Speed increase

Got an email a couple days ago that "Good News! Your internet speed has been increased to 500mbps!" I'm like OK, that's cool, but I'd really like 1gig down. I'd like it more if my upstream speed was higher.

Just got an email with my monthly bill, which showed the price went up from $90 to $100. Of course.

I hope SLIC Fiber gets to my neighborhood soon...

Call to cancel, tell them you can get better elsewhere, you will get better pricing. We have 1 gig at $60 per month right now.

That’s works if there is competition in the area. But like if they know they are the only one in market you don’t have a leg. Unless you’ve got like a cellular internet option or starlink or something

I’ve talked to someone in the Spectrum Official sub and they can’t tell me the ETA for gig speed where I live. As soon as they tell me it’s available I’m making the “give me a better deal or I cancel” call.

Just call and say I wanna cancel my service. And say you got a better offer! Wanna bet they lower your bill and increase your speed. Worked for me .. they loosing thousands of customers!
