July 25, 2026 It goes out often. The router typically has to be reset multiple times and there are no other options available.

July 22, 2026 Several outages lately. It was down today but it is running slow. I put in a ticket and the speed of the response will determine wether I go back to Spectrum or not.

A Parker, SC Customer
Spectrum Cable
May 01, 2026 If there was another affordable option for internet service, I would choose it. There have been multiple issues where the internet has gone out at random and I've had to call customer service to have them help me troubleshoot. Also, when a hurricane happened last year and our service was out for two weeks, Spectrum didn't offer a credit towards our account.

Spectrum Cable
April 26, 2026 I've been using spectrum for a while now, and the service has been pretty reliable .The internet has consistent speed and i rarely experience outages. The installation process was simple and the technician was really helpful. I stream movies, attend zoom meetings and browse smoothly without any issues.
