Spectrum Cable
March 08, 2023 I was happy with Spectrum when I first started out, but then they up their prices every year. That is very annoying and they don't tell you that up front. They also will randomly throw in charges with no heads up or warning. That is also very annoying. I am switching to AT&T fiber in the next few weeks. They have lower prices (although I'm sure they will go up year after year too) but they will also upgrade my equipment for free every 2 years.

November 05, 2026 Service during the day has gotten a little better. However, Spectrum does a lot of maintenance late at night and therefore the TV and Internet go out. Not happy with that since I stay up late.
