April 08, 2023 Spectrum over time has gone from ok to worse. There are sporadic outages constantly. If you call to trou leshoot an issue, be prepares to be on hold for a while. When you do finally speak to someone, you get transferred around. The amount you get charged is ridiculous.

January 04, 2023 I have had Spectrum internet service for around 6 years and I would say they're ok or decent at best. I have the up to 300 Mbps package and I pay $80 a month for internet alone. They have good 12 months promotions in the beginning but once those run out internet pricing goes up to full price. Despite calling several times and asking how can I lower my bill or what promotions are available there isn't much they can offer me. They only offer to bundle a tv or phone package with internet but it still doesn't lower internet alone by itself and in general you'll still be spending more than less in the end. Another thing I dislike is they do maintenance often at least once a month and your internet will randomly go out usually in the middle of the night but can happen at other times. In general I have experienced alot of outages mostly from maintenance and some from storms. Definitely more outages than when I had AT&T. I can't get AT&T in my area though because the speed is too low and I've been waiting for them to get fiber in my area. Once able I definitely want to switch providers though. Speed of internet with Spectrum has been good. Overall I'd give Spectrum a 5 out of 10 rating.

November 12, 2026 Had terrible service from first day. My service worked, my wife's didn't. Didn't produce enough power (ordered 1 gig plan) to keep my tvs working. Only the oldest one in the bedroom worked. Called my old company the next day and had my old service restored on Monday.
