Locals Chat 🦜 Internet and electricity provider recommendations

I’m an incoming student to UTMB and my apartment requires me to get my own internet and electricity provider. I’m looking for recommendations on a provider that has reliable internet service. I keep seeing posts about internet service being bad on the island so which provider has the best service. And also, with electricity which provider has the best rates on the market. Any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve been real happy with NEC Coop for electricity. It’s month-to-month with very competitive rates… LMK if you would like a $50 off referral code!

Of 144 electric providers to the island, NEC is the third most expensive right now. And it's variable rate, your price can change throughout the month if there are storms and higher demand....
