I actually cancelled my service after my service going out from 9/30/25 - 10/06/25 from 1/1:30pm until 6/7pm EVERYDAY. I work from home and need the internet to do my job. I reached out to Sparklight everyday the internet went out and would get reps who hung up on me, didn't care and gave me ridiculous reasons as to why the internet was out. I had a rep actually tell me the SUN was the reason the internet was going out. WHAT? After that ridiculous reasoning I just cancelled the service and went to a new provider. read more

Sparklight - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Sherman, Texas

We have been paying for internet for over 3 weeks with no service. We had it scheduled for a tech to come out on Monday, he drives into the apartment complex, parks, writes a note in the system saying he came to our door, knocked, and no one answered. Literally on the phone with them and they cant get that same person to step outside of their vehicle. Poor customer service and their technicians are so lazy they won't get out of their truck. Do not use this company. They will give you n nothing but head aches. read more

If I could give Sparklight negative starts I would. Unfortunately, they have a contract that does not allow any other providers to come in and offer better quality service. When I called to set up my disconnect I was told. "take a video of you dropping it in the drop box." I asked if they could find me a location within a 100 mile radius and I was told "no, it can only be dropped at the Sherman location." I was also told they do not set up disconnects and dropping the equipment will disconnect the service. In all my years of living coast-to-coast, I have NEVER heard of this. As a member of the media, and former investigative news reporter, I encourage others former customers to reach out to me so I can start investigating the business practices of this Sparklight. Based on conclusive evidence, it appears they are targeting the demographic of the area and taking advantage of the people. When you cancel your service make sure you do the following: (If you cannot return it during their Tuesday - Thursday hours of operation.) 1. Take a video with the date and time stamp of you placing the items in a box and sealing. 2. Take it to the post office and send with delivery AND signature confirmation. 3. Make sure to take a video of you mailing it to Sparklight from the post office as the transaction is being made. Sparklight will not set up disconnect and your disconnect is ONLY when they receive the box. Until then, you will continue to be charged until someone notes they have received the box and marked it "returned" in your account. If you still have issues, contact the local Better Business Bureau with your complaint and FACTS (This is important to document the situation with facts and NOT opinions.) Be clear and concise. The more people who make formal complaints about the practice of a business, the more progress can be made and help enact change to Sparklight's corporate policy of questionable business practices. For my particular situation, it has been 6 days since they have received the equipment, but they do not have any record of the equipment being returned. This means I am still being charged even after returning my equipment. If they are doing this to me- they are doing it to others. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! I cannot stress this enough for your protection as a customer. My final thoughts: This company NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED and please protect yourself from being overcharged by documenting your experience with the company. Please don't be a Karen. read more

I have been trying to get Sparklight to fix my issues for 2 weeks. Kenneth Walker manager at Sherman office never returns calls I left multiple voicemails. A couple years ago Mr Walker talked us into changing to fire sticks due to pixelation on our TVs. Now Sparklight says they don't support the fire sticks even though they are the ones who installed. I have internet and 5 TVs with 2 of the TVs not working I just want the service I pay $350 a month for. Techs have been scheduled with me waiting 8 hours for a no show no phone call. They treat paying customers like garbage. I would like management to contact me asap to rectify this issue. Service address 1014 Webb smith Sherman Texas. I have lost all faith in Sparklight read more

Absolutely garbage customer service. I pay for 1gig and am currently getting less than 400megs. Called customer service today and was cursed out by some rando. I'm beyond angry. Absolutely abismal. read more

Sparklight - I pay for 1gb. This is small claims court. - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Sherman, Texas

I was a long time customer with Fidelity. I have years of working from home with their service. I get a divorce and service is in my Ex name. I pay the bill, no problem. Ex finally goes to get internet and I have to disconnect to get service in my name. Easy peasy, right? No!!! my equipment is obsolete and now they need to send out technicians. I explain no, everything is fine, just change name on the account. They refuse! I explain I will just take my service elsewhere and disconnect the call. They call back to argue basically that Im not smart for wanting new equipment! #whyfixitifitaintbroke #convienceiskey #aintgottimeforthat read more

I requested a service transfer to my new home and they sent the service to a completely different address. This happens on a Saturday morning so no one is available to talk to. I believe you should be open on Saturday, Sherman is a big city and I shouldn't have to wait like this for you to correct your mistake. read more

We just moved to Sherman back in January. We moved into a new house, in a new neighborhood, Heritage Ranch Estates. Unfortunately, we chose Sparklight as our internet provider. The only thing more pathetic than their internet, is their customer service! They TOTALLY SUCK!!! We had to have them come out 5 times in 8 months and called them at least 7 times to report numerous router/ programming issues! When we call plumbers, electricians, AC contractors, etc, we are ALWAYS given an appointment time, so we will be sure to be home. Makes sense for the contractor and for us. So, this morning we wake up and our internet is out AGAIN!!! We go through the same routine, we call Sparklight and they have us do the "unplug the router, wait 3 minutes, plug it back in,,process" Ofcourse it doesn't work, so they have to schedule a service technician to come out. BTW, they don't have anyone available today, so it will be tomorrow! So, I asked what time? I was told they DON'T schedule appointment times, they just call 10 minutes before they come out!!! Are you kidding me??? Is that any way to run a "service based business???" Rest assured, I will be replacing Sparklight as soon as I find a better provider!!! Steer clear of Sparklight, Jeff Blaker read more

Horrible service, way overpriced. So we cancelled, paid the final bill and never thought about them again. A year and a half later I get a notification that an outstanding debt was sent to collection. When contacting them they said they can't tell me what the charge was or what collection agency they sent it to. Nothing they can do about it. Sparklight is terrible. Terrible service, terrible customer service. Avoid. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I was on the way to becoming a new customer. My first impression of Sparklight started at 8 am after getting off work at 7 am. 5 phone calls in total, lied to 3 times, hung up on once. Told them no to installing on the day i would be out of state. Not ok with waiting until after the 15th. Ordered it on the 30th. Fifth call was to cancel the order and start the refund. read more

Extremely expensive service with poor customer service. They are buying up all small providers to prevent competition. I'm only giving 1 star because you can't give zero. read more

Biggest scam company in grayson county. My internet went from $55 a month to $85. With no notice, call or email.

A lightning strike behind our house took out the internet modem. A call to Sparklight in Sherman started the process of getting us up and going again. Eric M. came out the following morning, ran a test, set up the new modem and had everything working in 15-20 minutes. It was a painless process and Eric made it as easy as can be! Thank you Eric! read more

This company has been an all-around horrible experience for me and my partner. 4- 5 Internet outages almost every single day, even though it says we have high speed internets all of our videos buffer constantly, they claimed they gave us the best gaming modem that they could give us and I've got it from Insiders in the company that states that they didn't and they in fact give that eero to everyone. I've had to have workers come out here to service the internet several times, more often than not they leave without doing anything saying they can't figure out what's wrong with it or just that the area is having bad spots in general. The company has claimed on numerous occasions that it does not throttle our internet usage because the plan were on but I had witnessed it throttle it several times, they claim that we should be able to run up to 10 computers playing video games and streaming to twitch simultaneously with no fault but that's a blatant lie considering I can barely run one streaming computer at a time. The app seems to be really bugged out currently, as it tells me that I have an update available for the modem but the button is grayed out and refuses to let me update it. Overall we pay about $100 a month if not more for Internet that we can barely use. The customer service is awful, the workers are lazy, they show up well past the time they say they would come over to service something, and even the people that I have known for most of my life that have worked at that place that have really good job credentials say that it is one of the worst internet companies to work for or have. I wish there was a way to give this company a lower star review but there's not so I'll settle with one star and I will post this in every place that I can find that allows me to leave reviews for spark light internet. read more

Horrible. Once was fidelity which never had issues from. As SOON as it became sparklight we've had nothing but problems. Internet droppage, overcharging, login portal not working right to pay bills. If you have ANY other option, go for it. Unfortunately i dont so im stuck with cruddy Sparklight. read more

Service went down due to copper thieves, the company got everything back up and running so fast!

Our Sparklight Technician, ROBBY MEEK, did us a 5-STAR job all the way! He was friendly, knew his stuff, and went out of his way to answer all of our questions and make sure we understood it all. We are both in our '80s and not tech-savvy at all. Thanks again, ROBBY ! read more

Everytime there's a cloud or a light rain my internet instantly goes out and here lately that's been a lot. I don't understand how it's the middle of 2024 and an internet company can't provide service during a lil rainfall. Or at least buy some equipment that can. read more

The ONLY reason we went with dimlight was that we purchased a new home and they were the only choice. It's been less than a year and the internet goes down every couple weeks for days at a time. Working from home is not an option because of this. I'm typing this on my phone because the internet is down. Again. It's been down for the last three days. Again. There is no plan from dimlight on how to resolve this. Nor do they really care because they are the sole provider for the development. If you are thinking of buying a new house, and dimlight is the IP, buy elsewhere. read more

They are very good to work with you, and I have no troubles whatsoever with my service. I would recommend them to anybody.

If you like A+ prices and D-service you will love Sparklight. We are switching carriers tomorrow. Pathetic is far too generous a description. Spare yourself a bunch of grief and look elsewhere! read more

if their was a zero I would give it if i had a choice between sparklight and stone age dial up id choose Stone Age dial up out internet has been consistently for at least a week a month for the past 9 months we have been in this house not once have they solved the issue just replaced the lines read more

So happy with my internet signal now!! Let me tell you, if you need help with your Internet, and they are sending out a technician,ask for Erik Hartless! He was knowledgeable, polite, helpful, thorough and respectful of my home. He found long-standing problems that no one else had noticed and fixed them, taking the time to explain what he had done. Then he waited to make sure I was happy with the signal in all parts of the house before he left. Kudos, Sparklight, and thank you, Erik! read more

I know you normally only hear when customers have complaints. I work in customer service at a retail store and I totally understand how days are full of ridicule and no gratitude. For this reason and for the gratitude I have for your employees, I have to tell you what your employees did the other night (on Wednesday, August 18)for my family and I. I called the customer service line because we had no internet or cable television. Max and Jared came to my home to help my family after 10:00 at night. They replaced our cable box and modem that had been fried by a thunderstorm earlier in the day. They went above and beyond to help my family and they deserve special recognition for doing so. read more

Do whatever you can to NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! Worst customer service we have ever experienced. Internet service did not work more often that it did. Great experience with one tech guy who did what he could but higher ups would not give him life es that worked. Do Not Use Cable One!!!!!!! read more

The absolute worst internet service I've ever experienced! It's constantly crashing and going out. They take weeks to send someone out to fix it . The uploaded and bad software so I'm constantly having to factory reset my router! Unless you absolutely have to use them don't !! read more

I'm beginning a daily record of Cable First a little history. I've been a customer for 10+ years with no breaks. I pay for their 600 Megabite plan currently. It advertises speeds of up to 160mps. I write them a check for $150-$200 a month. Every single month. Since moving to Denison a year and a half ago I have had the following "adventure". 1) I have never gone 24 hours without a time when the internet system dropped out entirely at least once. 2) On average I have been without internet service approximately 20% of each day. (This doesn't include rain and wind outages). 3) on average our tv cable has been down half of one day per week. 4) I have called Cable One over 12 times to report outages and ask for help. 5) I have been visited by a tech 6+ times. And a master tech (works the system outside the house) has been out 4 times. I've walked in their building 6 times. Begging for help. Desperate for a solution. I've been promised a refund over 12 times. "We don't give it till the problem is definitely fixed." Today I received my first actual credit. "One month where I shouldn't have much to pay" haven't actually seen it yet. Right now. I have 16mbps available. It's been there for 5 days. So basically I can run about 1 video in the house at a time. Or do a couple slow browsing sessions at once. "Think 3G phone speed without WiFi". I lose about $500 a day in sales (I work from home. Every day it's slow and $1000 a day when it's "out". I've been nice. Patient. Kind. Understanding. I'm still going to be kind. But I'm ready to share my experience. I encourage anyone in Texoma to share this with their friends and neighbors. We all deserve better. Update... Weeks later. No improvement. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. The internet is on one of the best plans and it still has issues. Tech support is closed and the issue was not fixed with last representative however she tried. read more

Got a new modem from Sparklight and was experiencing many problems. James Wilkins was the technician who responded to the work order. He was very knowledgeable and solved my problem very effectively. I really appreciated his professionalism read more

Keep getting, "Please Stand By" message and audio is frequently out of sync with video. Really annoying, crappy cable.

Sparklight is the worst. I have been a customer for three years. Always paid my bill on time. I moved to another city, so I called to have my service turned off. A person from Sparklight came by when I wasn't home (but someone else was there for me) and picked up my equipment. Sparklight claims they never got it. Even when I gave them his name and description and date it was picked up. So they have charged me for an extra month PLUS equipment that was "not returned" I have called several times talking to different people to get it resolved and they say there's nothing they can do since whoever picked it up didn't do their job. I finally paid it because I have good credit and don't want Sparklight to ruin it. So much for being a good customer. Never again. read more

James came out today to install my internet service. This guy is a rock star!!! Cleaned up the old cable wiring from previous installs, tested everything and helped me get networks named and passwords changed. Paying for 200GB and getting 229GB via Speedtest.net. Thank read more

I called Cable One to cancel my service, effective 8/20/19, because I was moving. The CSR told me that they would have to research my new location to see if they serviced that area and that they would call me. I never received a call so today, 9/3/19 I took the receiver back. They are going to bill me for the two weeks I didn't use it because I had not turned in the box. This was not mentioned in my cancellation call! The CSR at their office was unapologetic and insisted I would be billed. I asked her, "so, if I had waited 3 months for you to call me and I never received a call, then you would have billed me for those 3 months? ". She said "yes". Telling you folks reading this, find another service!! read more

I can't wait until competition comes to Sherman because who the hell do you talk to when you are paying for a service after the store closes? If I have issues with any sort of billing or service I'm completely screwed until it opens. I'm aware that this company is not as large and probably can't afford to hire 24.7 call people. But this is a 24.7 service and my work and personal life are VERY dependent on these things unfortunately. read more

Worse service ever! I cancelled our service Sept 20,2021. I am still being billed every month. Impossible to talk to anyone. No one answers local office, no response online. I am fed up. I need my service cancelled. You are not getting another penny. Patricia Greathouse read more

Do not ever use Cable One. They have overcharged me SO many times, and don't bother calling customer service because they are zero help. They screw you over and don't care, horrible customer service. I have never written a review but after all of the money they have stolen from me I had to. Even after cancelling and confirming I had paid my final payment and would not ever be charged again, they sent another bill in the mail a month later! I called to explain that they told me I already paid my final bill and they told me I would not be charged again, and they said too bad! Do not give your money to them. read more
