July 04, 2026 There was an issue at installation, but it was resolved. I'm a sr. infrastructure engineer and low latency is important. Frontier delivers whereas Spectrum did not.

May 11, 2026 Spectrum sucks. They have a monopoly in my area and I'm stuck with them. They increase the prices while the speed is crap.

May 14, 2023 Spectrum is an okay internet provider. They initially get you to sign up by giving you a good deal for a year. Then, they find a way to raise the price on you because they know you won't switch providers since it's such a hassle. But the internet quality itself is pretty good, it covers the whole house and is usually pretty fast.
A Plano, TX Customer
Spectrum Cable
May 08, 2023 Spectrum overall has fast speeds, but sometimes the service itself is spotty. At least once every two weeks I experience outages for 15-30 minutes. As someone who works from home full-time, this has been an ongoing issue. So far, I've made several customer service calls about the issue but nothing has been done to fix the problem.
