As has been said before by many others, this company has bad customer service. Far worse than the…read moreservice is their dishonesty. Astound is a good name for these people. The low level customer service and the way the company bilks customers is astounding. They claim to be giving you a five (5) year price lock. In my case, two months later they change the name of your promotion to Promotion for Life. They say that this means that only the taxes can go up if they do, but not the price for the service in my case, $40.00 with $5.66 in taxes for a total of $45.66. Do not be fooled. All their promotions, regardless of names, can be renamed and repriced at any time. They actively promote Autobilling, which means they take the money directly out of your bank account each month. It is not worth getting a $5 reduction to have these crooks get access to your bank account. Once you provide them with your bank account number, they can help themselves to any amount. Prices with Astound change at the drop of a hat. They do this by claiming that your plan's name was changed. What this means is that they hiked the price. Am actively going to see if I can find a better deal elsewhere. These people are nasty and only interested in bilking customers. These are seasoned scam artists.

This place feels more like a circus than a customer service center. It takes multiple employees…read morejust to address a single issue, while other employees casually walk in and out holding iced coffees as if they're taking a break instead of helping customers who have been waiting. The location is on a very busy street, and finding metered parking is extremely difficult. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice employees openly talking about customers after they left, which is completely unprofessional and reflects poorly on the business. There is plenty of seating available, but be prepared to wait. I've been here for over 20 minutes watching one employee enjoy his iced coffee while customers continue to sit and wait for assistance. Experiences like this make it easy to understand why so many people are moving away from Spectrum. Customer service should be a priority, and unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

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.

My mother is paying very close to$300 per month for her tv and internet service. She has dropped…read moredown to strictly basic channels and her bill is still$290. It appears as though spectrum charges different amounts in different areas as my sister and niece are not paying that astronomical amount. I tried to convince my mom to drop the service but unfortunately much older generation finds it difficult to adjust to change. Spectrum should stop robbing from their customers as i have read they are losing several customers. I urge everyone to choose another service where possible. Comparative shopping in this day and time is a must. No one should be paying $300 every month for tv when there is less and less to watch these days

If I need a new remote control for my TV I can get one while I'm here. I'm not happy about my huge internet and cable TV bills. I have had the service since it was Time Warner and it's hard to let go. I'm finally tired of watching the same shows over and over so I am exploring more channels. Plus the addition of Disney Plus has been great. I watched Summer of Soul and this week Hamilton. As for the internet I've never had outages and I certainly have enough speed for what I do. I'm giving this location and my current feeling about Spectrum 4 Stars. I'm sure I will probably be disenchanted when my year of internet and cable discounts $20 a month each ends!!

Was considering signing up with them but....I'm not so sure they are truly a 'local' NYC-based…read morecompany. When I called to sign up (THREE times now, but still no call back) it was as if I was connected to some 'answering' service in a backroom in the Midwest somewhere. (I don't know many local companies with answering services besides doctor's offices or plumbers or something.) Also, the woman seemed to have an accent (NOT New York). She also seemed to not know NYC neighborhoods...when I gave her my Astoria address she was like 'ok, so that's in Astoria, New York, 11105'? The way she said it, it was as if she'd never heard of Astoria. I then said to her 'is this an NYC-based company?' She seemed to hesitate. I told her I was under the impression it was. She then said 'oh yes'. I said 'and where are you located?' She said 'I'm at the head office....Broad Street...I mean...Broadway'. Hmmm.... Another time I called and was told that 'Josh' (apparently the only person at this 'office' who can set up a new account)...that Josh was 'on vacation' apparently abroad...that he was 'asleep right now'...but that they'd send him another message to call me. Also interesting is that of the FEW reviews they have on Yelp, one reviewer has only written ONE (stellar) review ...naturally for Bway.net....and the other reviewer has only written TWO reviews. Hmmm

Every little interaction with the big corp internet providers in town will leave you feeling frustrated, empty and violated. Bway is worth every penny.
