5 of 5 stars April 13, 2026

Overall, Spectrum has been great! Pricing is fair and affordable. We rarely have connectivity issues and almost always receive advance notices if the company will be doing any work or maintenance that may cause a disruption in service. They are also great about letting us know when work is done. I also like that we can reset our router remotely using the Spectrum app. All in all we are extremely satisfied with Spectrum's internet service.
