DigitalC Fixed Wireless
July 18, 2026 I am thoroughly satisfied with this service after spending over $100 a month with Spectrum, who would only give me a $10 break in 9 years till I dumped them, then they almost begged me to come back. Digital C setup was fast and professional. The speed is great for me and I use several devices.

December 23, 2025 I have been a customer for over a decade. I feel like when I have a problem, their phone customer services is patient and friendly. As with everything these days I wish the prices would go down instead of up and I am unclear if I have to have a tech come and assist my problem if there is a charge for the service, I recently order a spectrum modem box which charges a extra $10 monthly fee to use and $10 faster internet connection, I own my own modem currently and was having trouble getting the new one set to my television, so I reconnected my old one and returning the new one until I get a better understanding if it's even necessary to replace it

September 29, 2025 Spectrum has been a consistent and quality internet provider for us for the last 6 years. We especially like that they inform us when there are outages, and how long until those outages are expected to occur. When something goes wrong never have to wonder if its us or them, they tell us right away! Additionally, at no point does our internet slow down enough for us to notice, even at the busiest of times, all 3 of us can stream and work at the same time.
