Living in a rural area where cable is not an option is frustrating, but Mike has helped us with internet service that has exceeded every other company we tried over our 25+ years in this location.

I want to recognize Miriam for her outstanding level of service…read more I came in super nervous because I didn't return my old equipment when I upgraded my 12+ year old modem to the latest model that supports higher speeds. I fully expected to pay some kind of a penalty fee and I led with honesty about it. Miriam immediately reassured me that there would be no fees collected since I was upgrading. While we were handling the equipment return, we discussed my internet plan. I wanted to see if 2-gigabit speeds were available in my area. They weren't, go figure. But Miriam offered me something completely unexpected. She found a promotional deal that upgraded me from my $90, 500 mbps plan to 1-gigabit service that normally costs $115 a month and reduced it to just $70 a month for a full year! She also let me know that I can stop by the store anytime to ask about current promotions and see if I can get even this one extended. I had no idea I could do this. I've already told my local friends. Needless to say, I was taken aback, in a good way, knowing I get double the speed at $20 less than I was paying for a year. Amazing! It's also worth noting that the Spectrum location is easy to find and there's plenty of parking. The location is also super clean. It was hot outside and with the AC on, it made for a more comfortable experience.

By far some of the worst and laziest customer service I've ever met. Their management and staff are…read morelaughable on how low their efforts are for "their" customers. You ask them questions about timelines and their answers are "I don't know" and "we get them when we get them" There's zero initiative, and it's not as if they're filled packed and helping customers and flustered. This was during a point where they had 4 employees on the floor and 1 other customer besides myself. The worst part is, management has seen the reviews on this store for months based off of other reviews and still haven't changed a thing.

They wanted to send a service tech the next day as a courtesy, never happened. They kept trying to ask about the service ticket,,,when all of that junk was returned. When you're calling make sure to ask for billing or correct department instead of internet or TV because the phone system is the worst and time consuming.

I am staying long-term at the Best Western San Benito Inn located in Hollister. The facility has…read more30-MB cable Wi-Fi provided by Charter Communications. However, because there are several large hotel/motel facilities on the same node which include many private residences and numerous businesses, the download/upload speeds are worse than the old v90 dial-up speeds used to be. I just checked the internet speeds here on toast.net, speedtest.net, dslreports.com, and charter's own speed test. All of the results were virtually identical with download speeds of 212 kb (!!!) and upload speeds of 975 kb. This is a far, far cry from the contracted-for 30 MB speeds that Charter advertises and charges for. In the past 10-days, Charter techs have been to this facility AT LEAST 3 different times. They have verified that all of the equipment here at the hotel is more than adequate and working properly and claim that their speeds are fine (as they said with a smirk). One of the technicians admitted to me that there were too many people on the same node using up all of the bandwidth and described the problem as having 50 people on the same street all trying to use the same garden hose at the same time so that each house only gets dribbles of water instead of a full stream of water. Charter's internet service is so bad that I have been unable to send out even basic emails for work so I have recommended that the Best Western management file suit against Charter Communications and I have contacted my lawyer to proceed with "restraint of trade" litigation against Charter since their contracted service is preventing me from performing my employment and depriving me of income while at the same time forcing me to use Office Max and Staples in Gilroy (15-miles away) to send emails, faxes, and download construction designs. I would strongly recommend that everyone use another internet provider other than Charter Communication!

We found George and Central Coast Internet after suffering a few years going through every…read moresatellite and wireless provider known to the area. George really owns and represents his services and product. Very reliable service for the rural parts of Hollister. He makes an effort to resolve any problem within a few hours by heading to your property to diagnose ans resolve whatever issue could exist. The only downside, which I'd say is unavoidable, is lack of higher speeds. But this is due to supply and demand, which means the more customers he gets, the more supply he'll be able to provide overall improving the bandwidth his customers use together, creating a more constant speed for any time of day. Don't settle for data caps, never go with Razzolink. Local businesses always dominate. Thanks George!

They charged me for two months of service even after the equipment was returned. They fought tooth and nail for that money and got it. Now they raised the prices on the sketchy wifi to be just as much as when I had cable and wifi. I would never be a customer if I had a choice. The wifi goes out regularly and you do not get credit unless you call and demand it. They will take every penny they can get.
