Spectrum Cable
April 26, 2025 Every year, like clockwork, our modem stops working. It's the oddest thing. It would seem, however, that the cables around our house are very old. Charter has sent someone out just about once per year to check our internet and get us a new modem, but a couple of years ago, the worker discovered that the cables around our house were basically falling apart. They promised to send someone out to check and change the cables, but they have since failed to do so; now, we simply deal with the poors service, for which we feel we should be reimbursed. Ever since the whole area's internet went out, however, and they fixed it, we've had fewer moments where the internet has dropped. It still happens, but not as often. Still, the workers who have come have been friendly and respectful and the customer service is nice, even if their overall system isn't wholely reliable.

June 14, 2023 My ISP is not the greatest and if I could swap I would, but the alternative is even worse due to higher pricing and lower speed. My internet situation is horrible because I only have two providers to choose from because I live in a small area. I just hope that the two providers don't merge because I will really be screwed then.

November 05, 2026 Service during the day has gotten a little better. However, Spectrum does a lot of maintenance late at night and therefore the TV and Internet go out. Not happy with that since I stay up late.
