This is not okay. I have home phone, cable and internet. and since the day it was installed I've had problems. yesterday, I reached out to customer support and was told someone will call me back, never happened. I only have my cell phone for communication, no house phone. today, I tried to chat with an agent to get a tech scheduled to come out to my home and was disconnected 4 times ! as you can see below! and one chat rep said they would have someone call me back in 90 minutes,, big surprise no call back! its disappointing that your company has gotten so big , that you think you can afford to treat your customers this way, really sad.

From the beginning installed wrong equipment. I paid the bill four five times later service calls still not getting what I paid for they finally changed out the equipment and installed the right equipment that was promised. After the for five visits now I was doing speed test and never receiving the package you originally signed me up for. I paid the bill. Several more times technicians needed to return to site finally a technician register the equipment. Still not receiving what I paid for on a consistent basis. Now I decided I am not going to pay the bill. And the true colors come out with even more horrible customer service

I'm requesting one last time for this account to be adjusted and to provide me to Wheats with uninterrupted service and providing me the speeds that I am paying for

March are April are big months for basketball. Last night I was unable to get ESPN so that I could watch the NIT finals, as soon as the game was over, ESPN comes on. Again tonight, I am trying to watch the NCAA final fours and no ESPN. What's up with that?

Your rates keep going up but your service gets worse. Every time I call, all you get is a voice recording, which is NOT helpful. I tried to reboot my box, still no ESPN. I am one VERY UNHAPPY customer!!!!!

Too Whom it May concern: I Called Spectrum to get a scheduled appt for spectrum installation of residential services on 3/ 29/19. I was provided an appointment for 4/3/19 at 10am. My appointment was rescheduled for 11 am then 2 pm without consulting me.

I was left a message on my phone confirming these actions on the day of the appointment. I called Spectrum to clarify the messages and was told that the technician would not be coming today because he was not working.

Ihad scheduled time off from my work to accomodate the appointments that were no longer valid and I would be rescheduled for 4/3/19 between 4-5:30pm. A supervisor confirmd this date after he contacted the dispatch. I took off work again to make sure I would be home for the installtion on 4/3/19.

i recently switched from AT& T to Spectrum. I purchased three Apple TV boxes and decided I wanted a regular box instead of the Apple TV because i wasn't satisfied with it. I informed the representative at Spectrum. I was told , I could take it to the store and return it.

Once I drove miles to get to the nearest store, I could not return it because it was open!!! If, I was told, the return policy before I made the purchase. I would have not open it but your representative fail to give me this information.

I am now suck with Apple TV box I am not using nor do I want. I am very dissatisfied as a new customer and will not recommend Spectrum to anyone..

I signed up for a promotion back in December where they were offering a 30 day free trial for internet, phone and cable with DVR. I already had internet and was paying 80$. They said and showed on my sales receipt that my total would be 125$.

After my first bill I noticed it was 150$. I called to complain, they offered me no assistance, only offered to comp the difference for 1 of the 2 and a half months I had it. Comparing my sales receipt to my bill shows the sales agent checked the box for regular internet but fraudently submitted ultra internet.

Spectrum for internet speed is slow and poor connection has been going on for past a couple years and I contact them for credit for the poor service most of the time they will refuse or they'll make it difficult for them to listen to me or even they promise to give credit for their poor service but later on they never apply credit.

few occasions that apply but only 1 or 2 dollars here and there and they keep raising their price. they are monopoly. we need to take them accountable for their deeds! Thanks.

Yesterday I received an email that said it was from Spectrum. The email stated there was problem with my Spectrum account(10404-701750901-9001 and I needed to answer the email to clear up the problem. I was concerned that it might be a "phishing" email so I called 1-855-707-7328.

I was told that there was heavy call volume and that I would receive a call back in several minutes. I received a call and was connected to a tech support person. I specifically asked him if the email was legitimate and he indicated he believed so.

He accessed my email and stayed on the line while I answered the questions (about 20 minutes). The questions included requests for my Social Security #, my driver's license #, my birth date, and a number of other questions, which I supplied. When I finished the…

claimed they had a deal with Verizon and I could switch with no loss of Verizon service for half the price but I had to buy a phone from them. Both claims were false. No phone purchase was necessary. Your last in line on Verizon's towers and frequently have extremely slow connect speeds.

Try to return phone and cancel service, lol, except it wasn't funny. Verizon senior executive tells me they have no deal with Spectrum. "why would we cut our own throats?"

I recently called Spectrum to ask for any compensation after my home being destroyed by Hurricane Florence in October of 2019. My house is still uninhabitable. Who knew it would last this long? 00. I politely asked to speak to a supervisor.

Unfortunately, the supervisor wasn't much better. He was just more confident in his answer. No accessions accept to pause my account because even though I was not able to live in the house, the survive is still running and the charges are legitimate.

True, but neither of these agents seem to have any idea of good customer service, nor the value of trying to keep a long time customer. I've been a loyal customer with Time Warner…

I called and asked if spectrum was available in my area and I was assured that it was and then 20 minuites later I was transferred and was told that I was not getting phone, internet, cable installed . there is access literally 1000 feet from my residence , 5 homes within eyesight of my own home, and literally 50+ homes on our road that have no access to cable television, cable internet, which seems like a revenue stream that your company is missing out on.

00 dollars a month between dish network and hugesnet internet service just at my residence. 00 a year just for one residence, even if half the homes signed up for spectrum services your company would generate 100,000 dollars a year in added revenue.

At approximately 10:30am on March 9, 2019, I called a customer service representative (Shaquille) to inquire about Spectrum phone service. I had specific questions that were not answered by my local representative. Each time I attempted to ask my specific question, Shaquille interrupted me to begin his talk about purchasing new phones.

" I finally hung up the phone, but I am disgusted by the treatment from this representative. Our local representative was nice, but I typically have to wait for 40-60 minutes in line because there is only one representative in that building.

Spectrum has now lost potential phone customers due to this.

Service returned for a short time and phone worked a few minutes, but can't be connected to a representative, a human, by your automated system. Phone service allows me to dial and sometimes connect with your robot on both lines but drops me when waiting to get to a human rep.

607-296-7155 - Had 4 tickets go through (6 week period) to release restriction on savings account to pay on cable bill. Was told on 4 occasions the past 6 weeks, that it was taken off, but still is restricted for the next 6 months.

Was lied to numerous times, IE will call you back, gave a false name over the phone, and couldn't explain why payment would not go through because they showed the restriction was taken off. Very upset with the lack of skills/training that the reps have towards their customers with incorrect information given to the customer.

I am the daughter of this account and I help my mom pay it (from DE), she's elderly and cant get out.

Hi, I am happy with the INTERNET ONLY service I signed up for - although the rates have gone up from what I was quoted. But the incessant ad campaign for further services needs to stop. I receive constant phone calls and too numerous to count postal ads. Is there some way to discontinue this. I am actually considering returning to my former carrier to avoid this - it is too much. I know how to find you on the internet - if I want more services, I will let you know.

I would appreciate a reply letting me know I have been placed on a do-not-contact with ads list. Sincerely, Gail Johannes

I called Spectrum this morning to ask about adding a streaming package to my Internet account. The first guy I reached was nice enough but completely unqualified to speak with customers. He garbled his words, I could barely hear him, he placed me on hold over and over for no reason whatsoever. Hang on ma'am.

Finally come back to the line and when I would tell him I couldn't understand him he would put me on hold again. I finally had to hang up and call back to try to reach someone else. The 2nd time I called, I reached a female that could barely speak English and spoke so softly I couldn't hear her either.

I asked her about the streaming package and was given a price. I asked her what channels I would be able to stream and this was her answer. Over 20 local channels and 10 you get to…

It has become to the point where they have left live wires on the outside of my home and did not burying them and their are kids in this neighborhood playing in the yards constantly.

I had to call for them to get someone out here to buy them after they left them for over a week outside with flags for the maintenance team to take care of it which didn't happen.

I wish I could rate Spectrum with a 0. 00 increase in my February bill. Why? There was a change, not my change. This is what I was told when I talked to a representative. The rep. didn't know why there was a change, I figured it out from the bill. 00 each.

As it is the TV stations are pretty sad. I see programs on the menu that I watched when I was a young child. Is that the best Spectrum can do? Spectrum had a promotional package when I signed up and here, a year later they take it back. Why?

Spectrum is greedy and customers that I know are unsatisfied and disappointed in this company. Spectrum just has to better for their customers as some I know have already switched companies and I intend to do the same after I do some research. Shame on you.

Terrible customer support from Spectrum. Routine maintenance 1/17, arrived home to find note on door no service. Allegedly repaired 1/18. No service 1/24 when I arrived home from work. Allegedly repaired 1/25. No service 1/27, supervisor came out to diagnose.

I was promised that the local stations would still be available. I was promised that the DVR would allow me to continue recording shows while I was away, and I was promised that Spectrum had an app that would allow me to program my DVR remotely.
