June 13, 2023 Spectrum internet is frequently slow and does not work well. It goes out more often then ATT does. In the day and age of smart TV's, when the internet is down, so is the tv. Spectrum needs to improve their services.
A Palmdale, CA Customer
Spectrum Cable
February 09, 2023 Spectrum has really slow internet and it tends to go off randomly throughout the month. The price continues to increase monthly by a couple dollars. This month it went up $5. When you call you cancel or see about the prices, they are either very rude or try to sell you on other services they have. They don't take costumer complaints seriously.
