My internet service provider is spectrum. I am not at all happy with this internet service. I pay almost $80 a month for laggy internet speeds, The internet a lot of times loses its signal, there is a lot of outages in regards to the service. For that price I should be getting a lot better service. I once used to have AT&T fiber and that was excellent. Unfortunately AT&T fiber isn't offered in the area where I live so I'm stuck with spectrum.

I was with spectrum but they kept raising the price and I have cell service through T-mobile and it was a better deal. T-mobile 5g wifi is constantly going out and is slow.

I like the speed, but one thing I've noticed about ATT is that there are intermittent outages of service. I am looking forward to the opportunity to have 5g home internet in the future.

I think spectrum is a good internet provider for individuals that cannot afford more expensive options. Their new customer promotion is good atleast until it expires after a year of service and you have to pay full price. I do like that you can get service without having a contract with them. They increased their speeds recently but the internet always seems to go out couple times a day for like 1-2 minutes which i do not like. They also rent their routers to customers for $5 but i think thats a bit too much since they would take it back anyways and especially if your with spectrum for over 3 years and are still paying the $5 to rent the router.

AT&T Fiber

My only problem with AT&T is that I signed up for the 1 terabyte internet and each time I do a speed test on another app it's only reached as high as 400mpbs. However, when I do a speed test on the AT&T app, it comes out to be 990mpbs. A friend of mine who works with AT&T straight out told me that there is no such thing as 1 terabyte internet yet. So why charge people $80/month and lie to them about something they can't offer? I smell a class action lawsuit!
