    Severely understaffed! Long wait with only 2 employees dealing with customers
    Richard L.

    It's the holidays , one week before Christmas and the place is severely under understand. I've been waiting here for over 20 minutes just to drop off a piece of equipment. I have no idea how a corporate office has no clue about how to staff a place at this time of year. I hope I never have to come back here. It has nothing to do with the employees or their attitude it has to do with the fact that you're just not enough of them for the amount of customers.

    Great customer service no hesitation was very friendly great attitude and left with a smile.

    Excellent customer service! The staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I felt valued as a customer and would definitely recommend them."

    I wish I could give less than one star. Our internet went down last week. It turned out that a Spectrum wire had been chewed by a squirrel and they needed to run new wire from our house to the pole. But after replacing their wire, our internet was still down. Over 2 days, they sent out 3 different teams as each team claimed what was needed took a different department. In the process of trying to find the problem, they CUT the low voltage wire that we had installed that brought our internet service to our detached office. They refused to replace the wire as it is not part of their equipment. Now we have had to pay independent contractors to discover what they had done and to run a new wire. We lost 3 days of work without internet access and while waiting to get the wiring done are working with a a temporary work around. If you have them out, I strongly suggest you watch what they are doing every minute!

    Ridiculous wait list stacked up with two employees leaving - presumably after their shift.

    More staff. Wait times are excruciating. Staff is friendly at least! Spectrum needs to stop being so cheap and hire more employees.

    We got Frontier fiber installed back in December 2025. But since the line is across the street they…read morehad to run it through the air across the street, tie it to one of my trees and then drape it diagonally across my front lawn about 250 ft to my house. It was fine when the snow was on the ground but I've been having to move it around each time I mow my lawn now. I've called them repeatedly to have them bury the line and they've given me three dates now that came and went, and aside from the initial visit, where they texted me saying they couldn't bury the line because of snow, the other two dates came and went without giving me a reason. I've been calling them every month now having them give me full credit for each month the job remains unfinished.

    Anyone thinking about switching to Frontier (by Verizon)? Do yourself a favor and don't…read more We switched to Frontier (by Verizon). What's mess. Worked for several months. Then out of the blue, zero services - no Internet (we have jobs and kids who need access for school) and since TV came over the line, none of that either. Every morning, noon and evening I'd get a text saying restoration of service by X (i.e. 4pm the same day). After a day or two that showed itself to be a straight lie. No human to talk to on the phone, either. This baiting fraud went on for two weeks until we switched back to Spectrum. They owed me $7.01 per their recurring bill and kept it for months and months instead of just sending me a check. Eventually they sent a prepaid MasterCard I never requested containing my $7.01 which, if I activated, screwed me over with annual fees, etc. I finally got in touch with someone in the Philippines who said they'd send me a check; haven't gotten it yet - been about a week. Frontier is about the worst company with which i've had the displeasure of doing business. Shady and unfair business practices at every turn, in my view. Stay always unless you're a masochistic glutton for punishment. Consider yourself warned.

The sales person I talked to offered an amazing deal, brought over my phones from T-mobil and promised to call me back to close the deal. He never called me back. I hate Spectrum.

    AbWe chose Spectrum over three years ago because it was the only affordable internet option…read moreavailable in our area. For the first couple of years, things were mostly fine. Unfortunately, the last three experiences completely changed my opinion of this company. The first issue started when we had streaming problems. I upgraded our internet plan online to see if it would help. While upgrading was incredibly easy (one click), downgrading was not possible through the app. You are required to call in, which already feels like a deliberately one sided and scammy practice. When I called to downgrade, I was on the phone for over an hour. The agent repeatedly refused to process the downgrade, aggressively pushed me to keep the higher plan, and then began upselling a "free" cell phone. I clearly stated multiple times that I did not want a phone. The agent framed it as "free" for an extra $10 a month, implying it would essentially replace the cost of my previous internet plan. At one point, the agent literally told me I would be stupid not to take the deal. I acknowledge that I should have done more due diligence, but the language and pressure tactics used were completely unprofessional. I eventually agreed just to get off the phone so I wouldn't be late to work. Months later, I discovered I owed over $250 to pay off the phone after the promotional period ended. The agent would not take no for an answer and used manipulation and intimidation to close the sale. The second major issue occurred when I needed to cancel service due to moving out of the area. The agent, named "Angel" (ironically), was clearly trained to resist cancellation at all costs. He repeatedly asked me to find friends or family to take over my service, then suggested I ask my landlord to transfer it to the next tenant. I said no multiple times and explained I was uncomfortable and did not have time for that. No one should be pressured into recruiting others just to cancel a utility service. The agent then told me cancellation would take 35 minutes and that I had to stay on the line the entire time, not on hold. This made no sense, especially compared to every other utility I canceled quickly and easily due to a move. Once I firmly stated I would no longer engage in conversation, the service was suddenly canceled within 15 minutes. My final issue is that since scheduling our cancellation (and paying for an additional billing period), our internet quality has noticeably declined. Streaming issues and speed problems began immediately. We've had to continuously restart the router, even though both the app and router report no issues. I strongly suspect intentional throttling now that service is ending. If any attorneys happen to read this and are interested in speaking with me, I would be more than willing to share my experiences. I highly doubt I am alone in these circumstances. When I previously attempted to file a complaint about my first encounter, the Spectrum agent told me it was "my problem," which speaks volumes about the company's culture. I'm aware that by writing this review Spectrum likely won't care or respond meaningfully, but potential customers should know this is a company driven by corporate greed and sales metrics, not customer service or ethical treatment. Overall, Spectrum trains their agents to be manipulative, controlling, and aggressive. Canceling service should not require standing your ground repeatedly or enduring intimidation. If I had another option, I would never choose Spectrum again.
