    Went to Best Buy. Bought an unlocked phone that they said works for Spectrum. Went to Spectrum and opened my phone in the parking lot. Went inside and was told that Verizon red flagged the phone even though I know 2 people who use the phone through Verizon. They told me I had to buy one of their crappy no memory (128gb) phones. So I did. Now I have to restart that same phone 20 to 30 times a day just so it will work for approximately 15 minutes at a time. Everyone says that they have the same great service as Verizon which is a lie. Now after leaving AT&T for crappy service I am really disappointed and should have NEVER left AT&T. I would rather pay more and actually have a phone then to be wanting to just throw my phone in the trash every day. Think I am going to go back to AT&T as soon as possible. Worst service in history for me. Nothing like Verizon or at&t. You pay for what you get I guess.

    I employed Spectrum around April of 2012. Phone, internet and cable cost me around $117.00 per month. Over the years my bill was raised (no surprise) but after a few years, I had to reduce my cable services because it was getting too expensive. I would call periodically, after another raise, and inquire as to how I could reduce my bill. The associate, more times than not, would offer additional services at a "special" price. More than once I had to remind them that I needed to reduce my bill and not add to it. But they just didn't get it.

    I have never made a late payment and stuck with Spectrum until I received three (3) raises in my bill this year alone (2025). I finally dropped Spectrum this past Summer. I talked to an associate on the phone and an associate in person and was told both times that I had a zero balance due. Fast forward to today (December 1st, 2025) and I received a message that I had a final monthly balance due of $317.81. I lost it. The service was ok all these years, but I had regular screen freezes, hesitations, and glitches over the years, not to mention the many, many times that my phone service was unavailable. Stay away from Spectrum. It's just not worth it. ** organization.

    I have been a Spectrum customer for 3 years. I am 70, and have health issues. My experience with customer service has shown me they have NO consideration for the elderly. My TV has been having "channel unavailable" 4-5 times a day. 15-30 minutes each time, for 14 days. My cable HBO still works. I was on the chat for almost an hour trying to fix problem. He was not able to do so and an appointment was scheduled. That was fine. From then it was downhill. First, he knew that I was elderly and that the TV and the computer I was working at were not in same room. I had to get up over a dozen times to go check on something for him. I guess I wasn't fast enough because I kept getting messages that the chat was going to be disconnected. Then when we set the appointment, he left the service worse than I started. He told me he didn't do anything and that I was basically lying or senile.

    I asked for a number to leave a complaint and he gave me an incorrect number for that. When I finally got customer service the man from Texas I got was worse. He basically said that Spectrum would never work to help the elderly, steps are the same for everyone (in my wheeling back and forth to two different rooms) and that because I am elderly I MUST wait for a technician to come. Yet continue to pay for a service I'm not getting. He said it's not Spectrum's fault that I am elderly and cannot follow their instructions fast enough. If the chat person that comes on is ALAN and you are 70 or older you are not welcome as a Spectrum customer.

    They kept raising bill, 12, 13, 20, 40 dollars. They just add items you didn't request. Service says, "Oh you need to check your bill and call within 30 days," BS. They say Spectrum TV you get free apps to download. Not true. You have to buy a bigger package and then they're included. Went to the 15 TV package and lost apps.

    I am writing about Spectrum mobile department. I will advise anyone who thinking about getting with this company's mobile service to think twice about doing so. I signed up for their mobile service, thinking I will get coverage in rural areas and such, but couldn't get any at all, which is why I returned the phone back before the 10 days they give you if you are not satisfied with the service. Keep in mind you will have to pay a restock fee if you still return the phone back opened even with no damage.

    Spectrum refunded me back the down payment for opening up the service once they received the phone and emailed that they have received the phone, they was gonna charge me the restock fee. A month later, they charged me $50.00 on Black Friday for the restock fee that they supposedly have taking out the same day they refunded me the down payment charge. I called about it to complain why did they charged me $50.00 when I no longer have mobile services with you plus that phone returned back to you all under 10 days. They said it was restock fees. Why wouldn't you take the $50.00 at the same day you refunded me the down payment?

    The answer the supervisor could tell me or whoever the lady was excuse was that they couldn't take out at the time. That is bogus, everything is on the same card. Then she did any other valid reason of why they would do such a thing. Very deceitful company. I also asked why no one have informed me that they couldn't get the restock money of my card at the same time they refunded me. Again no valid answer, but yet you can do it on Black Friday over a month of canceling mobile services with these people. Just an evil thing for these people to do. I told her that was my gas money to get back and forth to work with and you all wait till over a month to draft $50.00? Do not trust a company that will do deceitful practices like this.

    I waited three hours on the phone with them, & all they told me in the end of the call is there was nothing they could do for me, they do not have any more deals to offer to me, why I had to be on the phone for 3 hours for nothing then, My problem at this point is still unresolved… The last supervisor from customer solutions dept. treated me like dirt, and literally argued with me for one hour, mocking me & yelling at me over the phone, then hanging up on me… I honestly tell you people to avoid this company because you will end up like me, & regret ever giving them your business & money… SPECTRUM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS, ONLY YOUR MONEY…

    I was a loyal customer for over 14 years. Yes, you read that right. 14 years. It wasn't that I was ever happy about having Spectrum, but they ran the gamut in my location unfortunately. Long story short. I paid $90/mo for YEARS. No offers, no discounts, etc. Called at random times throughout the years to get it lower, but they can't help, I am on the lowest plan, yadda, yadda, yadda. Mint Mobile hits the scene, and I decide to try them. Service is great, internet for what I need, without overpaying for what I don't. I call to cancel, and it was a 45-minute phone call, of guilt tripping, putting their competition down, etc. The guy offered to do this and that about 10 different times, and finally got to where they were willing to match Mint Mobile's price. I told him no, if Spectrum valued me as a customer, they would have offered their best price 35 minutes ago, and 14 years ago.

    If I have to call in every year to fight to keep my rate from going up, or If I have to threaten disconnecting service for the mere possibility of reducing or keeping my current rate, then the value isn't there for me. The reason I like Mint Mobile? No gimmicks, pricing stays the same, and reliable service. That is all most customers desire in any service they purchase. Spectrum could benefit from studying their competition. I will never go back.

Then when I called back to cancel, all of the sudden the CSR said he could keep the rate flat. I was on the phone for 45 minutes with this guy, telling him at least six times that I was done with them. But he would not give up. I was just about to ask for his supervisor when he finally did.

How about they record everything you say when called g the customer service lines but dont have an record of what the representative said to you. To get out of the service contract is not an easy process at all and they say one thing like yes this is your final bill, there will not be any further charges unless you don't return the equipment. Only to get a surprise bill a month after you turned your services off and returned all equipment on time.

    The managers are just as useless as the representatives you talk to on the phone. They don't care anything about having loyal customers for over 10 yrs, 5 yrs, or 6 mo!!

    Spectrum takes customer service to new lows. When I tried to talk to them about changing my service the chat people would not talk to me because I could not give them a supposed Spectrum pin that I did not know and as far as I know I never received. If I had I would have had it on an accounts spreadsheet. When I wanted to close my account and return my equipment I was told that I had to go to a Spectrum store to do it.

    Spectrum closed their stores in more populated Ocala and the nearest one was 25 miles away in smaller Wildwood. Not knowing that there were TWO County Roads 466 in Sumpter County I could not find the store. When I called the store for directions I got some corporate office that could not call the store. On my way home I saw a Spectrum service truck. The tech could not take the equipment but put the address into my phone, Then Spectrum wants me to pay for a month service when I only had it for 14 days because of some agreement from over ten years ago.

First I was told I sent it back after the return time frame (it was not a return, but a warranty exchange.) Then it was that I should have sent it to Samsung directly (Spectrum's rep told me to send it back and sent me the new on). Then I called again and got a manager. Now they are saying I sent in a D grade damaged phone. It was not damaged, but had barely been used and kept in a case. They will be sending me the "pictures" of why they graded it low.

    Where to even begin. I've been a Spectrum customer for about 7 years, and I had never, NEVER had any issues till the past year. I upgraded my mobile service to be able to upgrade my phone whenever I want as they advertise. But when I went to upgrade my phone, it turned out that the person who created my account entered my SSN wrong. So I spent a year trying to fix the issue with them. Then! After I was able to get ahold of someone who could help me with the upgrade, I was finally able to upgrade my phone. HOWEVER! I was told I had a 14 day period that if I didnt like the phone I could trade it in. So, before the 14 days I called to upgrade, SAME ISSUE. They had to put in ticket after ticket. By the time someone got to me, it passed the 14 days. SHOCKER. Then they kept saying there was an issue with SSN again.

    Another 3 months trying to fix it. I was told it was fixed. So when I attempted again to upgrade, I was told my anytime upgrade wasn't available. Then someone else told me on my SSN was on a block list. Never herd of that before and the agents couldn't explain why either. Kept giving me the rub around, did everything they asked, for them to tell me they couldn't do anything. So, moral of the story. They are false advertising the anytime upgrade. They enable it if you upgrade once, and if you keep trying to use a service you're PAYING for, they add you to a block list which prevents you from upgrading. Bravo spectrum. What a scam you have become. My bf ended up taking over my account to see if he could upgrade since it'll be a new SSN but NOPE! SURPRISE!

    Spectrum comes out with excuses to not upgrade, now its not the SSN, now it's the financing part. Even tho they keep telling you you can upgrade WHENEVER, HOW MANY TIMES YOU WANT, TO WHATEVER PHONE YOU WANT. And you pay for all of this just so they can come back and give you BS excuses to block you from using a service you're paying for. DO NOT USE SPECTRUM. THEY ARE A SCAM.

    Several years ago I signed up for the Spectrum cable and Internet offer with the total being a little over $100, for both. My current bill is over $170 and I have the basic plan for cable and Internet. I purchased their Xumo box instead of renting their cable box, which brought my bill down for a month and then it went back up. Their rates are far too high and I am buying my own router and modem with the next step being a change in provider. I gave them 2 stars because their service is good, both internet and cable and their customer service is typical of the times, so if you must contact them, do not expect abortion average service.

    Spectrum refuses to close my account, keeps billing me & adding late fees. Their equipment was sent back to them 10.14.25 via Fed Ex. I am legally DEAF. So I did their live chat October 5, 2025. Spectrum told me the account would be closed October 26 due to non-payment. No, I've already signed up for T-Mobile, that is $10/month vs. $100/month with Spectrum. They refused to cancel my services. I am the customer. And they refused to cancel. They told me I had to call them, even tho I am legally Deaf.

    On 10.10.25 at 4:23 PM, I called Spectrum 5 times because I could not understand their prerecorded messages. Finally got a CSR on the phone. She told me the same thing as the Chat employee. That my account would be closed on 10.26 due to non-payment. I said No, I wanted it closed NOW, equipment is being FedEx'ed back. I didn't want to be billed yet again, which would be a THIRD BILL by Spectrum. She assured me I would not be billed a THIRD time, that they would just remove that bill. Surprise, Surprise. Not only did Spectrum add that third bill, they also added late fees.

    On 10.13.25 I shipped their Spectrum Return Kit, they received it back the next day on 10.14.25. So like others, they have their equipment back yet are still billing me, plus Late Fees. I have now paid $208.95 for period ending Service from Sep 11 - Oct 10. I am not paying for another month at $108.95 beginning on 10.11 since I contacted Spectrum on 10.5 & 10.10, which was the last day of that billing period, where Spectrum assured me I would NOT be billed, then billed me anyway, plus late fees. They have also called my phone line for Deaf customers over 60 times. I want my account closed.

    They can erase the BS $108.95 that the Spectum CSR told me would not even be charged. Supposedly Spectrum records their calls, they can go back and listen to this conversation. Stop calling my phone. Close this account immediately. Bonus-they enrolled me in Paperless Billing. I have UNchecked that box 3 times, but each time I look, it's checked again. I haven't received an actual bill from Spectrum in over a year.

We scheduled an onsite Technical appointment or yesterday (10/22/25). Our technician's name was Sayed. He very methodically and professionally identified the problem as the existing cable wiring was not updated enough to handle the new Modem's speed.

    I had internet equipment that worked fine for many years. Until they informed me on the phone that it was old and they wanted to send me updated equipment. So I agreed. Well the new equipment makes my internet slower than what it was. The reason is that my old equipment was running at a high rate of speed due to the equipment itself. It wasn't until a month later that I found that out from the Spectrum technician that came out to test my line. So Spectrum knew this when they ran a speed test when I initially called. Which explains why they were so adamant about sending me the new equipment. And every time I have called or chatted with customer service since, they have suggested that I upgrade my speed (band width) package. Who would have thought a large corporation like this would be so deceitful and scam their customers. Pathetic.

    After decades of using Spectrum we were tired of the constant price hikes and high costs; we were spending $240 a month (!!). Worst of all, there was poor internet speed when tested with a speed tester, often 40-60 MBS download and 15 upload. And this living in town in Appleton. TDS moved into the area last year; after procrastinating for 8 months we finally called them and within a few days they efficiently slit-trenched a cable to our house and hooked us up within 2-3 hours. We now pay $49 a month guaranteed for 2 years. We use a Roku stick on our TV so we still get all the services we had before (HBO, Netflix, Disney, Britbox etc.). Best of all we can now download at 500 MBS!

    Finally, you are required to go in to a Spectrum store to cancel. The man we dealt with was so dour it made us extremely uncomfortable. We felt like he could go postal on us at any second, and treated us as if he was doing us a favor and had just come from a funeral. With all the above in mind (and excluding the sour man), we have terrific internet capabilities, and have lightened our budget by $200 a month. A great load off of us. Now we're kicking ourselves for being lazy and procrastinating for so long.

Refused to credit and refund any part of the payment I had just made, and needed the modem returned, despite that they tried to say the service wasn't good as the modem had become obsolete, but they still wanted it returned.

None of these promises were kept. * In Mexico, my phone had no data. Spectrum admitted the rep promised 30 GB but refused to honor it because their system was not allowing it. * My internet bill came at $69 instead of $40 — only fixed after complaints.* The first iPhone trade-in was denied after receiving the new phone because it was not getting done in the right way on their system and they said that.

    * In September 2025, the second iPhone trade-in (receipt showed $195 credit) was later denied. After we returned it with video/photo proof, Spectrum falsely claimed the phone was “damaged” and kept it. The photo they sent wasn’t even the right device. They refused to return the real phone. After filing complaints with the FCC, Attorney General, and BBB, Spectrum finally admitted mistakes, apologized, and issued partial credits ($30 and $599.99). But they still refused to refund the phone or return it. This isn’t just us — the BBB is full of similar complaints: false promises, denied credits, and fake “damaged” phone claims.

    Unfortunately, Spectrum has been less than ideal for me. I had services through Spectrum for a few years and it was just one thing after another. The services, which may have been dependent upon my location, was honestly horrible. I had to reboot my equipment weekly and at one point had to completely change out equipment, that then proceeded to still have issues. Service aside, the monthly costs became astronomical. The opening account deals are great, until you've been there a year and then you're paying a ridiculous amount per month. Additionally, the communication about services is sub-par at best. The payment periods are different from service periods and this is not clearly communicated. Proactivity is not something they know about!

    I am not one to complain about services, business, or anything really. However, I felt it necessary to be clear on how disappointed I am with Spectrum. The phone support staff is very professional and does their jobs well, but this does not make up for the inadequacies throughout the rest of the company.

    I’d like to warn anyone of dealing with Spectrum internet or cell phone service. We have used their service for fixed phone and internet for our home and business. Recently they offered to give us a rebate of $ 2500.00 for our cell phones if we would pay off our T-Mobile phones and transfer to Spectrum services. It was all offered over the phone with no documentation. It was a good deal but each time we talked it was with a separate individual and something new was presented. Third call I was told I would only get $500.00 per phone. I was later told to have three receipts of T-Mobile payments, the later 4 receipts. That was after we had cancelled T-Mobile and couldn’t access the account. Then we were told to send text of the purchase cost of our T-Mobile phones, then told that wasn’t sufficient and to send credit card statements showing the payment.

    We did and were then told it was too late in spite of an email 5 days old, that stated we had 30 days. I pressed for more supervisor contact and finally was told we would only get $500.00 not $1500.00 to offset the $3,000.00 spent to pay off T-Mobile phones. They said all our documents were accepted but they based their decision on my credit. I had 22 years with my last cell phone provider, 10 years with Spectrum with no late or non payment. Then they said it was my credit rate, which was 850. The reply to that was, “I can’t tell you why, goodbye.” Don't trust Spectrum unless you have their plan documents and are talking with one person.

    These guys are scammers. Another reason why America is going broke. Customer service rep try selling me 100 dollar plan with a mobile when it clearly said on the website for 70 dollars. On call way too long. Was on for nearly an hr and nothing resolved. Still paying 90 bucks for 100mb speed internet. When you can get 1 gig for 70 dollars from the website add. On website it says for only 30-40 dollars for the current speeds I have now. He also told me he can do a 50 dollar plan for the 500mb speed with a new modem box and will be sent out the next day. Put on hold again and told me I couldn't do that anymore when he clearly told me beforehand he could. He said the computer wouldn't allow him. I think more like his scammers supervisor wouldn't allow.

    All I wanted was to lower my price back down but these scammers of America keep selling you things and rising the prices up every year. Also wanted to add that, the Spectrum cable that connects to the powerlines in our back yard had fail or broken off something. It is nearly hanging half way down our backyard to the point you can grab it with your hands. I've called them months ago and they told me they'll send someone out to repair it. Has not been repaired since and nobody has contacted me

    These people have no freaking idea how to fix a very simple problem with the internet and spend hours even days to fix a simple solution. Worse of all they took multiple channels down due to them not making a deal with Disney taking FXX, Freeform and Disney XD off permanently and they still expect me and other customers to pay the bill when they took multiple channels off. Then they use the excuse of using Disney+ in their package when they could of just made a deal with Disney and settled this nonsense with each other

    Had Spectrum internet for a 17 years. Every time they raise price and lower speed and quality. I started from $35 per month and raised to $85 (Discount $10 included). Very poor technical service on line and at the house, I called multiple times, spent hours on the phone. After service my internet worked no more than few minutes after service support left my house. The worst thing that I paid for 400 Mbps and real speed was about 20 Mbps so I couldn't watch a stream. Now I connected with fiber optic 100Mbps and paying twice less with normal speed. Spectrum is the "Scrooged Past", so ... and have a nice day. Put 1 star because Zero stars option is not available.

    Don't do it. Their customer services is horrible. I found out this morning that cancelling your service REQUIRES at least 30 minutes on the phone with a rep offering you deals to stay. They will REFUSE to cancel your service or let you speak with a manager during that period. I said I wasn't willing to stay even if they offer me free service, so the rep went on for another 29 minutes. It was the most frustrating 30 minutes of my life and for that I will never give Spectrum another dime of my money. Aside from that, their pricing is high (I am now getting better service for 30% less). Service is mediocre at best and I am much happier with my new AT&T connection.

    My experience with Spectrum has been profoundly awful, almost comically so. At some point, along the string of absurd and preposterous experiences I had with Spectrum, it became a fascination for me. My frustration turned into awe. Then I started thinking about AI. Could it be the next Industrial Revolution? - Will it replace the workforce? - I had a moment of clarity, and cried out “yes!”. If Spectrum has taught me anything, it’s that this dystopian AI hell we all fear is a certainty. Companies like Spectrum have already stripped any humanity and empathy from their customer interactions. Maybe this is part of the plan, maybe one day we’ll demand AI save us from these awful humans. We’ll see I guess. Anyway, if you crave the cold embrace of a machine Spectrum is the right choice for you.

    I have had internet service with Spectrum for years for $39.99 a month and my ending cycle is on the 3rd of every month. Hawaii Telecom had the promotion for $20 a month so I decided to switch to Hawaii Telecom and cancel Spectrum and return their equipment on the 5th. For 2 days of using Spectrum's internet service, the 4th and the 5th, Spectrum charges me $100 and the reason is my promotion ends on the 3rd so my rate goes up from $40 to $100 and since I only used 2 days I have to pay for the whole month which is $100. This is a garbage company. Maybe I should do a class action lawsuit against this company.

    Man was I relieved when I had to move and Spectrum assured me it would be no problem. I was thrilled to learn they were delivering equipment the day of my move in so that I could have internet set up. I placed the order on 9/10 and I was moving 9/20. Although I must admit I was a little trepidatious, I confirmed my order the next day where I was made to feel comfortable and confident that my order would indeed show up on the date of my move in! I just needed to wait for the shipping order and I could track it, no problem. As the day to my move in got a little closer I began to get a little nervous I wouldn't have my equipment. Luckily I talked on chat and on the phone 2 days before my move in where I was reassured I would be receiving my equipment on the day of my move in. Thank goodness.

    You see, I normally have little faith or success in people doing jobs I pay for or telling the truth about services. Luckily, Spectrum assured me they were different. Perhaps my outlook on life was mistaken, and maybe this company was reputable and did what they said they would do after all! Silly, grumpy, doubting, me. I need to have a more optimistic outlook on life. Moving is always especially stressful so I'm glad this company has my back. Today, the day before the move in, I received that confirmation tracking email. Relieved and assured I happily opened the email to find that everything every single customer service representative (4 different ones) had told me was indeed a lie and I was right to be apprehensive. My equipment is now being delivered days after the move in, surprising me in the least. Just another company lying to their customers and refusing to do their jobs. Thanks Spectrum, for absolutely nothing. 0 out of 5 stars.

    I recently switched to Spectrum Mobile under the promise that with my switch, I would receive internet service for $30/month for two years. Unfortunately, that promise has not been honored. From the very first billing cycle, I was charged $50/month for internet. I called customer service and spent over 45 minutes on the phone, where they assured me the issue was fixed. The following month, the exact same thing happened—I was billed $50 again. After another 30-minute call with customer resolution, I was told once more that the problem had been corrected. Yet, on my next bill, nothing had changed.

    When I pressed them, Spectrum told me they had given me a “free line” for a year instead. That was not what I agreed to. I made it very clear that I wanted to pay for both lines and receive internet at $30/month for two years, exactly as promised. I even have this agreement in writing, but the billing issue still has not been resolved. This has been a frustrating and time-wasting experience. If you are considering switching to Spectrum Mobile, I strongly recommend you stay away. The lack of follow-through, misleading promotions, and poor customer service have been incredibly disappointing.

He took the card and slid it through his slider at his computer (I thought he was charging the fee). He then hands it back to me and and points to the card reader to pay.

They said nothing they can do & my bill is now 120$ a month for basic wifi so I switched to T-MOBILE. I called them back to cancel. Now all of a sudden they can make my bill 55$ month which piss me off even more. So I said, "No thanks." I still canceled, my bill starts on the 2nd of each month.

    They refused and made me still pay them $120 with their equipment in their possession that I delivered to them knowing I can't use the wifi no matter what the rest of the month & nothing they would do to cut the bill in half.

    Spectrum, when it works, is typically fine; however, you never know when it will stop working completely. When it stops working as intended, you either get no internet availability or the service is completely useless. Last time Spectrum went out, it took them an entire day just to fix the issue, and after the issue was "resolved," internet speeds had been more than halved compared to how they were previously. Ping spikes were and still are constant, taking me from an average of ~43 ms to nearly 15,000 ms every few minutes. It becomes impossible to load anything when the service is so horrible.

    Upon trying to contact Spectrum, they, of course, are using an AI service so that they do not have to hear people complain about their horrible product. If I could talk to a physical person, I would have; however, the AI I was forced to talk to kept talking over me (something I didn't think was actually possible) and made it impossible to request access to a real representative.

    I tried Spectrum Internet for over a year. I had a different provider when I lived in an apartment. In two years we probably had service down 3 times. With Spectrum, I lived in a house the internet went down several times a month. When I wanted to cancel service, they force you to call so they can talk you into staying. They then try and get you to add more services to keep you from leaving. They offered me less speed then I'm getting with my new carrier, wanted me to switch my cell phone service to them to save $10.00

    The representative asked me who my mobile provider was so she could send me a code. When I asked why she said it was because some providers charge a fee for texts. So?? I know that they ask so they can try and sell you more service. It takes 15 minutes to "cancel", so they waste your time trying to convince you to stay. Finally, the report offered you have a technician come out. They send notification as every time the service is out. Now, they're suddenly concerned. Where was this concern when the service would be out for hours?

I then go online and check, and voila, somebody at Spectrum has added a landline for $25 and basic TV for another $25.

I try to explain that I don't use a landline and I don't watch much tv. It doesn't work. They keep insisting that I need these services and try to sell me some more. I'm a nice, nice person so I keep my voice low and friendly and insist that all I want is internet. They will NOT LISTEN.

Now cancelling and they want to charge $100 for 4 days of spotty service. The tech that did come to my house was INCREDIBLY rude and useless. Their phone and chat support are useless. DO NOT USE.

    We had spectrum for 5+ years it worked but advertised speeds and actual speeds were differing. When decided to try another service they would not cancel the current months service not even 1 day into billing cycle we had removed their equipment and stopped using their service. I went to store and was assured would not be charged 3 separate times from managers and managers from in store and on the phone all said it would be fine.

    We got notices for following months and kept coming and now there was late fees and it threatened to go to collections after arguing with store employees and customer service we just paid it it wasn’t substantial amount, but principal remand. Worst customer service. Will probably not try again had no issues with them besides speeds for long time but then when we did they acted like they could do something when they can’t even do simple things. Was promised not to worry about it I don’t know how many times till the collections notice came saying it’ll go to collections then all the sudden they can’t do anything about it had to explain canceled service on time every time to them but they did not believe us. They still send cards every week to start again.

    Run from this company as fast as you can! I’ve been a customer for almost 5 years now and just canceled my service, which was a nightmare to do! Starting in February of this year the internet would go out on a daily basis and they’d have the excuse that they are actively improving my service. On three separate occasions my internet was down for a week at a time! After dozens of phone calls, emails, complaints, chat communications, the most I have ever been refunded for almost 100 outages is $27.00!!

    I live in a pretty rural area so our options are extremely limited. T-mobile just started offering service out here a few months ago so I’m making that switch. Only after filing a complaint with the BBB did I actually get a call back from a local service manager. Again, just more lame excuses. It’s a day shy of September and my internet still goes out every day several times a day. I work from home which is almost impossible to do given the horrid service Spectrum provides. Seriously, learn from me (and others listed) and RUN!

    I never granted automatic withdrawal but they applied it anyway. When I called them that I never authorized it they said they would take it off and charged me insufficient funds multiple times, told me that they would fix to just pay it. I'd see a credit, my service being repaired for the last 2 months no change in bill. They say it's outage last two weeks around 3am but I'm supposed to have unlimited. It false advertising. They should tell you they know because every night at 3 am they say their work on a problem with no credit on my bill.

Today, Trent, was able to help me get the channels I need and lower my bill big time. He took the time to listen and give me my wants. His customer service is out of this world. He went beyond. He has a positive attitude and just sounded so happy in what his doing. That is what everyone should be spreading. Trent, I like to express this again and want everyone to know.

Hopefully, the powers that be at Spectrum or actually look into why you can’t rely on their services, but I am not sure that they will pay much attention since their paychecks don’t depend on customer satisfaction.

    I would not even give one star if that was an option, It all started when I received promotional information in my mailbox Informing me that Spectrum now services my area and and although I already had internet service through another company, I was not happy with my current Wi-Fi service. I called the number on the Flyer to get more information. When I spoke to the salesperson, I was assured that my area was able to be serviced and I Agreed to the package that the salesperson talked me into which included a cellphone along with WiFi. Although I already Had a cellphone and was not looking to change my service I was talked into it and Assured that there would be no issues with installation by the person on the phone.

    A couple of days later, the installation tech showed up to install my internet access and I was advised that service wasn't available for installation in my area....regardless of the promotional mailing I received as well as confirmation by the salesperson on the phone. I received the new cellphone from spectrum immediately, that now was useless to me. I was not looking to change my cellphone service. I was wanting wifi and and the phone was somewhat pushed on me in a package deal that now was void. I called customer service to find out what I needed to do to return the phone. That's when they acted like I did not know what I was talking about. And I had to explain myself over and over again, of how it all came about being signed up for service when it's not even available In my area, And after confirming multiple times that they did before I signed up for the service.

    After convincing the person....Or actually, people that I spoke to on what to do with the phone, I was told that They would call me back with a resolution... I did not receive a call. So I returned a call AGAIN to THEM!!!! I would think you would understand my frustration, because now I had to explain the same thing AGAIN only to be told that I would have to go through all these steps with another department to return the phone BUT also until it was returned and received, I couldn't even be refunded the amount I paid the night I spoke to the salesperson guy on the phone... The very first call I made inquiring about the mailing that I received, that literally said "NOW AVAILABLE"... That guy, he he lied to me not once but TWICE.... Putting me on hold "CONFIRMING" that service was definitely accessible at my address... Well, IT ISN'T!!!! And then to be told that they would refund me AFTER.... What????

    I informed the people I spoke to that I do not generally use my email regularly that another method of communication would be better but was told that's just the way they do it!!!. So, surprise surprise, after missing an email and poor communication with/by the company, I initiated correspondence once again with that department of the company and that's when I was told that I missed the window of time to return the phone and now I would be responsible for the cost of the phone!!!! So now I'm on the line for a phone I didn't even want. Still brand new untouched in the box,,, that was basically pushed on me by spectrum. A salesperson selling me a service that isn't even available to my address. And now I'm in collections for this phone!!! And I don't need to explain any further how ridiculous that is.

    I'm a single mom of 3, I don't have the time to jump through hoops for a company that has inconvenienced me tremendously. And it's sickening that they would think I owe them anything other than their phone back. I'm livid at the complete unprofessional behaviors of this company and I will never give them a dime of my money. BUT what I will do.... I will make sure everyone I know and everyone I don't know knows what they've put me through and still going through and NOT to do business with this company.... And why!!!! Do better....

After talking to two people, including a manager, Spectrum said that the new mobile number was requested from a Spectrum store and I approved it.

    I found out that the mobile number added by a towing company that does NOT belong to me or to anyone that I know.

    This store has the worst, most arrogant and ignorant customer service I've ever encountered in Los Angeles area. I was forced to join Spectrum internet and mobile as the only provider in my area. A technician installed the modem and router in my house, and within 24 hours I had a service disruption with no explanation, and my phone line got somehow deactivated. I use my phone number for my business and for 3 days in a now I couldn't make or receive any calls.

    The phone customer service had an hour wait, so I decided to visit the Marina del Rey store after the first 24 hours of this nightmare. Only to experience the worst service by some of the rudest people anyone could hire. As I walked in and signed up to receive assistance, I was welcomed by a rude young person who dismissed me by informing me that all I could do is calling the customer service.

    Instead, I walked across the street, where I saw a TMobile store. I had Tmobile as my carrier before moving to LA and I remember what an excellent service I had with them. And as I expected, the treatment I received from Tmobile was AMAZING. The associate I talked to at the store not only helped me contacting Spectrum so I could get my phone up and running (he patiently called on my behalf waiting on the phone for 45 minutes) - but he also was able to switch my phone line to Tmobile and released me from this nightmare called Spectrum internet and mobile.

    BUYER BEWARE. Spectrum will make it nearly impossible for you to terminate your contract. Even if you follow the exact process they demand, it won’t be done correctly—and they will deny all accountability. After being a Spectrum customer for years, I decided to switch providers. I spent over an hour on the phone specifically requesting to disconnect all my services (mobile and internet). My mobile was canceled, but the internet was never shut off. I was told one final payment would end everything. At no point was I told equipment needed to be returned.

    Months later, I kept receiving “upcoming payment” notifications. Assuming they were scams (since my cancellation was handled on a recorded call), I ignored them. In reality, Spectrum had been auto-charging me $140 a month for nine months straight—without notice of the price hike from the $99 I started at. When I discovered this, I called immediately and spent 82 minutes on the phone. After waiting over an hour, I was finally transferred to a manager. She claimed there were “no notes” about my cancellation and said the termination never happened because I hadn’t returned equipment—equipment I was never told about. When I asked for the recording of my original cancellation call (to prove both that I called and that I was never told to return equipment), she admitted she didn’t have access to it and would have to escalate.

    Two days later, she called back and immediately led with: “Since we have a 60-day window for disputing charges, all we can offer is the last two months.” Not once during my 82-minute call was this 60-day window mentioned. Then she claimed they didn’t have the recorded call anymore because it was “over a year old” (it wasn’t). When I reminded her of that fact, she shifted again, saying, “Well, it’s just an old account.” In the end, Spectrum refused to acknowledge my cancellation, refused to provide proof of the call, hid behind fine print I was never informed of, and ultimately offered just two months of refunds out of nine. If you’re considering Spectrum, beware—this is how they treat their customers.

    Spectrum itself is a reliable internet provider. Be careful when transferring services. I called on July 16th 2025 to move service for July 19th. They added Spectrum TV for what was a free trial. I started at my new address on July 19th. ON July 31st I cancelled the free trial. (They even show I did it, in my records.) They still billed me for it on August 20th because, I cancelled it at my new address but they still wanted $69.99 for my disconnected service from July 16th. (Said that upgrade wasn't cancelled). Seems like $69.99 will break the company. DO NOT TRUST.

    I am getting completely fed up with Spectrum Business. Another contractor, laying fiber optic for Windstream, cut my fiber optic cable. He said they asked Spectrum to mark their lines, but they never did. I depend on my business fiber optic. I called Spectrum, explained what occurred and they send out a service tech. Originally scheduled the tech for the next day, but I called again, and they sent someone out that afternoon. He finds the line is cut and says someone will be out the next day in the afternoon. Next afternoon, no one ever shows. I call again and they tell me someone will be out in 2 more days. It's unacceptable.

    What's the point of having a business account, which I need for my BUSINESS to make money and pay Spectrum for service. This could have all been avoided if Spectrum would have marked my fiber optic line initially. Regardless, this is not the first issue with them. Really starting to rethink giving Spectrum any more money as they are not living up to their terms of service in my opinion. What is the purpose of paying for business service and expedited support if nothing is ever expedited?
