I try to not give many 1-star reviews, since they often come off as overly emotional, but I've really only had bad experiences dealing with Spectrum.
We've had their service for about a year, and while the internet speed has been moderately better than CenturyLink, it still leaves MUCH to be desired. As soon as you sign up, be prepared to be ABSOLUTELY inundated with spam letters, email, and calls.
You will be CONSTANTLY sold to. Even when I've asked over the phone to stop getting promotional offers, it continues. I've opted out online as well, and they keep rolling in.
If you change your address, it's a $50 transfer fee (which no employee mentioned to me). They sent a new modem, that I didn't ask for and didn't need. Nobody told me they were sending it, and I had to drop it off at UPS.
If they spent half as much effort on customer service as they did on promotional offers and talking your ear off over the phone about why you need their TV service, I wouldn't have any issue with them. I would honestly have been a pretty satisfied customer had they just left me alone.
I've attached a letter I received, which caused a small panic due to the appearance (yellow paper and the phrase "IMPORTANT NOTICE Open Immediately"), but was just about *surprise surprise* how my home is eligible for an exclusive price on TV. It should be illegal to send a letter that purposefully looks like some sort of final notice.
All that to say, as soon as the Gorge gets with the program and offers a better option for high speed internet, I'm sure 99% of Spectrum's customers will jump ship... unless Spectrum starts paying an iota of attention to their customer experience. It's very expensive for less than mediocre internet.
Definitely missing Stephouse in Portland; those guys were incredible. read more
