Spectrum

I love that Spectrum reaches such rural places with their streaming network. My family lives out on a farm and Spectrum was one of the few options that we could choose from. And although it was one of our only options, Spectrum has so many options for channels. I love that I can watch my Christmas movies or favorite TV shows all on the same service. I also love to watch college football and I love that I can jump back and forth between games when I am waiting for it to start. And Spectrum is very affordable for how far they stream too.

Mostly it's great but there are several things about Spectrum that are confusing or disappointing to me. Firstly, the due date of the monthly payment could never be changed for me, but it was changed by Spectrum at least 2 - 3 times in less than 5 years. Secondly, the internet goes down for awhile each night around 12:30 AM for daily backup or maintenance or something. I understand this, unfortunately my husband works second shift and he can't get online to distress at the end of his workdays. Another issue is equipment. I had called about another issue last year and the two told me my equipment was old enough that I could get an updated box and pay the same price for better/more service. The device was delivered but it's been sitting in the box for a month. I don't even know what box to replace. They had I could set it up myself but I have ME and cognitive issues and cannot understand instructions, but they won't send anyone to help without charging me. Also there is no way to get any reduction of the bill since I've been such a good and long time customer.

They are my business provider - First you alway sign up for the business plan if you are serious. As a business customer you go to the head of the class when things go wrong as they can. The speed is lightening fast, their customer service is consistently outstanding. I have had Comcast in the past and am so thrilled to not have to deal with Comcast and their "we just don't care" attitude.

I have had satellite companies prior to going with Charter Spectrum. I am so much happier with this company as I live in the Pacific Northwest so whenever there is a storm there is a good chance of losing the satellite connections. Also, the speed of the internet is so much faster than satellite options. Price is high no matter who you go with so I woulld rate that a tie with the satellite company internet

I wanted my mother to have a better internet experience, as she is really into streaming services. We spoke with Avery from Spectrum - Dallas, TX - and he was one of the most stunning agents I've ever spoken with. He was knowledgeable, accurate, and prompt. My mother is super happy with her 400mbps upgrade, and I'm excited that Avery helped make her experience more enjoyable. Thank you, good sir!👍

I have no issues with this internet provider, they are the primary supplier of internet in a small lake town in the back woods of Michigan. The connection is fast and consistent (unlike how spotty Comcast is in my major city) and the cost is fair.

I had Spectrum in the past and I've considered going back to them. Although they offer 'no contract' options, their prices aren't much different from AT&T U-verse. This is the reason that I'm still with AT&T. I will say that Spectrum service is reliable although finding a branch location to retrieve and return equipment isn't very convenient. I had to travel to very undesirable neighborhood during the time that I was a customer. Frankly, that was one of the reasons I decided to do away with their service. Undesirable services tends to come with undesirable neighborhoods. When calling them on yesterday to consider getting their internet only, the representative I spoke with repeatedly gave me bundled service prices against my request. He asked me if I was interested in signing up and I told him no because he ignored my question just so that he could pitch a higher sale. He then told me that he was doing his job and I told him that his job was to listen to the customer FIRST... I assumed that was part of the job. I wish someone could listen to the call. I'm sure Spectrum did not train him in that manner. If you're not interested in a contract, this may be a good option.

I recently contacted Spectrum regarding our internet outage. Rochelle immediately responded and she told us how to fix the problem. She was very patient and consistent. I appreciated talking to a great customer service representative. I assured her that I would write a review online. She serviced us in the the 32703 zipcode.

Well, I probably am among the multitude who like and enjoy many of the features and quality of this particular carrier, but also dislike some of their particular ways of communicating or providing their services. I think everybody out there would change something about their carrier no matter who they have. I will say this, a long as I can afford it, I have no intentions of leaving Spectrum.

Spectrum has been fair with us.I was outside working one day and a lady pulled up and asked about my provider (att) at the time,i told her i hated it and asked if they had any options.She locked me unto a amazing rate on my internet and guarenteed me it will never go up!!!

Not as many outages like DirecTV has. Also, with, Spectrum, my On Demand works all the time. When I was with the other provider, On Demand was more like Off Demand. The only thing I can think to improve Spectrum would be, when we have storms and the messages invade our TV, I'd like an easier way to get rid of it so I can get back to viewing my program. The only way to remove it, is to change the channel and then go back to my program. We should just be able to click one button to clear that message after it's read.

Each department with in Spectrum very courteous, helpful. In our decision in choosing Spectrum with Internet & tv services was based on price. Services that are at a higher grade without the extreme price cost and changes showing on your bill. Also No 2year Service Contracts!!!!

Finding an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is always a tough task especially when taking into account cost to quality. Spectrum is quality internet service provider but at a whopping $70 a month unbundled, is it really worth it? Not all customers are in need of cable, telephone and internet services. It would be nice to see Spectrum offer individual packages free of disadvantageous prices to a non-bundle. Also, everyone could benefit from a customer loyalty discount. Overall their service is great but it would be even better at a somewhat reduced price point.

I'v Had no issues or concerns and their customer service is excellent. For me anyway. All may be a little more expensive, but not enough for me to leave They make up for that in service and reliability. I have had Directv. They are very good but AT&T sucks .

Great service. I should have switched a long time ago. Not only i have their internet service, but mobile and TV services too. No extra fees. I went from $190 per month to $100.

Delivers speed generally at or above promised. Every evening someone with, what I can only assume a huge backup, slows speed down to a trickle though it recovers eventually. Generally streaming has no issues. I have a choice of providers but I’m happy with the service.

Although I know lots of people have doubts about Spectrum, I can say I have been happy with them. We have our internet (which was coming in and out) with other companies and spectrum took the time to find the problem, fix it and haven't had any problems since then.

I have had only positive experiences and I have moved several times since I started using them. Any mistakes on my account , due to frequent moving and were immediately addressed and resolved. The did not even charge me for installation for my last 2 new addresses.

Fast internet most times. I dropped television from them (or anyone) because we rarely watch it. We don't have Fios in our area and ONLY have the option of Spectrum or a dish provider. Our Internet is faster and more reliable than neighbors who use a dish provider.

Excellent service. I don't remember when it has ever been down and I've been using it for about 7 years. Started when it was Charter and now Spectrum but service is better now than when it was Charter. Great service.

I am conflicted. The internet speed is decent but for home phone, internet and basic cable it's almost $190 per month. That's crazy. I called and if I take off the tv access I'll save almost $100. So that's what I'll probably do. They have priced themselves out of my league and I'll get one of the services offered online. Shoot for what I'm saving I could get a few service.

Service is good. I am technologically challenged and they help me. Sometimes, though I get a person that tells me I can look it up on the internet, again, technologically challenged.

Only been screwed over and over by spectrum. Started service at one address, was there for a week. I went with spectrum for the price. It was 29.99 for 400 mbps. Decide to move to a different apartment as the first was filthy. Call the transfer service, they advised I’d get the same service at the same price. I was on the phone for an hour trying to get it set up. Finally someone just made a new account. I said sure, as I wanted off the phone and I have no idea how their systems work. Anyway, I call back as it wasn’t working when I tried to set up. I was on the phone for over 4 hours that evening. Finally the guy advised me of my bill being 44.99. I said no I signed up for 29.99, he said no you didn’t. Anyway I was really upset about the price as I was getting screwed. My new account was only 200 mbps for 44.99. So 15 more dollars and 200 mbps slower. Real cool as a new customer. Finally the guy decides that someone has to come out and fix my router to get it to work. So the earliest someone was available was Tuesday at 6 pm, three days from now. So I go 3 days in a new apartment with no WiFi. Finally 6 pm on Tuesday, the guy is here. I wait and decided to call and was guaranteed he’d be there by 7. I get a call at 6:55 and they said the guy was running 2 hours behind and would be able to come till 9. NINE PM AT NIGHT! So I said screw it im desperate to get it hooked up, I’ll wait. Finally he shows at 9:30 and he was friendly, but figured out that he needs in my apartments cable closet. He couldn’t get into it as the maintenance men leave at 8. Soooo he calls to reschedule, the soonest someone could come was SATURDAY AT 3. I had no option. He apologized and told me to call customer care to get the week credited back, which I did. So I wait a whole week with out WiFi. Finally the comes and takes him two hours to set it up because he got “lost” between buildings. So he advised upon the situation that I should have received the same pricing for moving. He advised I call. I call and explain the situation to two or three times to a rep. He tries to tell me I’m getting the best deal ever. However I kept saying I’m pay 15 dollars more for a lesser service. Finally he understood and sent me to retention. I spoke with Aubrey M. Worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. He constantly kept talking over me and would get louder if I tried to explain. Had no desire to try and solve the problem. I was trying to explain it to him again, and he interrupts and I continue to try talking and he gets louder to where I had to start yelling to ask him if he’d let me finish. He kept saying that what I was explaining isn’t true because they don’t offer that. Finally I forwarded him an email confirmation of my order. Suddenly believes me as if he’s known the whole time. And says he’ll see what he can do and just abruptly puts me on hold. Finally he said they’ll give me 400 mbps as he sees where I had the promotion at the previous address. But they couldn’t lower the price. At this point I was upset and decided I’d start looking for a new provider. So I’ve been looking around. However today I get someone in the mail from spectrum about an exclusive offer for my address of 400 mbps for 29.99. Hmmm. So I call and explain the issue and she is searching etc. gets the account and said they don’t have a plan for 29.99. The rep had no clue what I was talking about, yet I literally had a letter from spectrum. She made me read the letter to her before she believed me. Finally I explained the situation and she tried to see what she could do. Ended up saying they can’t do anything better, sorry. So I advised I’d be switching providers as I’ve just been screwed too many times. And she said okay, well when you need help doing that call back. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I can get google fiber for cheaper than my 50 dollar bill with spectrum.

Outage in my area that did not affect me but Charter techs took my business service down without warning. When I spoke with one of the techs onsite, he was very rude and arrogant stating “we don’t have to let any customer know that we are taking down their service”. He wasn’t wearing a badge so I did not get his name. Although you may not be “required” to notify your customers...it would be nice if you considered your business customers. We were in the middle of conducting business and it didn’t matter to these individuals. A simple “we apologize” would have went a long way. It’s called customer service Charter....you may want to try it some day! Please remember, your technicians represent your company. If I treated my customers like your tech treated me, I wouldn’t have any customers!

Three calls to their tech's were required to fix a problem that shut down all services, internet, phone and TV. It was only after all the neighbors complained about the same problem that it was fixed. Only a few days later the Spectrum supplied virus program labeled the Spectrum(Charter) Email program as harmful. The work around is easy but the problem still exist.

My experience has been pretty good. They do not cost and the streaming for devices connected to wifi is pretty face. I do think that their tv provider is a bit expensive but I do feel like they could expand more.

I've been a customer of cox for over 15 years! We never had any issues until we moved out of the city into a town. It seems like my internet is always acting up. I still though feel like they are still the best that is out there

My expierience with this provider has been mostly positive. The advertised DL speed is mostly under ideal conditions. What I get is generally adequite for my needs, though. T.V. reliability is 100% better than my previous service.

We've always had good internet service with good speeds and awesome protection. There have been occasional disruptions but very few over the past two years. People like to complain but the truth is that Charter provide very good service.

Spectrum has good customer service for the most part . When there service works it works amazing my problem is with there mobile service it’s terrible where I live and after calling 20 times and being told it must be my new iPhone 12 SIM card and that I was stuck with crappie phone service I wouldn’t recommend it at all

I was a customer for over 15 years and the costs just kept increasing exponentially. I got tired of calling every few years to negotiate a new rate. The internet speed was OK most of the time and most of my interaction with CSR's was OK. In the end, I just felt like I wasn't a valued long-time customer.
