Had terrible service from first day. My service worked, my wife's didn't. Didn't produce enough power (ordered 1 gig plan) to keep my tvs working. Only the oldest one in the bedroom worked. Called my old company the next day and had my old service restored on Monday.

Omni Fiber

1 of 5 stars August 30, 2026

The most pathetic and worthless piece of shit company there is. My partner and I purchased our first home at the beginning of August and I called to set up Omni fiber (I work from home). The initial conversation went great - lady said it had already been set up in my area and we scheduled an appointment for a tech to come out and connect equipment. She said it would be a max 30 minute appointment. That call was on a Thursday and she scheduled the appointment for Sunday 2-5pm. I received texts to confirm the appointment however Sunday rolled around and no one showed up, texted, called or communicated. Until 8:45pm rolled around when I received a text saying he was on his way and could explain the delay. He showed up, walked around to look at something’s and said he couldn’t do anything because it has been disconnected and a bore would need to be made in our driveway/yard. He said I’d get a text in a few days. A week later I received a text that said I could call to reschedule the final installation appointment however a bore had not been made, there were still flags in my yard. I called anyway and was told a bore wasn’t needed as they did an aerial install with some cables or wires that ran to my house. Ok fine, the soonest available final install was an entire week out. That time comes and a lousy asshole named Castro shows up and is hanging out in our front yard, leaned up against our tree on the phone having a grand time laughing. 45 minutes go by and he finally starts working. An hour in and I realize his truck is no longer out front, he just left. I checked the backyard and his equipment was left in my grass. 45 minutes go by and he calls to say he has to go to a near by town to see if he can meet up with someone who has a router and modem because he didn’t have them. I asked him how the fuck he showed up for this installation without the 2 most needed pieces of equipment to finish the job? Anyway, he calls 20 minutes later and states they don’t have it either and he’d be back in the morning 9-10am to finish. I called immediately and spoke with someone who took all the information and said they escalated to a supervisor who’d call me back within 20 minutes. I waited an hour, no call. Go fucking figure. So I called back. Spoke with another individual who got me over to a supervisor immediately. A worthless one of course who said she “didn't know” to everything but she did make notes and sent them over for someone to call me asap the next morning. 9:30am following morning a manager calls me and says the tech will for sure be back out between 11am-2pm. I told her he said he’d be out between 9-10am? She said 11am-2pm was soonest available for him to return. 2:30pm and no one fucking showed. I called completely unhinged at this point and made it known if someone didn’t get out here and complete this job today, their equipment would be in the middle of the road and they could come pick it up then. From 2:30pm-5pm I was on the phone with an individual named Krista who was just as upset at my situation as I was and was willing to do whatever to help, something none of the other employees even attempted. I was on hold for quite awhile several times but I told her as long as there was a resolution, I’d stay on hold however long necessary. Eventually she reached dispatch and managers who were working to figure out the situation and get the job completed same day. There was no explanation or accountability for no one showing from 11am-2pm but she finally told me someone was on the way (20mins max). I waited and then got a call from a different lady at Omni who said the tech was outside waiting for me and she didn’t want me to miss him. I went outside and no one was there. She deeply apologized as their entire team knew about my situation as that point and checked his location. He was 2 blocks or streets away. She said she updated him and he’d be there in 5. No one fucking SHOWED!!!! I have these motherfuckers and hour before I called back and somehow reached Krista again who immediately reached back out to dispatch. She stayed on the phone with my until a different tech was in my driveway which took about 30 minutes. She had put in a request that a manager call me to speak with me about the entire situation. Didn’t ever get a call? Of course not because this is a company full of bitches who don’t want the confrontation or to take accountability or explain their bullshit. I did however tell them I would NOT be paying for the first 3 months after dealing with this and if they couldn’t accept that, to come get their shit and I’d go with a different company. I explained how much time they wasted of mine so I’d be wasting their money. She put in to give me 3 months free. A guy named John came out and finished the job. When places do shit like this to people, they have no fucking clue what issues they’re causing. Buying a first home and moving is stressful enough, on top of it I work from home and needed service asap.

Spectrum Cable

2 of 5 stars July 21, 2026

have 2 different type receiver boxes for cable. One has inferior broadcasting being an alternate (old) box because running a new line was too difficult, yet pay full price. Reception with buffering often, sometimes the signal just is dropped and then the reboot process. The price is constantly rising and over a few years with less in package went from sub $200 to now above $300. Always a rational cost increase like HBO increase, Federal increase and then Spectrum increase on the bundled service. The cost for over the air is ridiculous but mandatory which is more than my phone per month. The internet speed is a bit above average depending on the test program but for (now $100 per month) it is out of hand.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this service after spending over $100 a month with Spectrum, who would only give me a $10 break in 9 years till I dumped them, then they almost begged me to come back. Digital C setup was fast and professional. The speed is great for me and I use several devices.
