Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in California
Customer Reviews
Paul P
Spectrum Cable
March 30, 2026 My current internet provider is the only one available in my apartment building. At the end of the promotional pricing they will increase your rate astronomically. You then need to call their support line and speak with the billing team. The billing team will try to up sell your service, when all you want is a price reduction. The billing team will tell you that your rate is the lowest for the service already. You then need to ask for the retention department. Once transferred, the representative magically finds the ability to adjust your rate closer to what you were paying before. I believe that if you increase the rate, the service that is provided to your home should also benefit from that increase. I also wish that cable internet should be symmetrical and should need to advertise both their upload and download speeds.
