Zero stars. Don't make the mistake of signing up with Charter!…read more Look at Charter's terrible reviews everywhere. Consumerist magazine (not-for-profit subsidiary of Consumer Reports) calls Charter the "worst company in America." It's no wonder Charter went bankrupt a few years ago. This sleazy firm's business practices include: - cutting your satellite cable, then insisting that customer fight with Charter's 3rd party unlicensed contractor instead of honestly owning up to their mistake and correcting it. - moving your first bill due date ahead after first bill, without prior notification (told this is a "standard" Charter procedure on 2nd bill) - insisting that customers wait 45 days (unbelievable but true) for Charter's Autopay system to take effect, then warning that double payments may occur when customer attempts to make a one-time payment prior to the interim due date (as a safety measure) - moving from CSR agents in South Carolina to the Phillipines, where they lie to customers by claiming healthy account status with zero problems and confirming Autopay sign up weeks ago, then cutting off all services including (Emergency 911) shortly thereafter, without prior notice - migrating from helpful humans to speak with or chat online (about no-service issues) to worthless automated systems - poor no-service reliability I really wanted to love Charter. Our credit history is well above 700 and we always pay bills on time. But after several serious attempts to cooperate with Charter, acting as a good customer to straighten out their billing errors, all of our attempts have been futile. I recommend that prospective customers view the 800+ complaints about Charter on another website, plus other sites, before wasting your time. If you like unethical business practices, you'll love Charter!

Even after cancelling on 8/13, getting email confirmation of 8/13, having a spectrum supervisor…read moretell me on the phone that I called that day (to cancel), they're still trying to tell me that I arbitrarily ended my service on 8/25, which makes no sense. If anything, the employee might've told me we had service until 8/15, not 8/25, because the cycle is to 8/15. After years of getting charged way too much for mediocre wifi, they can't even see how their "notes" don't make any sense and that the charge on me is invalid. They now put me as the consumer in a terrible spot essentially saying 1. Pay this now, even though it isn't really owed or 2. Don't pay it and take a hit to your credit. Good times. Last person I talked to was Nessa, a supervisor with Charter Spectrum out of the North Texas Call Center. I'd appreciate if this could be handled without hurting the consumer or dragging on, please and thank you. Respectfully, please drop this charge.

There is something really wrong with Spectrum. I went to the local Hickory Spectrum office. I…read morewaited at front door for them to open and they did open on time. Before I was ever able to get a number from the customer service kiosk for a number to be served. I was told that that there would be an hour and a half wait to return equipment and cancel service. If I was getting new service to get a number. The Spectrum gentlemen that talked with me said that i had to take the equipment to the local ups store and they would return it for me and that he would cancel my service once the equipment was scanned, and appeared on his system at the store. This gentlemen never said i had to call and cancel. I did this on July 1st 2026 and needless to say that I received my monthly bill for July. Although it showed that I returned on July 1st. Called customer service. It took 30 mins to get the an answer and that i should have called earlier.It is unbelievable that they tried to get me to stay for less than half of my current billing amount. I have been a customer for 17 years and every time i get a tele marketer call from spectrum they say i do not qualify because I am a current customer. They constantly go up a few dollars every six month. The internet service never was as strong as i was supposedly was paying for. Over the last 6 months the internet service struggle to keep the TV going. After being point blank lied to at the Spectrum store and the procedure to return so difficult that i could never recommend Spectrum to anyone. Now they want me to pay a whole month for service that i do not have the equipment to use because they have it. My advise research every alternative and never use spectrum. They could care less about the customer. Spectrum is like so many large companies these days It is about the profit and not the customer. It just stinks to be lied to over the whole process. Never again for me!!
