSOLUTELY UNRELIABLE. If you rely on the internet for your wok or business, do not switch to Cityside. You will lose a lot of business or end up having to go somewhere to plug in to work. If you have small children, you'll have to find a place for them while you physically go in to work. Spoke with a "Matthew" today regarding today's outage. I asked him, "Do you know what it costs when my wife has to unexpectedly have to go in to work? And we have a 3 and a 5 year old." His response was, "Oh I know," in a sarcastic tone (which of course he denied). I responded, "Oh you do? How much is that?" He of course did not have a response. It is way cheaper to purchase the highest level of internet Cox has than to use Cityside. They admittedly are a "small company" and in my opinion a start-up. They have no idea what they're doing. If you plan on switching, wait a few years. They're not ready to be a reliable internet company. read more

Manuel was an excellent technician. Did exactly what was needed to run the fiber through my house. Looks and works great.

Another outage. Customer support line doesn't pick up. Always stuck 19th in line. Never call back. I paid for 2TB and I always only get 800MB. I called many times and never resolved. read more

The response was a car that hit a pole for 1 outage. What about the other 3-4 outages that happen in a week? What about that no one calls back when you reach out to Concierge? Check out the other reviews. Plenty of people have the same experience of multiple outages and no call back from Customer Service (Concierge). read more

This first review was removed because city side complained my review was to hurtful but all the truth . Truth hurts . First 2 weeks the service was great . The last 3 weeks the WiFi has been crap at best . Outside cameras just spin . Reached out to there joke third party concierge service . Never received a call back . Let's see if they complain to yelp again . Had cox before this and is no better . 11/08/26 there crap service went out again . Called numerous times with no return call again . read more

CitySide Fiber provided a quick response to my service call, just two hours later and a technician was at my door ready to help. Manny was very professional and quickly found the cable break. He was helpful with finding a solution to preventing rodents from getting to the cable line until I can block rodent access. Thank you Manny. read more

Jacob and Cesar from CitySide's underground crew did an outstanding job. They were exceptionally professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful, expertly running the fiber from the street under my lawn and sidewalk to an outside box on my house. I highly recommend them to anyone considering CitySide Fiber--they are true professionals. read more

The people that came over to install my wifi we're quick with their jobs, and we're very nice! I recommend.​

Manny was here finalizing a previous install. He was very respectful, timely, and suggested great ideas for cleaning up old wiring. Cityside also covered the remaining installation so it was a great value. Manny made sure to check on new for all the work, did the work quickly, and made sure everything was working before leaving read more

Our internet completely died and after getting in contact with them they tried their best to get someone out that would fit our crazy schedule. Two days later the technician Kervin Z. Came out. Walked us through the problem, solved i it quickly and even recommended future upgrades. read more

I had an excellent experience with Chinzo from Cityside Fiber today who installed the fiber optic line into my house. From start to finish, Chinzo was professional and courteous. Before doing any physical work, he took the time to explain my options for how the fiber line would enter the house and where the router hookup box would be best placed, taking into account optimizing the wireless signal to reach all areas of the house. I appreciated how he walked me through everything so there were no surprises. The physical installation itself was quick, efficient and clean. And after everything was installed, Chinzo verified that the connection with my Google Nest WiFi system was working as expected. Thank you and many kudos to you! read more

Manny did a niceclean installation. Took the time to answer all my questions and made sure all my stuff was working.

Next door neighbor decided to get service from Cityside Fiber. When they were installing it, without notification they spray painted my lawn on one day, then the next day my lawn was torn up. All this without any notification or permission. Paint marks remain on my lawn and the dug up portions will take a season to grow back. My neighbor apologized and said that he was told by Cityside Fiber that all work would be on his property and not mine. My thoughts are they told him what he wanted to hear just to make a sale. To exasperate the matter further, the installation crew left a bottle of urine in the gutter in front of my house. In reaching out to the their concierge, I received no response. read more

Michael N. Was awesome. Quick response to my issue and solved it right away. I've been impressed with Cityside's service and speed of network since joining them 18 months ago. read more

Manny was awesome. Super friendly and quick install. Very professional job. Good decision to replace my troubled cox cable.

The speed keeps getting worse and worse, the promised new hardware capable of faster speeds but nothing g thus far

Installed initial line in the wrong location, was informed it would be an easy fix instead they came back and put a line across my driveway that was poorly sealed and exposed within a week, causing a tripping hazard. Still waiting to get the issue resolved read more
