    After the small Spectrum shop in Hawaii Kai closed, we have been going to Ala Moana for various services. It helps to make an appointment before hand so you don't have to wait, and our waits have not been long. For years, we have tried to lower our cable bill and over and over were told we had the lowest plan available that included HBO and all these channels we never watched. When I worked downtown several years ago, I was able to subscribe to a basic package, which they kept telling me did not exist. A few months ago, we went in for another matter, and I again asked for a basic package and the guy said yes, they had it and changed our plan which saved us a lot of money. We still get the local channels and I subscribe separately to Japanese channels. The only thing I miss is getting news channels like CNBBC and MSNBC, but I can live with it. So I'd give the last rep 5 stars, but I don't remember his name. And the other reps were okay, but they didn't let us change to a cheaper plan. So if anyone else has a situation like this, just keep asking.!

    It wasn't a very busy evening when me and my other half got there. Signed in and was 8th in the queue. This was at around 7pm on Thursday. Line moved quickly. About 4 customer representatives on hand with other customers ahead and after us. Clean store also plenty of free ample ground parking at Ala Moana Center for easy access. The staffs name was Zara, she was very friendly and helpful. We went there to exchange a defaulted digital cable box and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Overall, great service and everything was smooth with home set up. I highly recommend Spectrum!

    Located on the street level... at the far end ... past Meet Fresh, Starbucks, and ABC Stores...

    Paying my auntie's phone and television bill... My cousin was a bit anxious about not having television service for a couple of days. It seems as though my aunt was not well and was behind in making payments to Spectrum. I went to the Ala Moana Center location because it was close to my next appointment. Spectrum is on the Ewa Wing, across from Foodland Farms on the street level... all the way down from Meet Fresh and ABC Stores. When I signed in on the kiosk (because I didn't have an appointment), I was #24 on the list of walk-in customers. I thought I could do some shopping and return... I went to Marshall's and Starbucks to look at merchandise. When I returned, I wasn't any closer to being seen. I asked how I could delete my name from the list. I was told to just let it go. I had a 5pm dinner reservation. After dinner, I returned to Spectrum (they close at 8pm) and was #5 on the list. That was much better. I eventually paid the bill, but they couldn't add my cousin's name onto the account. Thanks for being polite and efficient anyway! The next day, I called Spectrum and got my cousin's name on the account - with my aunty on speakerphone to verify that she was okay with this change. Yay! It's all good now!

    Do they have the Spectrum 101 tv box in stock?

    Yes, oh yes, thank you. What do

    Do you need an appointment to exchange a modem?

    No. You can just walk in. Appointment is good as it puts you ahead of the queue when you check in.

    Do appointments have to wait in the line outside or can they just walk in and check in?

    You don't have to wait in line. When you arrive go to the front of the line and check-in with the door person who will check you in on the tablet. They may have you wait outside for a little bit due to limits of how many can be in store at once,… 

    Where is this located?

    Ala Moana shopping center on the ground level. Near the Foodland end. It's right around the corner from Starbucks.

But when my internet bill went up to $100 a month. I'd had enough. So I stopped by the Hawaii Telcom kiosk in Windward Mall. I met and was helped by Regina Espinoza (she gave me her card to share) . She shared about their program that is only $40/month for high speed internet, the process is locked in for 5 years, this process includes the router AND the first 2 months are free. She didn't have to tell me much more. I was sold at $40/month! She was able to set me up for install the following Wednesday, we decided on a time, afternoon. And we were set to go. On Wednesday afternoon, Robby our installer called to confirm the appointment and to let us know about what time he'd be at our home. Then he called again while he was on his way. My home is in a warehouse, so during the work day, parking can get a little tight. So I called him and told him that I'd make sure that he had a place to park. I had him park in my stall, while I ran some errands. I came home when I knew the parking lot would be clear. And Robbie was leaving to go up the road to make some kind of connection he needed for my install. He came back after a short while. He was very pleasant and courteous. He helped me download the app that I needed to complete the set up, walked me through the app set up and even helped me put my router up, off the floor, so my internet service wouldn't be so spotty. Last of all he asked if I was keeping Spectrum, I told him no way. And asked him if he'd help me take the Spectrum hardware off. He took all the PCs wrapped all the cords and put them on the floor in an easy place for me to get to. I can't express what an excellent level of excellence I received. I'm a very happy new customer and grateful to be "locked in for the next 5 years! " Big Mahalos to Regina and Robbie, for being wonderful examples of Hawaiian Tel com's excellent customer service!

    2026-07-05----Original Review: Shiesty company with gaps of…read moreinformation to cover shady sales tactics. If you want to hear a true-crime story, keep reading, if not, just skip to my synopsis in the last paragraph. A seemingly nice salesman walked around our neighborhood making all kinds of sales and speed claims and price claims, et cetera. He managed to wrangle my contact info out of my dear wife so that he could contact me and inform me of my options, and my very first call is an autodial saying that I'm signed up for a service installation at some date and time they decided to choose?!! Then, I start receiving spam emails about an upcoming service install. I call them up and the man on the line with a thick accent is asking me what the name on my account is and I'm trying to explain that I never even spoke with the sales person, much less agreed to any service, much less, created an account with them. I offer my name and nope! That's not it. We finally figure out that they snaked my wife's name and they've now made up an account with her name on it and now they want me to have her authorize me to speak on her behalf?!! So basically we're now in identity theft territory. I patiently but firmly ask to make a formal complaint against this salesman who conned my wife. But surprise, surprise, the system somehow does not list the name of the salesman. (But I guarantee the company would know who to credit with the "sale" if it somehow went through, otherwise, Mr. Salesman would not be visiting houses if he isn't getting paid.) I am told that they will look into it and "if they can figure it out", they will get back to me. After pressing the agent on the phone, he admits that they actually don't really have that info available to them in their system (so obviously, they would have never called me back). Synopsis: This company is basically a black hole of starless (pun fully intended) darkness: lying and identity-thieving salespeople, zero transparency on who sold or setup our "account". It's institutionalized theft. Run, do not walk from them and for the love of Pete, do NOT give anyone who represents them or claims to represent them your contact info- Take a card (if you MUST) and tell them, that WE will call YOU (if/when we lose our minds, forget completely about this Yelp review (and the thousand like it), and are looking to begin a long term, abusive relationship, against our favor). 2026-07-06----Response to Maria (or is it Jode?) from HawaiianTelcom. I don't have time to further detail anything that hasn't already been said. If, however, you can provide proof that your sales people have been retrained to NOT sign people up for service they never agreed to, AND show proof that Hawaiian Telcom has updated their systems to have some transparency by simply allowing their own "help" department visibility into who made the sale, then I will consider revisiting my review. But until then, this is my honest experience and a warning to my friends and neighbors to not give your info to these folks. The lack of accountability seems institutionalized and if so, it would indicate that the apple is rotten to the core.

The young rude rep was annoyed that I disturbed the game he was playing on his phone. I was told he was not authorized to handle cancellations that I had to go to their Ala Moana location. It's very difficult physically for me to travel after recent back surgery, on top of that I no longer drive or own a vehicle. The added expense of Ubering to Ala Moana Ctr. is daunting for retirees on a fixed income especially during Trumpflation and it seems every business, super market, and corporate entity want to grift or nickel-and-dime the consumer. The phone experience to cancel their 'service' was stressful: 8 dropped calls on their end after going through the procedurals to verify my account with the AI Bot. I gave up which is why I thought perhaps I could cancel at their Kahala Mall kiosk, it was not the case. I had to call a family friend and arrange transportation to Spectrum Ala Moana. I won't go into that horrible nightmare experience which warrants a separate negative review.

However, when I requested my satellite dishes be relocated (from rooftop to ground) due to significant rust on the supports this was the beginning of the end of our customer loyalty. The two new in-ground posts were not secured properly (at the top) and the poles/dishes moved significantly with slight wind. Random cable placement along the side of the house looked ridiculous. Excess cable (approx 3-5') was loose and stuffed behind the pole-top dish mount and the satellite reception was never obtained - no TV for 5 days. The old, rusted satellite dishes were left on the rooftop - technician stated that I needed to call-in a separate work order to have them removed to which I replied "that was my original work request". I pleaded with the technician to remove the old dishes due to safety concerns - he relented and removed the dishes but left the rusted mounts and bolts on top of the roof. The first call to customer Svc / CS that same day ended with "we'll have a technician back there tomorrow". After a no-show the following day the second call to CS was further frustrating w the CS agent stating "we have no record of your previous call". The technician actions along w the CS drama led to a 'no choice' decision - cancellation of DISH service. As of this writing we're still awaiting our $200+ reimbursement- all receivers and equipment were mailed back in June and received (tracked). Unprofessional and unacceptable customer support and service. I gotta say it (DISH) was fun while it lasted.
