Spectrum Cable

Spectrum Cable
March 19, 2026 Spectrum started off as an affordable option, but over time the prices have increased significantly. The service experiences frequent outages and the internet speeds often fall short of expectations. Overall, it's no longer a good value for what you're paying
Spencer H.
Hawaiian Telcom Fiber
January 07, 2026 We switched from Spectrum to Hawaiian Telcom after our rates were raised by 75% and.
The switch was relatively painless, quick, and significantly cheaper.
The installation was on time and the technician was fast and knowledgeable.
The download speed advertised is what I receive regularly and we have not experienced any outages yet.
We had switched from Hawaiian Telcom in the past because Spectrum had offered a promotional price that was too good to pass up, however the service and equipment left us wanting.
Hawaiian Telcom has not let me down, in the past and now I believe I will be sticking with them for the foreseeable future.

Hawaiian Telcom Fiber
September 06, 2025 We were only recently able to get fiber in our area, but so far it is much more reliable and fast than the Spectrum service we had before. Pricing is good and service has yet to drop. Being in Hawaii, our Spectrum service was terrible and would intermittently drop all the time. They also had awful customer service with techs that were often not very knowledgeable. Hawaii Telecom has been easy to work with so far and an overall much better experience.
