A Indian Trail, NC Customer
Spectrum Cable
June 03, 2023 Spectrum has notoriously bad service in my area. However, they have a monopoly, so it is impossible to try another service provider. They are able to keep prices high because of their market dominance. I am eagerly waiting for fiber to expand out from the city to more rural areas like mine.
