Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York
Customer Reviews
A New York, NY Customer
Spectrum Cable
March 16, 2026 My experience with Spectrum as an internet provider has honestly been deeply frustrating. Beyond routine slowdowns due to bandwidth, I've consistently encountered significantly lower speeds than advertised for my plan. Additionally, I've faced frequent dropped connections during video calls and have had repeated issues with technician no-shows or delays for critical repairs. On top of all of that, once my 2 year contract had ended, along with the signup promo, they refused to negotiate on the bill. This has left me searching for a new, and obviously better, ISP.

Astound Broadband Cable
March 21, 2025 I subscribe to Astound which use to be called RCN. I get 500 mbs and I'm mostly satisfied except for the occasional outage which I understand it's sometimes out of their hands. I have been a customer for 5 years and will unlikely switch for now.

Spectrum Cable
May 28, 2023 This current internet provider took over the old one who'd serviced this region for many years. The old one never had price rises, or else they were very minimal. But in my last apartment that I had for over three years, the price of internet never changed. This one raises it every single year. You get a discount rate for the first six months, which bumps up $5 a month in the seventh month without any warning (purposely) and after a year you're on the full rate, which increases every year. It's ridiculous. But internet service has been reliable, which feels like what I have to pay for.

February 12, 2023 Spectrum is one of only two options in this neighborhood and lures you in with a great 12-month deal. After those 12 months, however, the only way to save money is to subscribe to a bundle of services. Frequently, current customers pay more for less than new subscribers for internet. And my most recent 12-month deal was ended a month early and I ended up paying more than anticipated.
