June 14, 2023 Internet has been great through spectrum, Came with quality products (Modem/router), Speeds are consistent with No dropout internet service. We do have fiber coming into the area soon so may try out fiber service as it's a bit faster and more reliable then current offerings but I've been pleasantly happy with spectrums offerings.

June 11, 2026 Over the years the bill has increased for assorted fees. I understand inflation but we have not gotten anything better as far as service for this increased fee. It is frustrating to see new customer prices when we've been customers for 15 years.
