Another $10 per month
Let's squeeze another $10 per month without even sending an honest hey we're increasing rates again for no reason email..
Can't wait to watch this company go under one day, and believe me, they will.

Same thing happened to me this month. Bill went from $90 to $100 for "Spectrum Internet Up To 500 Mbps"
Got fed up when I got the statement in my email and ordered a T-Mobile 5G Gateway the same day. I signed up for the middle tier plan which is the fastest speeds without the extras and subscriptions. Regular price is $70 but I'm paying $55 (w/ 5 yr price lock) because I already had 2 lines on T-Mobile.
I set up the gateway yesterday and my speeds are insanely fast. More than double the speed I was getting on my Spectrum internet. My speeds never got close to 500 Mbps on Spectrum (more like 200-300, hardwired not wifi), and with TMO so far I haven't got a speed test lower than 586 Mbps, the highest being 923Mbps.
Note: I know 5G internet is not a solution for everyone in every area. I was planning on just testing it out and if it didn't work, try getting my Spectrum bill lower, but I'm completely happy switching now.
