We are finishing up week #1 of the one-month trial and so far the speed tests have been good (i.e…read more around 800 megabytes per second for download). Our time with Honest has been good so far. The highlights: Andre did the install and I've not met many ISP techs in my life but we could tell right away he knows his craft inside out and enjoys it. We spoke to Rachel later to iron our some contract/money issues and that went very smoothly as well. It also helps that when you dial the number, you don't get that [expletive] "Hi! Thank you for calling [name of (expletive) company here]. Please listen carefully as our menu options have recently changed (no they have not). Also we are experiencing higher than average call volume, which is our way of saying that we don't know the concept of "average." You get a ACTUAL PERSON (or at least a very convincing artificial intelligence), thank heck. Lastly: the night of 1/6, our speed tanked. I texted the customer support # and within minutes got an answer, and shortly thereafter our down/up speeds were back to normal. All in all, so far so good.... my Cherophobia keeps insisting that /something/ will go tits up but so far it's been solid!

I just got service in Dec from Honest. I came back from a five week trip and had no internet upon my return. They diagnosed it as a problem in the lines coming to my unit (so not my issue) but it will still take them 3 days to come out and restore service. I understand that they are less expensive than others, but I can't really deal with outages like this. If it happens one more time, I'll move on to a more reliable provider

This is probably the worst internet service company I've had to deal with. I live in New York City…read morefyi. For starters, my bill began at around $60 per month, and over time it increased to about $130. Throughout that time, there was very little communication about available upgrades or options that could have benefited me. Instead, it felt like the priority was simply collecting more money rather than making sure customers understood what they were paying for. I spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone with a representative in Texas trying to discontinue my service. What should have been a straightforward request turned into an unnecessary back-and-forth. I explained that my decision wasn't based on one issue alone. It was the combination of poor customer service, unreliable internet, and outdated equipment that requires cords running throughout the house. I also explained that no one had informed me about newer equipment or upgrade options. I genuinely tried to provide constructive feedback that the company could use to improve the customer experience. Instead of listening, the representative continued arguing with me about my decision to cancel. It felt as though the goal wasn't to understand my concerns but to convince me to stay, regardless of what I was saying. That experience alone reinforced my decision to leave. What stood out most was that after nearly 20 minutes of arguing, the representative finally told me my service had already been discontinued. That should have been communicated immediately, not at the end of a prolonged conversation. It only reinforced the point I had been making throughout the call: there was a lack of transparency. Transparency matters. Clear communication matters. Respecting your customers' time and money matters. Another thing I found disappointing was hearing negative comments about a competitor during the conversation. I don't believe criticizing another company is a reflection of integrity or strong business values. I would much rather see a company focus on improving its own service than trying to discredit someone else's. Instead of being proactive and addressing issues before they became problems, Spectrum waited until I was ready to leave before offering solutions. By then, it was too late. Integrity, transparency, and genuine customer service are far more valuable to me than last-minute retention efforts. For those reasons, I will no longer be using Spectrum. I don't believe the company has been transparent with me, and I left the interaction feeling that protecting the company was a higher priority than serving the customer.

At 3am I had a lengthy conversation with a very nice Spectrum Employee. She couldn't resolve the issue by phone and I had to make a service call appointment. Then I am at the gym and get a text the problem is resolved and I can cancel my appointment. I waited to get home to make sure and naturally it was still flashing. I again called and was told "as long as everything was working ignore the lights." "Or, keep my appointment." I'm keeping the appointment. Frustrated I searched Spectrum Website and learned it's most likely the battery in the modem. Who knew there's a battery inside??!! The two representatives sure didn't. I realized it myself when I read it next to the light on the modem. At this time, except the flashing lights, the other two indicator lights stopped working this afternoon. My daughter thinks the technician will replace the modem. I hope so! A battery installation costs $60! I really don't know if I can recommend. I do know people that have Verizon FIOS and they have issues too. All these companies are frustrating!

Cable pixelates!! Bill is outrageously high for what you get, which is ALWAYS, consistently lousy…read more TO BE VERY CLEAR: I do not recommend Spectrum Cable!!! You will get EMPTY PROMISES, with a BIG BILL, no matter what!! Spectrum tells you that you will have a high speed wi-fi, BUT, you won't!!!! And, after you pull your hair out from their empty promises, and you decide to do a phone call, (some people say they would rather have a root canal, than have to call the cable company) the Spectrum people will tell you that they see you're not getting the speed you should have, they will say one moment, and they'll probably push some button and say give it a moment claiming that the speed will be higher. From my own personal experience, you get a bunch of empty promises, and lies as far as speed on your Wi-Fi. The cable always pixelates!!! it's just awful that the bill is going to be three figures and when you pay the bill, don't be surprised if two weeks later they tell you your new bill is ready. I feel like I pay every two weeks BECAUSE I DO!!!! and it's adding up to $400 a month and I don't get anything fancy!!! I only get aggravation! this is my least favorite company. And that's why I plan to cancel my cable with this company. I will just keep the Internet. I have bought Roku. I will plug it in and see what happens. I just can't take these high bills anymore. I'm sick and tired of it. Empty promises, empty promises!!!!! READ MORE, is what I will do. Books, articles, newspaper, magazines!! The money goes out to them. Service is crappy for me. And my neighbors! And a few people that I speak to who have been foolish enough to be fooled by thinking they will get a lower rate on their phone bill. Do not even get me started!!! (Suckers!!!). If there is cable trouble you're going to have problems with your telephone service. You want a telephone line you can depend on because you may be in a situation where someone's life depends on that phone call. so don't think you're saving money. I would not recommend getting phone service from this company. Heck I don't even recommend getting cable service from this company. You know, the public can comment when the license for this cable company is up for renewal. Just saying!!

So far it's great, and it appears that the last thing Starry wants to do is start disappointing new…read morecustomers, or not maintain the quality of service it provides over time. Let's face it; that's a death sentence in this times of Yelp and other review websites. I've seen people's complaints and all I can say is that if you had it better with Spectrum in terms of speed and reliability, then you and I must have had different Spectrums. I've only had it a few days, but the set up was done quickly, courteously and professionally, and getting it to my devices could not have been more user friendly. When I had to move around the wires for the modem and router later that night, and lost the connection, I got customer service in minutes on the phone and she got me back to speed in no time, and even sent me an email giving me quick tips on how to get back online if need be in the future. And let's face it again; the price is great too. So unless you really need something extremely reliable for work reasons, and you actually have something more reliable, and are willing to pay the bigger bucks for it, give Starry a free trial.

I called starry to speak to someone. Long story short I asked to speak to someone who could help me and explain what's going on and he said No!! I said excuse me and he said you can talk to me. And basically proceeded to tell me I was out of luck. I asked his name he said TROY LOPEZ !!! What's the point of call customer service and they don't know how to service customers. they Definitely need to go back to training and leave if they don't like they job.

Then yesterday my daughter asks me if I signed up for the free Disney Plus I'm eligible to receive as a Spectrum customer. As soon as she told me the movie I want to see called Summer of Soul was showing I knew I had to sign up. I'm Happy that the process is easy using the Spectrum email I received. After I followed the instructions it let me download the app to my iPad. I'm praying I don't have to log in every time I watch something. I added the movie to my watch list and I'm ready to watch on a cold winter day! Spectrum is the Good The Bad and the Ugly! Three Stars for now.

While my mother and I waited, we observed several employees standing around chatting and joking with one another rather than assisting customers. After about 15 minutes, another customer walked in and was asked if she had a reservation. She said, "No," and was told to wait. Less than two minutes later, she was called ahead of us, even though we had already checked in. At that point, I honestly felt like I should treat this like a DoorDash or Seamless delivery, leave the cable box on the floor, take a photo as proof of delivery, and walk out. That's how disorganized the experience felt. The service was extremely disappointing. There seemed to be no awareness of the waiting customers, no clear process for serving people in order, and very little urgency from the staff. This experience fell well below the level of customer service I expected.

I'll start this really bluntly; I was SA[sexually assaulted] by the service man who came into my…read morehome to install my router + wifi, but to understand the 5 stars, you need to read further -- how it was handled made me want to stay with them. He arrived earlier than expected [9:05a instead of between 11a-1p], so I was sleeping still + was awakened by his call that he was outside. I was a little confused as the events unfolded as a result. I allowed him into my home + showed him where the routers for the rest of our home are located. That's when he asked to see the rest of my unit. I allowed him in to see the space + I am not sure exactly what happened before this moment, but he picked me up + threw me on the bed + began to hump me with his pants still on. I am a stripper, so I was able to make him stop as I am prepared + experienced to handle behavior like that as part of my job is to do this very thing every single night. I told him to stop trying to SA me [because he was still trying] + install my wifi, so I could start work for the day. He listened to me, stopped, + installed my wifi. During his installation, I told my friends who live in the upstairs unit, + they came down to make sure I was okay. I explained what happened, + I brought one of my male friends outside to introduce him to the serviceman as my husband. We then went back inside. When he returned, he installed an extender to me, noting that it would have cost more but I would be getting it for free as a favor. He began to attempt to kiss me + pick me up again. I told him I needed to start work, so I needed to know what I had to sign and walked back to the laundry room where the cameras are. He showed me, I signed, + he began to ask me questions about my husband + stand in my front doorway. That's when my other neighbor came down. He began to ask about her, + I explained she was my wife. He was flabbergasted + stepped out of the doorway, so I could close it. I took a couple days to digest what had happened + reflect over it. The wifi works absolutely amazing [2 gig Fiber]. So I had a gut feeling that it wasn't the company but the employee or contracted serviceman that needed to be held accountable, so other more vulnerable or less empowered Women didn't experience what I did. I started with the immediate feedback form + still felt unsatisfied as I wrote that the Serviceman should not be allowed in a Woman's home. So I tried to call, but was caught in a loop with an AI tech agent who rebooted my gateway thinking that I was having problems, which I was not [as I said, the wifi is great]. So I asked for billing [as I really did -not- want to pay for that installation after what happened to me + ran into the problem of not knowing my account number, because I had focused more on getting the man out of my home rather than listening to the information he was telling me between touching me + humping me. But because I waited so long looking for my account number, I was finally transferred to a HUMAN! Yay! That's when the story get's good. Kimon was extremely empathetic, which was the most divinely perfect individual to be connected to. She was both baffled + enraged as I explained what I was calling for [1] to inform them of the dangerous serviceman + [2] to be able to log into my account. She explained how shocked she was to hear what I had told her + immediately began to work on a report. She consistently reminded me that she was on the line with me still between moments of silence as she made the report. When the report got paused by needed to contact her hire-ups, she began to work on the technical problem. As she finished, she was able to finish the report, meeting both needs efficiently + with the fullness of empathy one hopes for in such a situation. She told me that I would be contacted by email to set up a follow up call. Wow! What a gem of a HUMAN BEING! I will update should anything else unfold, but this has been the best experience, because I felt HEARD + someone instantly worked on the most important priority, which was protected other customers. We shared lots of love + appreciation for each other before we wished each other safety in the New Year. PS I absolutely told her about the extender that was most definitely a way to manipulate me from calling about my experience. I would rather pay for this amazing extender + not the installation that reminded me that there are still men who choose to take an opportunity when they see one. Be safe, Friends.
