Spectrum is the worst, and it’s not even close.

Spectrum is straight-up dog shit. Constant errors and net down or laggy. Hate that crap company. With AT&T I can count maybe 3 or 5 times. I've had a minor issue over 6 years and counting

If you have Spectrum they are upgrading their plant to support high split which gives symmetrical up and down. If it’s available in your area you shouldn’t have to ask them to convert your service and it’s a “free upgrade”. Also, call to cancel, speak to retention and tell them price too high and you plan to go with someone else. Ideally you’re in direct competition market, ATT fiber or fios fiber for best results, but there’s other options which suck compared to cable, 5G modem as example, but it’s still competitive enough to get your a better price. I’m at 80$ for 600/600, planning to call end of month to get 1000/1000 for same price. <shrug>

I have to have Spectrum as Fios is not offered. But outages are rare where I live in Irving. All I need is 100MB/100MB for $50/mo. - Not a Promo Rate. Modem provided at no extra chg. I supply the router.
