Spectrum

Spectrum took over Time Warner Cable in Los Angeles last year. The action to gain customer trust and liking was to jump the prices %80 for the same service provided. So as a customer to be able to keep the tv going, one must settle for much less service and channels. Still pay a higher price. Even if you have a tv line up package, they will take out channels from your line up without worrying about the deal they have with you, not honoring even their own horrible packages. How is it Spectrum, if we decide to pay less money, to you without asking for permission. This is one of the worst, money hungry, customer unfriendly unprofessional, companies. On the top of 100 horrible companies you must deal with if you want to have a normal household with a tv on.

My Spectrum app crashes 3 times. Takes more than 5 minutes to get the app open. Then you call cause obviously the app can't help. And the IVR hangs up on you. I have to call twice. Then you get people who don't know how to do things like install new service. IVR sucks. App sucks. App shows wrong account balance. You guys charge to accept payments over the phone, while your app reflects HIGHER balances than actual. This is horrible. This company is stealing from people.

Called for service, guy came out and did one TV, supposed to be 4 TV's. Didn't leave notice as what was done, got in his truck and just left, no paperwork was left as to what was done. Said the internet was hooked up in one bedroom was temporary. Called customer service and they said they would have a different tech. Come out the following day, well 2 days later no tech. Yet.

This company is clearly price gouging. No alternatives in our area (Brooksville). So they raise rates while taking away channels, lowering bandwidth, give horrible service and support. Monopoly! Spectrum bad!

Watch out Spectrum customers when you get a replacement for current equipment you may not get the same capabilities of your current equipment. The DVR that I had was freezing up on average about every hour. Called Spectrum and was told to bring in the DVR and it would be replaced. Received the new DVR and started to set it up with my previous recordings. I started receiving messages about conflicts on my recordings. Never had that problem before. Then I started recording 2 shows and wanted to watch a different show. That was not allowed. I could record both shows but had to be watching one of them. That was never a problem before.

I had Spectrum internet for the duration of my residence at my current home I bought last year. They always sent promo product to sell me bundle product for internet, TV, and voice service. They offered 21.99 for upgrading from just fast internet service. I tried to give them more business since they were always really great whenever I called for outage or problem with connection and fixed whatever needed to be done and prompt. However once I ordered the TV streaming service they said at first said all I needed to order that was Smart TV so I thought sure why not.

Do not use this service. They are useless and incompetent when you have an issue with service. I’ve been dealing with issues with my internet for 5 days now. Runaround from them the entire time and no one we speak to will give us a straight answer. We keep getting robo-calls that it is fixed and when we call back to tell them it is not, we have to start all over again. One says it is an outside issue, one says it is an issue with our equipment but the lazy tech called and told us he wasn’t coming after we waited for him. He didn’t call and ask if things were fixed or even call earlier in the day, he called AFTER the scheduled time to say he wasn’t coming. We’ve complained and no one cares so I’ll be going straight to corporate and cancelling. I will tell everyone I know to NEVER use this service. Horrible customer service. Basically non-existent.

After spending approximately 5 hours total on the phone with being cut off 4 times, and scheduling an appointment finally for a technician who neither showed nor called, my issue is still unresolved. This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced in 62 years.

I am in an area that can get no other cable except Spectrum. New customers get low rates. But I have been with them more years. Bright House was wonderful. This Spectrum has raised my amount and I cut all premium channels years ago and now pay more than when I had them. The service keeps malfunctioning. I pay nearly 200 a month. SPECTRUM BAD.

I was a TimeWarner internet service customer for about a year and a half, maybe more when Charter bought TWC and renamed it to Spectrum. In the time since, I've had many outages lasting hours if not days. Repeatedly issues arise, and the only response from tech support is reboot the modem or they'll send out a tech.

If there is any possible way to go with another company DO IT!!! These ** have a monopoly where I live and are stuck with their OVERPRICED, does not work a lot of the times, especially if it rains!!! Their service is the worst I have ever experience!!!

Worst company ever!! In the entire ** human species existence!!! That ever was! And ever will be!!! Substandard internet speeds!!! ** go down every week service at $500 per month!!! And the ** have nerve to cut your service the second you don't pay and even if you pay!! They still don't reconnect the devices or press the ** On button like they should!! Because their ** tech Dept is sleeping on their **!!! Worst, worst company in the entire ** 9 cosmos and back!

We are a cable/internet/phone customer of Spectrum. Both of our TVs are not working. I called the customer service #. Waited 20 minutes for a representative and got a twit who was only interested in selling us other services. I kept repeating why I had called but she kept continuing her sales spiel. I called about a TV issue, not for a sales pitch. Time to switch back to WOW. Obviously Spectrum couldn't care less about customer service.

The Spectrum streaming TV app is a joke and so is their support. A tech admitted their server was not big enough to handle demand. Have had several issues with the app on Samsung TV & on Roku Stick. They want you to call support to report problem but you're on phone ridiculous amount of time. They won't credit your account for the useless service you are paying for unless you create a tech ticket with them. It should be illegal to even charge for a service you can't deliver on. Sometimes you can get a callback option & other times you don't. I end up hanging up after 20 min on hold. I will be canceling the app, putting up an antenna & considering Fios internet. So done with this piss poor run company. Unfortunately not a lot of choices to choose from. Do not buy their app!!!

I switched from At&T/DirecTV 7 months ago. Spectrum offered to buy out my contract w/ AT&T. I submitted all necessary docs for the buyout to transpire and 7 months later not 1 cent has been sent to me. I have spent countless hours chatting, calling and emailing only to be told they are: "backed up". When requesting to speak with a supervisor I'm told "He will tell you the same thing". Where is this type customer service ok beside Spectrum?!? Silly me for thinking they had changed when taking over TWC. HA! It's worse now than it was then for sure. Silly me for coming back. Hope they enjoy the measly $80 they are withholding and that it was worth losing a customer. A credit would have been sufficient but no one has ever offered that in 7 months. I can certainly see why their rating are amongst the lowest in the industry. I will NEVER use them again. Consumers Beware!

Technician came out, hooked up our tv service and did not get the app working right away on our Samsung smart tv so we had to call in. After much time troubleshooting the problem the lady finally tells us we have to wait 24 hours before it will work. I asked for a credit statement for those 24 hours that I can't use the app and their response was that this is how it works with everyone. How am I paying for something I am not receiving. THIS IS THEFT! If they want their payment they get it or turn your service off. How is this ethical?

We have the worst internet service at home, I have called on multiple occasions to this company to solve the problem, send a technician who never arrives on time, then goes unresolved, and the accounts continue to arrive with high prices. I have called the Spectrum customer services to cancel the account and they have left me on hold for more than 40 minutes. It is impossible to deal with companies that do not respect customers.

I made an appointment with Spectrum Cable to install cable service at my residence. When they did not show up at the appointment time I called to get an update on the install time. I was told that we were confirmed for 1-2 pm that day (6-23/18) and they would push my call to dispatch. I waited for 7-SEVEN HOURS!!! And called three times, with NO RESPONSE from Spectrum. Yet I noticed they had already emailed me an invoice for $164. With NOTHING being done!

I have NO desire to keep cable TV equipment. I returned it after deciding to go without cable. Now, several months later, Spectrum is threatening me with some action for not returning their equipment. I DID return it but now have no idea where the receipt is. Anybody have this problem and was able to get resolve?

Spectrum offers low prices the first year for the first time customer then doubles the price in the second. The consumer has little options, depending upon the customer service person you whom you converse. Their App is unreliable and has now been down for 12 hours (6/27/18). This is a consistent problem. I'm extremely dissatisfied and shopping alternative providers.

I have had Spectrum Time Warner for the past 4 months, everyday the internet & phones go down at least 3 times. Their technicians have been here to fix the problem 3 times, but have not been able to fix it. Today I am waiting again for the technicians, but they did not show up, because my phones were down when they tried to call me. If you have another choice of internet providers in your area, go with them, stay away. Spectrum Time Warner is the worse company I have ever dealt with.

Spectrum's web interface is profoundly poor. No matter what I try it never works the first time, so it takes hours to accomplish even the simplest task. They should outsource I/T to that Nigerian prince. Could not be worse. This morning they are rejecting my credit card payments and they say to call my credit card company. When I do, the CC company says no transactions have been submitted. When I call Spectrum support, they say it will cost me $5 to talk to a person, when all I want to know is are they experiencing a problem on their end. This is only one is a series.

Spectrum here in the Camden Maine area has been an absolutely horrible experience especially at a price of $187/month. 1) Phone issues: Many Log Distance calls are totally dropped after making initial contact after less than 15 seconds of connection time. 2) TV issues: Seeing that the screen has numerous dropouts where blank screens results. Very aggravating and now has the SAP turned on without any asking or need of it. Especially on PBS stations. 3) Poor internet service: Numerous dropouts where access is exceedingly slow. For $187/month I expect service that is worth that high price but nothing seems to improve over time. Reporting problems is an even more difficult issue being put on hold for up to 30 minutes. Something needs to change!

We are stuck with Spectrum currently as there is very little competition in Columbia, SC. We have just had our bill increase by nearly $30.00, but our internet speed is so slow, we can't get through an "On Demand" movie. I just did a speed test and my download speed on my computer was 10.40 and upload was 4.75. I have everything turned off except computer and the TV's are hooked up, but not currently on. For this we are now paying $179.99 a month. It's a "cheaper" package to include a phone that is turned off and we don't use. So happy to state that AT&T is running fiber optic cable through our neighbor and we will gratefully be a new customer for their 1000 Mbps and a return to DirecTV.

Spectrum streaming TV app is the worst unreliable app on the App Store. Cuts out all day and night at times whenever I go on it, take forever to load, then tells me the app is unavailable or I’m not authorized to use it. It’s a laughing stock. Waste of money, and I’d never recommend it to even my enemies. That’s how bad their app is, it just plain and simple is not worth paying a penny a for.

We've had Spectrum TV for a few months. It worked ok at first with some tolerable glitches. Since this past weekend, channels blurry, audio not matching up with video. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum. They escalated the problem and told me they would respond within 48 hrs. The next day, Spectrum rep called stating it's a known problem, they are working on it and will be a few months before it will be fixed. We cancelled the service. Not worth the money or trouble.

Since changing over to total a digital service. We had more problems with having to reset the box at least once a week. Was told the reason for the change to all digital was due to service issues created by having combined analog/digital system. I suspect more a reason would be the revenue generated requiring a cable box for every TV in every household, because my service has gone south.

When I signed up with promo offer for $99 a month for TV, cable and internet, there was not a promotion for TV and internet only. I recently received a promotion letter in the mail around my 2nd billing cycle for TV and internet for $59.99. I am under obligation for the $99 promotion for 12 months. I am not eligible for new promotions in 10 months, but I can cancel my service and have nothing. I am now shopping around for better offers.

I would not recommend this company alone for internet services. I was in a promotion for a year, and that year was up. The promotion price of $44 ended, and the price after the promotion went up to $64.99. I spoke with a supervisor at Charter Spectrum they do not offer any special offers to existing customers to retain them. They offer one speed and I don't need 100mbps. All they said was, “Sorry, we can't help you out.” Other companies do offer this, and it would be wise to check into other companies.

This company is totally a fraud place. When I signed up with them two years ago, the offer I had was high speed internet for 40 dollars a month. After one year, my bill went up to 65 dollars/month (because I was told that the offer is not valid anymore), and then couple weeks ago I received a notice that my bill went up to 85 dollars a month (because the offer is not valid anymore)... Indeed I left the company! Also, I wasn't getting the speed that I am supposed to get, and whenever I call to report an issue, they would waste your time over the phone with (unplug the modem, turn off all computers, turn off your tv, turn on whatever, plug back the modem, wait for couple minutes, delete cookies, delete history, restart your laptop, do whatever... For like 30 minutes, then they would say we will send tech within a week!!!) How stupid is that!!!
