Been waiting in this line for over 50 min now to simply turn in a box!!!! Don't pick Soectrum

0 zero stars if I could Spectrum sent us a new cable box. We never asked for this. Made us set it up and said we had to return the old box. I had my 19 year old daughter drive the old box to Spectrum on Main St in Ventura. They wouldn't allow her for RETURN the old box cuz her name wasn't on the account. So I had to take time off work to come and return the box. Been waiting 45 min in the lobby to simply return the box that I never wanted to replace in the first place!!!!!!! Worst service ever!!!!! They said I couldn't just leave the box without meeting with a rep cuz I wouldn't receive credit for dropping it off. So I continue to wait for one of the two very slow reps to get to me ( only one person in front of me and they have taken 45 min and counting!!!!!)..... unbelievable!!! Who operates like this!!!?!?!?

Having been a customer of Mitec's internet service since 2015, my innards turned to ice when I was notified in 2024 that the company had "spun off the Internet department into its own standalone business," along with reassurances that the high quality of service would continue uninterrupted (my paraphrase). And then the troubles began. The internet speeds were slower and slower. I'm self-employed and work at home, often through the weekend, so the slow speeds were noticeably causing me work delays. I was in denial, though. Then there came what I could not ignore: a substantial outage, during which I was unable to hold scheduled meetings with two clients. Afterwards, customers received a multi-paragraph 430-word email from the general manager, expressing his belief in "honesty and integrity," promoting the dedication and commitment of the team, explaining the outage, and promising "a credit off next month's bill" as a thank-you for supporting a local business. Anyone can say anything, and you may have guessed from the foreshadowing that there was no credit on my next month's bill. Was I surprised? Yes, because I had been used to the previous excellent customer service and No, because obvious. I emailed to ask for the credit on February 16. I emailed again on March 3 and received a response on March 4. How much was the discount? A whopping $6.49, when I lost 3 billable hours that, trust me, added up to quite a bit more, and had to rearrange the following week's schedule to make them up. It bothers me to drop a local business in favor of an immense corporation, a corporation that I personally loathe for many many reasons. Originally I was on board with Mitec primarily because it was a small local business, even though there were other, cheaper alternatives. And until this change, I was very happy with Mitec, I was okay with the cost because it was dependable, the technicians were always fantastic, and the customer service was nothing short of amazing. I recommended them whenever the subject of ISPs came up. When this other provider came knocking, offering $500 in gift cards, along with a monthly savings of $14.99 for speeds that tested as much, much faster, I emailed Lytwave asking if there was anything they could do, could they get me higher speeds? Failing that, could they match this other company's price? There was, as you might have guessed, no response. I switched. The last day I used Lytwave was September 30, 2025. I meant to cancel but forgot. On November 7, I wrote to cancel my service. I received a response on November 10 that included a cancellation form for me to fill out and this note: "The form requires you to select a termination date at least 30 days out, but if you prefer an earlier date, please enter it in the 'Reason' section, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request." I filled out the form and returned it within minutes. Did Lytwave accommodate or even remember my request? Remember the foreshadowing. No, they did not. In fact, they claimed that my service was "active and used" during those two months when the reality was that I had stopped using Mitec on September 30 and unplugged my router a week or two later, and so had not used the service for all of October, November, and the 10 days for which I was billed in December. Remember the general manager's proclamation of his belief in "honesty and integrity"? Did I pay? Yes, all of $136.41 with the tacked-on late fees. So much for doing their best to accommodate my request. Let this be a cautionary tale. If a small local business wants to keep its customers, it needs to provide good customer service. In contrast, last week I needed to call customer service at the big loathesome corporation. My call went through, I talked to an agent, he solved the problem, and that was that. I used my $500 in gift cards for groceries and Christmas presents, and this year, I'll save $179.88 on internet service.

We run a logistics company and need fast, reliable internet with a static IP address. Here's why we picked Geolink: 1) Their installers are professional and know exactly what they're doing. The setup is always smooth and stress-free. 2) Their service is reliable. In the past 10 years, the internet only went down once--and that was during a windy day back when we were in Rancho Cucamonga. 3) The internet speed is always fast and stable. 4) Their tech support is helpful and easy to reach when we need them. Overall, Geolink has been a great partner with excellent service and support. I highly recommend them to other businesses. Thanks for keeping us connected for the past 10 years.

We pay $75 per month for 30 MBPS down / 10MBPS up but only get 17MBPS down and 1.5MBPS up so we are switching to 100MBPS Starlink for $50 per month. All that Geolinks would have needed to do to keep us happy would have been deliver most of the bandwidth that we pay for somewhat consistently. Image below: We have been hitting speeds like this consistently for several days. We called in a ticket and Geolinks promised dispatch which has never called. So another bad Yelp review and we are pretty much fed up. For this image I removed our IP Address and test IDs for privacy but the speeds are exactly what we are seeing .

Absolutely terrible customer service…read more We've been Spectrum customers for 9 years and have visited this location many times. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've experienced poor customer service here, but we've always let it go and given them another chance. We had to come in for a new physical SIM card because of an issue on Spectrum's end. For the past 2 months, we've had an open ticket after a random phone that doesn't belong to us was mistakenly added to our account. Once Spectrum finally began resolving the issue, they told my husband to visit the store for a replacement SIM card. After the new SIM card was installed, his phone completely stopped working. He couldn't make or receive calls, send or receive texts, or use cellular data. We scheduled the very first appointment available, which wasn't until 4:00 p.m. We came in as soon as we could. While we were in the store, we were also on the phone with Spectrum Customer Service trying to activate one of our watches. The representative on the phone was incredibly patient, kind, and spent over an hour and a half helping us until the watch was finally fixed. We truly appreciated her. The experience inside the store was the complete opposite. The employee helping us was polite at first, but once he couldn't fix the SIM card issue, it felt like no one wanted to help anymore. My husband simply said, "This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to buy a new phone just because of this." Without anyone even speaking to her, the manager--a shorter woman with short hair--yelled across the store that we couldn't trade in or buy a phone because it takes over two hours, that we should have come earlier or made an appointment, and that they were closing in 20 minutes. I repeatedly explained that we did make an appt as soon as one was available, and the earliest opening was 4p.m. She ignored what I was saying and just kept repeating, "Not my problem." When we briefly considered getting a new phone, we even showed the staff that the next available appointment online was also around 3or 4p.m., just like ours. If the process truly requires over 2 hours, then why are appointments still being offered that late in the day? That makes no sense. Honestly, if you're reading this and thinking an appointment matters, based on our experience, it really didn't. The store was nearly empty. There were 4 other representatives, including the manager, standing around at their desk while walk-in customers were being helped as they came in. If appointments are required or are going to be used as an excuse, then they should actually serve a purpose. She also told us if we wanted help, we could go to Best Buy and see Geek Squad instead. Hearing a Spectrum manager tell paying customers to go somewhere else because she didn't want to help was incredibly unprofessional. Every time I tried to calmly explain the situation, she interrupted, raised her voice, and continued repeating that it wasn't her problem. Eventually my husband became frustrated and raised his voice as well. While he later apologized--which was the right thing to do--I honestly don't think she deserved one. I normally believe everyone deserves an apology when things get heated, but she was never respectful, welcoming, or warm throughout the entire interaction. As the manager, she should have been the one setting the tone and helping de-escalate the situation, not making it worse. Instead, she continued threatening that she didn't have to sell us a phone and that we could leave, even though they weren't actually helping us in the first place. I'm honestly not sure how someone with that attitude is in a management position. Even the Spectrum Customer Service representative on the phone overheard the interaction and commented that the employees were not speaking to us appropriately. She also mentioned that every Spectrum store should have staff who can assist customers with technical issues, not just sales. If you're in Oxnard and need to visit this Spectrum location, I would recommend going somewhere else. The manager's attitude was rude, dismissive, condescending, and completely lacking in professionalism. A manager should lead by example, de-escalate difficult situations, and treat customers with respect. Unfortunately, that was not the experience we had here.

I followed the instructions for the return of the equipment, which zeroed out my final bill... except for about $4 that was labeled "taxes and fees." I thought having taxes on a zero dollar bill was strange, so I reached out to customer service. I called their customer service number FIVE times and could never get past the automated robot. It didn't matter how I answered the automated questions; the final result would be that the robot would hang up on me. I had to redownload the app and use the AI chatbot to finally get to a real person. They removed the extraneous charge and I deleted the app, happy to be done with this company forever... And then the next month, they added a $5 "adjustment" to the prior bill period and billed me for this "past due balance." I redownloaded the app AGAIN, used the chatbot to access a real human, and got the charge removed again. In short, Frontier kept adding small random charges to my account after I discontinued service with them, and then made it really difficult to get them removed. These feel like incredibly scummy business practices and I would urge anyone to avoid doing business with them.
