September 24, 2025 Spectrum’s prices are actually pretty decent, which is what made me sign up in the first place. I like that I’m not overpaying for internet like with some other companies. That said, the service itself has been super frustrating. My internet goes out way too often, and when it does, it takes forever to get fixed. It’s not just a quick blip and sometimes I’m stuck without internet for days. Calling customer service doesn’t help much either; they’re polite, but things move really slowly. I’ve had repair appointments get canceled or delayed with barely any notice. When it works, the speed is solid, but that doesn’t mean much when it’s down half the time. I’ve honestly thought about switching to a different provider. Overall, it’s cheap but unreliable, and that’s a tough trade-off.

June 23, 2025 I've used this for 9 months and have spent hours trouble shooting terribly slow speeds. When I call for technical help we just go through the same steps again and again and it never helps. Stuck in 36-month contract for something that doesn't work.

August 20, 2024 Spectrum is a good internet provider. It is fast and can handle three people using it without issue. It sometimes cuts out and needs to be restarted by unplugging the router, but for the most part works without issue. Sometimes streamed TV shows and movies briefly pixelate. It doesn't slow down at any point during the day.
