Spectrum Cable
September 26, 2023 Spectrum is a joke. I am a remote employee who depends on high-speed, reliable internet. My internet goes out at least once a week, and the customer service reps have no remorse for how it makes my life really challenging. Additionally, I have gotten in touch with them to get credited for the outages and yet I have never seen a cent deducted from my bill. It's really disappointing, especially because they raised their prices recently. I feel like I'm hostage to this horrendous company - can't live with, but certainly cannot live without.

Spectrum Fiber
April 03, 2023 Overall, I feel satisfied with my internet provider's speed, pricing, and value. However, I do know that other people have problems with Spectrum being slow at certain times. Once or twice per year, there will be outages with this internet provider because they will do upgrades to their infrastructure, but they will tell you ahead of time. In this aspect, this company is very professional in how they conduct business. If I recall correctly, Spectrum operates in about 40 states in the US, so definitely give them a try if they operate in your state!

March 18, 2023 They charge way too much for the service they provide. It frequently goes down and I have speed problems. Their customer service has improved over the years so I will give them credit for that. Overall they need better packages for the services they provide
