Metronet Fiber
March 17, 2025 I've been a customer since April...having switched as a very long time customer of Spectrum. It was a mistake to switch. I was sold a speed of 1000 and have had speed of less than half of that since day one. Since APRIL I have had FOUR TECHNICIANS come by to rectify the problem. Nothing has changed. Support wants to send yet ANOTHER technician out. I'm not wasting my time. The product is subpar. I don't want to call and get credits, I want what I was sold. I'm out. I implore you not to switch. THE PRODUCT I WAS SOLD WAS NEVER THE PRODUCT I EXPERIENCED...EVER. I am giving two stars only because the technicians were always nice and most of the customer service reps as well.

January 18, 2023 I originally had internet through Charter. But my internet went out frequently. It made it very hard for me to work since I work remotely at times. And I was never reimbursed for the days that my internet was out. Since I have switched to AT&T, I have never dealt with losing internet. The service is reliable, and they have never increased my monthly rate like Charter did before.
