I've been meaning to write this review for some time now, and the fact that I am writing it almost…read moreone month after my experience speaks volumes in terms of the positive effect of my 50-minute, in-store visit, to Spectrum Maui's new store at the Pu'unene Shopping Center. And without question, the primary reason I experienced overwhelming positivity on Thursday, Feb. 4, was Customer Service Representative Melissa, who went above and beyond in taking care of my many issues. She assured this 59-year-old male who had been stuck with Verizon for nearly 25 years. It was another Spectrum agent, back in September of 2020, who convinced me over the phone to switch from Verizon to Spectrum. I bought two sim cards at the time, and they arrived in less than a week. I was unable to make the switch official, despite making as many as five different scenarios. So when I finally pulled the trigger to make the transition from Verizon mobile to Spectrum mobile I had Melissa coaching me through every situation with kit gloves. She activated my iPhone XR to my new Spectrum mobile sim card. Connected my iPhone and my iPad Mini to all of Spectrum's available cell towers. I choose not to install the other sim card into the iPad Mini since I use it at home 95 percent of the time. Meanwhile, Verizon had me paying for that second card for more than two years. Melissa later contacted a colleague, who handles the sim cards and explained my situation: "About a guy who had been paying for two sim cards since last September and only decided to activate one card six months later. The colleague could tell that I only activated one of two cards and, although I bought them in September I was only activating it now." Because of Melissa's actions, and her colleague's passion to do what is Pono, he reimbursed my credit card for the months I paid holding the inactive sim cards. Also, I brought in my DVR and its remote control and canceled my TV subscription. My Verizon monthly cell phone bill was $155. Now I pay $15 per month on Spectrum. Moreover, my Spectrum TV service went from $175 a month to $75. In these difficult times, and with so much uncertainty in place, I managed to save more than $240 a month. Thank you, Melissa, you're the bomb, and Spectrum thanks for putting customer's core values first, not just the company's bottom line $$$!

Do not trust what the reps tell you over the phone. I was with Spectrum for over 10 years. The…read moremoment I decided to leave them all of a sudden amazing pricing was available...that is the general practice of big businesses these days. My gripe is the rep I spoke to assured me they would cancel my service before the next billing cycle, well they didn't by 2 days. After speaking with someone on their "leadership" team about not billing me in full $75 for 2 days (when I had already stopped using 4 days prior), it was clear this person had no interest in keeping a positive view of the company and was just waiting for the phone call to end. Spectrum is does not reward loyalty. You guys will get your $75 and I will never get another service from you and will warn as many people as I can to stay away from you guys. But hey, you got paid so its all good.

Shout out to Greg at the Hookele Verizon store…read more I've been putting off getting a new phone for a long time. I had an iPhone 8. Its 2025. My camera was just about dust, the volume only worked on speaker phone, I could no longer update apps. It was time. It should be noted that I have actually gone in to get a new phone at different locations and walked out due to aggressive sales tactics and just not feeling heard. Maybe I'm stubborn, or old school but when it comes to phones, I just need it to work and take decent photos. Greg was calm, professional and understood what I wanted. He still went over all of my options and upgrade deals but did not push back when I didn't show interest in certain packages. I gave him my game plan and let him know I'm not interested in all the bells and whistles. He was very accommodating. I was in and out in less than an hour and got a much needed upgrade without any stress. I will only go to this location moving forward! Thank you!

I visited this location today excited to purchase a new phone, but the experience was incredibly…read moredisappointing. From the moment we walked in, the employee who assisted us was rude and dismissive. It felt as though she was having a bad day and taking it out on her customers. Whenever we asked for clarification on things we didn't understand, her answers were vague and unhelpful. The interaction made the entire room feel tense. To top it off, she was extremely impatient; while I was trying to read the documents I was required to sign, she actually clicked away before I could finish. To make matters worse, we still haven't even received a receipt for the purchase. Buying a new phone is a big commitment, and I expected much more professional and transparent service.

Internet never worked more than 2 hours at a time, then was down for days and weeks. Paid $100 for installation, that never worked. Had the modum replaced one time.

Returned the modum two weeks ago and I'm still waiting for a refund. DO NOT USE HAWAIIAN TELCOM FOR RESIDENTIAL INTERNET.

They say it'll still be between 3-5GB during peak hours, but I've done a ton of speed tests and I'm lucky if I get 0.25mbps. It's literally unusable between 6-10:30pm every single day, and barely usable the rest of the day. I want to literally rip this satellite off my roof ever single day and throw it in the garbage. If I had any other option, literally anything, I'd take it. Hoping Starlink gets here ASAP!!!!!!

Its costs over $100 a month for this garbage. They make you get on your roof to disassemble the dish to cancel your contract or charge an additional $100 to have a technician remove it. They have a minimum 2 year contract and charge 15 dollars per month not fulfilled to break it. Do not use this service. Seriously, save yourself a large amount of money and time. 10,000 thumbs down.

They also have no idea what they're doing, so expect long calls, repeating yourself many times, and perhaps a couple additional callbacks to ensure your issue has actually been dealt with. I was also charged an extra month at a RAISED PRICE on the way out after being told as long as I cancelled by X date I would be fine. They also took months to process my ACP benefits application whereas Spectrum (my only alternative here) had this ready to go in maybe a day. Anyone wanting to cash in on this benefit beware.
