Build your human-first life.
If you were starting from scratch, these are the 4 providers we'd choose to make your life as friction-free as possible. Every one ranked for how easy it is to reach a real person.
Google Fiber
US-based agents, fast pickup, no excessive automation. The gold standard for US ISP support - if it's available in your area.
⚠️ Limited to select cities
T-Mobile (US)
"Team of Experts" routes you to a dedicated group rather than a random queue. Shorter waits and more consistent service than the big two.
Duke Energy
US energy is largely regional so your options are limited - but Duke is accessible and covers a large footprint across six states.
⚠️ NC, SC, FL, IN, OH, KY only
Kaiser Permanente
As both insurer and provider, care queries are simpler to resolve. Member services are accessible and coordination calls often go through without long holds.
⚠️ HMO - available in select states
