May 18, 2023 Spectrum provides reliable service but is neither best of breed in speed nor in cost. They are worth considering. Ensure you know all competitors in your area. Do you research, give them a chance, and check out all costs and fees.

April 26, 2023 I enjoy that my subscription is a month to month basis. I feel like the price is still quite expensive. However, I do appreciate that the prices and services are upfront and there is no hidden costs. The connection speed and free trial really had me sold on this particular provider.
