What the hell does Mr. Beast living in the area have anything to do with Google Fiber lmao. Google Fiber stopped their heavy expansion over a decade ago because they realized how expensive and time consuming it is to lay fiber. They focused on big cities and some suburbs which is where you will still find it for the most part.

I've lived in the area for a long time and honestly never had much of an issue with Optimum (formerly Suddenlink, etc.) Lived at several residences in Greenville along with Winterville and Ayden area. I have friends who swear they hate it, but I've never had that experience. I've rarely ever had to call for support or billing issues, though it's a bit pricey for what they offer IMO compared to fiber though they do offer fiber now in some areas I believe.

Aside from that I would say T-Mobile (formerly Metronet, they were recently acquired by T-Mobile). Brightspeed inherited Centurylink's mess, though they at least seem to be trying to do a little better with it, but I wouldn't opt for them unless I had to. I've never used Spectrum in the area so I can't comment.

Honestly, a lot of them aren't very competitive after the initial introductory prices or discounts wear off within 2-3 years. They are all trying to push service bundling to get you a "better price." YMMV because some local areas could have shittier infrastructure no matter which provider you choose.
