Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in South Carolina
Customer Reviews
Ciara M
Spectrum Cable
June 21, 2025 I was happy with my service in the beginning and happy with the monthly bill. Over the years of having the service my bill has increased by over 70%. When I call and ask why I get someone trying to sell me something instead of answers. Furthermore, when the service goes out it takes a very long time for them to fix it and for how much i pay I should not have to wait that long.

April 03, 2023 The internet works great for the most part. The biggest issue we have had is occasionally it runs really slow or doesn't seem to want to load pages. When it runs slowly, even switching phones to mobile data doesn't seem to help speed it up. My pricing was out of control but I called and threatened to cancel and go elsewhere and they lowered my price to a better number.
