The highlights: Andre did the install and I've not met many ISP techs in my life but we could tell right away he knows his craft inside out and enjoys it. We spoke to Rachel later to iron our some contract/money issues and that went very smoothly as well. It also helps that when you dial the number, you don't get that [expletive] "Hi! Thank you for calling [name of (expletive) company here]. Please listen carefully as our menu options have recently changed (no they have not). Also we are experiencing higher than average call volume, which is our way of saying that we don't know the concept of "average." You get a ACTUAL PERSON (or at least a very convincing artificial intelligence), thank heck. Lastly: the night of 1/6, our speed tanked. I texted the customer support # and within minutes got an answer, and shortly thereafter our down/up speeds were back to normal. All in all, so far so good.... my Cherophobia keeps insisting that /something/ will go tits up but so far it's been solid!

I understand that they are less expensive than others, but I can't really deal with outages like this. If it happens one more time, I'll move on to a more reliable provider

As has been said before by many others, this company has bad customer service. Far worse than the…read moreservice is their dishonesty. Astound is a good name for these people. The low level customer service and the way the company bilks customers is astounding. They claim to be giving you a five (5) year price lock. In my case, two months later they change the name of your promotion to Promotion for Life. They say that this means that only the taxes can go up if they do, but not the price for the service in my case, $40.00 with $5.66 in taxes for a total of $45.66. Do not be fooled. All their promotions, regardless of names, can be renamed and repriced at any time. They actively promote Autobilling, which means they take the money directly out of your bank account each month. It is not worth getting a $5 reduction to have these crooks get access to your bank account. Once you provide them with your bank account number, they can help themselves to any amount. Prices with Astound change at the drop of a hat. They do this by claiming that your plan's name was changed. What this means is that they hiked the price. Am actively going to see if I can find a better deal elsewhere. These people are nasty and only interested in bilking customers. These are seasoned scam artists.

Was considering signing up with them but....I'm not so sure they are truly a 'local' NYC-based…read morecompany. When I called to sign up (THREE times now, but still no call back) it was as if I was connected to some 'answering' service in a backroom in the Midwest somewhere. (I don't know many local companies with answering services besides doctor's offices or plumbers or something.) Also, the woman seemed to have an accent (NOT New York). She also seemed to not know NYC neighborhoods...when I gave her my Astoria address she was like 'ok, so that's in Astoria, New York, 11105'? The way she said it, it was as if she'd never heard of Astoria. I then said to her 'is this an NYC-based company?' She seemed to hesitate. I told her I was under the impression it was. She then said 'oh yes'. I said 'and where are you located?' She said 'I'm at the head office....Broad Street...I mean...Broadway'. Hmmm.... Another time I called and was told that 'Josh' (apparently the only person at this 'office' who can set up a new account)...that Josh was 'on vacation' apparently abroad...that he was 'asleep right now'...but that they'd send him another message to call me. Also interesting is that of the FEW reviews they have on Yelp, one reviewer has only written ONE (stellar) review ...naturally for Bway.net....and the other reviewer has only written TWO reviews.

For starters, my bill began at around $60 per month, and over time it increased to about $130. Throughout that time, there was very little communication about available upgrades or options that could have benefited me. Instead, it felt like the priority was simply collecting more money rather than making sure customers understood what they were paying for. I spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone with a representative in Texas trying to discontinue my service. What should have been a straightforward request turned into an unnecessary back-and-forth. I explained that my decision wasn't based on one issue alone. It was the combination of poor customer service, unreliable internet, and outdated equipment that requires cords running throughout the house. I also explained that no one had informed me about newer equipment or upgrade options. I genuinely tried to provide constructive feedback that the company could use to improve the customer experience. Instead of listening, the representative continued arguing with me about my decision to cancel. It felt as though the goal wasn't to understand my concerns but to convince me to stay, regardless of what I was saying. That experience alone reinforced my decision to leave. What stood out most was that after nearly 20 minutes of arguing, the representative finally told me my service had already been discontinued. That should have been communicated immediately, not at the end of a prolonged conversation. It only reinforced the point I had been making throughout the call: there was a lack of transparency. Transparency matters. Clear communication matters. Respecting your customers' time and money matters. Another thing I found disappointing was hearing negative comments about a competitor during the conversation. I don't believe criticizing another company is a reflection of integrity or strong business values. I would much rather see a company focus on improving its own service than trying to discredit someone else's. Instead of being proactive and addressing issues before they became problems, Spectrum waited until I was ready to leave before offering solutions. By then, it was too late. Integrity, transparency, and genuine customer service are far more valuable to me than last-minute retention efforts. For those reasons, I will no longer be using Spectrum. I don't believe the company has been transparent with me, and I left the interaction feeling that protecting the company was a higher priority than serving the customer.
