very unprofessional employee, they are aggressive. I prefer to use the self service kiosk but it's usually down.

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!

Good when it works, but service is already out for several days after just two months. I consider…read moreinternet service one of these things that should work all the time. 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

When in need of important documentation and information I always opt for hard copies, despite this…read moreever changing world where technological options are firsthand. Hence, I needed updated information in regards to my Spectrum account for my records, so I decide to go in store since it's close to home and I needed it ASAP. I am a fairly new customer only having service just 1 month shy of a year, so I am not that familiar with the in store servicing. Although, I do know that they are very helpful whenever I was in need of at home customer service, with all questions and concerns resolved in no time via phone. I guess I can call myself a minimalist because I really do not like to accumalate paperwork (or anything else for that matter) that has no long term use or significance to save for future reference. So, what do I do? I go paperless most of the time if it is available. Yet, for some reason the need of a paper document came calling me... Why does this always find a way to happen to me? Anyways, I go to the Spectrum store with high hopes of being in and out with no worries and what do I see upon walking in? Yup, quite a few people waiting. Some standing, some sitting, people with loud children, but all the while I still had to wait a bit to be helped. As soon as I walked in I was approached by the security guard who asked me to stay at the door, he then asked how could he help me. I let him know that I was there to get some documents printed if possible. I then was asked to sign in at the kiosk with all my contact information and my name would be called in the appropriate order so a representative can assist me. Okay, so what looked like forever turned out to be about a thirty minute wait not including the service. I was standing the whole time due to the guidelines needed to follow social distancing which was understandable. I pretty much spent most of the time between looking in my phone and looking up at the monitor to see what number my place in line was. All right, all right, two more and they will call my name I said to myself because at this point the anxiety was kicking in. Ten minutes later, I was called to one of the three desk where I was helped by a female representative (I forgot her name). She was very patient and asked me my name and other contact information which I quickly provided her with. I waited a few minutes for her to pull up my account and she then asked for my identification. I show her with no problem and then let her know that I needed some paperwork printed. She was able to accomodate what I needed but with a small struggle. Now, when you think all I needed were a few papers printed you say to yourself that's no problem, easy thing right? Well sort of. Unfortunately, the printer was having problems so I had to wait a bit to get the copies. She even let me know that I could pull it up online by logging into the website which was all good, but the thing is like I told you I needed everything on paper. Almost ten minutes pass and she was finally able to go in the back room and get the documents only to come back and hand me three copies of each document. Her explanation was that the printer was backed up and irresponsive. I just thanked her for her service and left as fast as I could because I was behind schedule with having other things to do before the day ended. Although I tried calling before I went in store, the only telephone number provided was the general customer service number. I really had intentions to avoid waiting, but I had no choice; so my advice if you are a Spectrum customer try to resolve any needs over the phone or online. As some of you already know, going in store nowadays is only a final option. As far as the Spectrum at this location, well for the most part they are helpful but could be more organized as far as the customer wait and timing. Also, there should be more seating available for when times get busy because the wait may require a sit down.

Terrible expensive service aside... this was my in store experience…read more Employee: sign this Me: what is this Employee: a receipt *blank face* Me: *dead stare* Employee: a receipt saying you returned the equipment At that point I already read it... but y'all just ask people to put their signature on stuff without explaining what it is?!? And be mad at when you need to work ?! I'm so happy I was returning my equipment and don't have to deal with h spectrum in any capacity every again.

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

Bway is simply everything good left in this world. A human touch to the service with actual…read moreinteraction with people you can get to know. The barren cold alternative I tried was the big corp internet provider in NYC. Bway offers amazing reliable and fast service. An internet you can rely on. While all these perks come at a higher tag, there is an astounding amount of frustration you are saving yourself from. Trust me. Every little interaction with the big corp internet providers in town will leave you feeling frustrated, empty and violated. Bway is worth every penny. In addition, they offer a static IP as a standard. You always have a dedicated reliable line. That opens up a multitude of potential.
