Paul P | 01-27-2023

I had a bundled service - internet, landline (never used but it was required for the bundle), and mobile. I was told on multiple occasions that voice messaging was not accepting messages or that messages left had not gotten to me (not recorded). Also, the internet had gotten spotty and an upgrade did not help. This was unacceptable so I canceled and got better pricing. But, I was caught 6 days into their "non pro-rata" policy ostensibly created to make billing easier. I had no choice, and they would not relent.

By far the best quality and service of any telecommunications company I have dealt with. They deliver what they say they offer, they installed on time, and it just. Always. Works. Plus, there are no hidden fees: when the ad copy says $70/month, the bill is exactly that - $70 a month.

Spectrum has to be the most inadequately managed company I have encountered. Months ago they were supposed to switch my account from TWC to Spectrum. This was ‘required’. I needed to pick up equipment and my bill would remain very close to the same. Imagine my surprise when my bill jumped almost $40, the channels I had added did not work, and now the explanation is that I didn’t call them back to say I had my equipment. You gave me the equipment and never said I had to call! Not only do they not want to credit me back the overage I have paid, but they were extremely rude, refused to listen, and kept me on the phone for an hour and a half! Terrible company, terrible service!

Time warner cable is a bit overpriced. The customer service is lacking and if AT&T was available in my area i would have changed providers a long time ago.
