Spectrum Cable
April 06, 2023 I signed up for Spectrum because they offered a "triple-play" with phone, TV and internet. The price was good. However, after a year they increased the price. They continue to increase it a little bit every few months. I am fairly satisfied with the performance, but the price is unfair. They charge a lot of fees which really don't provide much, it's just a way of charging more money for them.
