Spectrum Cable
March 08, 2026 Overall I like the service provided by spectrum. I've had them for many years since its whats offered in my area and has reliable reviews. The one thing I don't like is the price. I only have internet and its around $95 a month. Probably buying my own router can help with costs and I did opt for faster speeds so that can contribute. I also don't really experiences outages and when I do they communicate to us what is going on and have an app where I can trouble shoot. I just wish it was a little cheaper
