    Network reliability is poor. If you have trouble with Xumo and/or streaming TV apps, the issue is…read moreusually related to their internet. You will never get a live body, just STUPID bots. It says (hilariously I might add) "Let me take a look at your equipment!" (Beg pardon!?) It then pings a signal to said equipment and tells you to give it 5 minutes. It often takes several tries. Not to mention the irritating nuisance of certain apps, like Disney/Hulu never connecting until they've verified who you are. They ask your user name, email addy, phone number, it asks you to verify the name of the subscriber, and enter your password. It always says your password is incorrect. Disney is policing that app to make sure no one is beating them out of a nickel, but we can't question why a trip to their parks costs $10K per family for 4 days. But that's a topic for another day. Spectrum's Xumo streaming device is C H E A P. Drop the remote on a hardwood floor and you'll be picking-up 100 cheap pieces of plastic to reassemble it. It can be done, I've done it. But I've reinforced mine with tape. Spectrum needs to Improve on every level. I hate to have to ditch them and go to another provider (or non provider and just join the apps on my own...via Roku or ? It's such an ordeal, it's exhausting. Tonight we watched 3/4's of a movie and it just FROZE. Never to resume. This service costs too much not to work. BTW, I sadly have them my internet and mobile business, along with a cable box for my 88 year old mother in law (who can't comprehend apps). I have a high tier internet set/up. So what gives?

I am livid they charged me for services I did not receive.

    I'm LONG overdue for a review on Clear, since I've been using this service since about April. Bad…read moreStephanie! Anyway, when I moved recently, I decided that I was going to downgrade from my current plan with U-verse (internet and cable w/DVR) to internet only. This was huge, friends. HUGE. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm a sucker for reality TV. Every trashy reality TV show on Bravo you can think of? I was a fan, and it was all on my DVR, along with countless other shows I'm too embarrassed to mention in this review. So for me to go from 300+ channels and DVR to absolutely NO TV (not even basic cable, folks -- I was quitting this sucker cold turkey!) was a huge feat for me. And apparently, it was also a huge feat for U-verse, who wasn't making this transition pleasant for me. So I cut the cord on U-verse as well. And I went with Clear instead. After a simple phone call, I had a SUPER reasonably priced internet-only plan set up. Instead of waiting for days for a cable company to come over and hook up my internet, I received a cable modem in the mail the VERY NEXT DAY. It was super easy to hook up, and BAM! I had internet. Like I said, I've been with Clear since April, and have had their service in both Brentwood and Maplewood. In both areas, I've had no problems with connectivity, internet speed, or anything else. My internet is just as fast as it was with U-verse (and before that, Charter), and it's reasonably priced. The one downside to Clear is that I am locked into a 2 year contract, but since it's not tied to one particular address (like I said, I had this service in Brentwood, and now in Maplewood), I didn't see an issue with that. I will be using the internet for the next two years (and beyond!) after all. One big plus: unlike Charter and U-verse, Clear has NO data cap on streaming. That means I can Netflix away without worrying about exceeding my data limit (and paying a hefty fee) every month. And I'll be honest: I do occasionally stream my trashy reality TV as well. It's like a drug, I swear. Do they have rehab for reality TV show addicts?

    For a few weeks, our telephone land line did not work. Spectrum resolved the issues. However, my…read morewife and I decided to cancel the line. On contracting the company, the agent offered a special: transfer the land line and phone number to a cell phone and reduce monthly costs about $60. I accepted the offer. The new phone came promptly. I received several messages to activate the phone. When we tried to activate, the agent could not find the account number, and referred us back to the land line department. The land line folks told us that we have to restore the land line to be able to transfer to the mobile department. And, of course, we are told the phone would be added to the current bill. It appears that the 'left hand' does not know what the 'right hand' is doing. And now all we have is a non-working cell phone and phone number! The company needs to figure out how to resolve this issue and let us know. Even worse, employees have no interest in learning basic information about "other" services. This is a very poor way to run a business. In attempting to resolve this issue, it took multiple phone calls to both mobile and landline areas. I also received email messages saying "Action Required: Contact Us to Complete Your Number Transfer" However, the message does not say which office is experiencing the "issue." Nor does the message say what the issue is. It is very uninformative. This message appears to be sent even when no action is required by the customer. Again, this is a very poor way to run the business. My wife and I discussed transferring our mobile numbers from another provider to Spectrum. With all the challenges just transferring a land line number to mobile, I guess it would be even worse transferring from one company to Spectrum. One company would blame the other for any issues. Note: Generally, Charter Spectrum does a good job. My rating is only for the recent interactions noted above.

    I give it one star because the 1st person I talked to was good. She then transferred me to a…read moreperson she said would take care of my problem. I was on the phone for 30 minutes just trying to cancel my land line, which I have pa[d for for unwittingly for 7 years. She told me if I canceled it they would have to upgrade my internet and they would send me new equipment. Since the service was at my cottage and it was closed for the winter, I explained that no one was there to except it. We went round and round and I finally asked her to cancel my service. She said I'd have to drop off the equipment. I explained that there was nobody there to drop it off. I ended up paying the whole amount and will never use the again. I I could have given them 0 stars I would have.

    If you go to this location............... ask for Justin or Rayshawn. If neither is working that…read moreday, LEAVE. If either is with a customer WAIT. My family mainly, ONLY works with Justin. Justin is absolutely AMAZING!!! We have been giving him a hard time since we first met him in April I believe. We came in for a plan change. We be hitting him with rapid fire questions in succession and he fields them all without breaking a sweat. He always guides us in the direction we need. He is extremely patient and polite, respectful and incredibly knowledgeable. He's just all around fantastic!!! He is extremely helpful and goes above and beyond. He understands our needs and works diligently to address them. My mother and I recently upgraded our phones. She needed a tutorial and I needed to complete my upgrade. Originally she was scheduled to work with Justin but when it came time for her appointment. He was out sick. He attempted to contact her to reschedule the appointment. She was impatient and opted not to wait. The rep she worked with didn't give her the assistance she needed. She left the store with a new device without knowing how to use it. So when I went in for my forced upgrade because the speaker went out on my phone, she was with me. Justin assisted me for over an hour with my upgrade and he gladly turned around and worked with my mom. He showed her how to use her new device. I still had questions once I left the store, I was able to reach out to Justin and he walked me through precisely how to resolve my issue. One time Justin was unavailable and Rayshawn stepped up to assist. I see he has a loyal customer base as well. He is FUNNY as hell, really needs to be a comedian. He is knowledgeable and patient. His first goal is to get to know you and determine what are your needs and wants. He then deciphers how that equates into choosing a new device that will work best for you and not put a choke hold on your budget. He is very respectful and takes his time. Let me tell you, when my family steps in the door, we're coming in four deep, sometimes it'll be less but we roll deep. We're expecting the customer service to be above and beyond and I promise you, if you work with either Justin or Rayshawn your Verizon experience will exceed your expectations.
