Currently have spectrum internet and recently received a mobile promotion offer. Get 2 lines, receive 3rd line free for a year. $29.99 per line a month. Plus, the buyback if you currently have a phone through another carrier up to $500 per phone.
I called multiple times and spoke to a different rep every time about the promotion. Explained that I have 4 lines that I would like to bring over. 3 phones are still under a payment plan and 1 has already paid off. I owned more than $500 on each phone but I understood that $500 will be the most that I will qualify for. I verified with each rep. terms and conditions and started the process of transferring. I called to spectrum and provided the phone numbers and names for each line and had them activated 1 by 1 starting off with the paid phone. Everything went smoothly until I called back ready to activate the other 3 phones and came across a scammer!!! This person transfers 2 of my lines and then turned around and said that my latest Android Galaxy S24+ does not qualify for their network and keep pushing me to finance a phone with her today. I explained to her MULTIPLE times that I just paid off this brand-new phone another day so I could transfer it to Spectrum and it's supposed to be part of my buyback paperwork as I had my receipts and I am not looking to finance a new phone. But now that my phone is paid off and unlocked, all of the sudden it no longer qualifies for their service, so I have no other choice but to look for another carrier, JUST for my line. I clearly stated to her that I'm going to keep the other 3 lines on the account as they still qualified for the network and the buyback. So she gets salty and notes my account that "Customer Opted out of buyback" Needless to say... I was fuming when I found out it a few days later when I called to check on the paperwork necessary for the buyback process. She intentionally did that so I couldn't get the promotion since I refused to buy a new phone and possibly didn't increase her commission for this month. After that, everything got worse with each call.
My case was escalated to the Director at a billing department, because apparently only he can add this promotion back. The director was emailed twice and its been around 3 weeks now and I haven't heard anything from him or anyone from Spectrum, but its always "7-10 business days" a bunch of BS! I also found out with another representative that my phone IN FACT QUALIFIES for Spectrum network, so I went ahead and add it to the account hoping that the director is able to pull the call, hear how this asshole of a rep spoke to me and end up messing up my account because she couldn't force another payment plan on me. But nooooooooooo!!!!!! Now another rep. is saying "Oh your phone does not qualify for a buyback because it was added later on" At this point I lost all faith in Spectrum internet and mobile service, as it appears to be a bunch of lies. No one in the customer service can fix this issue and one person that CAN resolve this matter seems to be lost in the parking lot for over 3 weeks as he's always out of the office.
Do not recommend Spectrum to anyone and about to pull cancel all my accounts. Their promotions are always accompanied by falls advertisement and scammers. Don't see a point in having a bundle deal with 1 easy payment where all I'm getting is bad service, terrible customer service representative and the company in general that sells falls promises.
Here is what you actually signing up for.
1. Customer service that don't know what they are doing and can transfer you 7 times and verify the same fucking information 7 days throughout 1 call. Because they're too lazy to let the next rep know that the customer has been verified and here is her issue
2. Internet constantly disrupted and always slows down. Unfortunately, my Carrollton area is primary dominated by them and you still cant get a good service at home or in the office. And the funny thing is that at my old office in Dallas, I had AT&T internet service. When the spectrum technician was in the building around the switch board, everyone with AT&T service would "Suddenly and Unexpectedly" internet connection. Multiple times it has been reported that someone was unplugging all and ONLY AT&T cables in the switch room where only technicians are allowed. Coincident? I don't think so, its way too obvious.
My issues are still not resolved. I'm sure that scammer still works for Spectrum because they cant even track down their own employees. Currently looking for a new service provider to transfer my 4 lines, home internet and business account for all 3 of my office locations. read more
