Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in New York
Customer Reviews
A New York, NY Customer
Spectrum Cable
March 16, 2026 My experience with Spectrum as an internet provider has honestly been deeply frustrating. Beyond routine slowdowns due to bandwidth, I've consistently encountered significantly lower speeds than advertised for my plan. Additionally, I've faced frequent dropped connections during video calls and have had repeated issues with technician no-shows or delays for critical repairs. On top of all of that, once my 2 year contract had ended, along with the signup promo, they refused to negotiate on the bill. This has left me searching for a new, and obviously better, ISP.

May 12, 2024 Spectrum has been pretty good to us. We had them in our old building, and I opened an account when we moved to take advantage of a new customer deal. The rep who spoke with us was very helpful and kind and helped us get a great deal on our new internet. We moved because of a house fire that forced us out of our old place, and she was very understanding about it. There are outages some of the time, but the service is good enough and the price is now very good so we're happy with our service overall.
