Anyone in Yadkinville area using Spectrum internet? I see an add for $30 a month for 50 MPBS for 24 months.

I currently have Centurylink for $50 a month at up to 3 MPBS & it’s crummy. I am also concerned at what price of a Spectrum is after the 24 months is up...
 
My daughter got an amazing promo package from Spectrum. When the promo was over, they dropped the hammer on her and she switched to the local phone company. I say take the promo and worry about month 25 two years down the road.
 
AT&T :p

I agree, :p to AT&T.
They inherited me when they bought Cingular 15 years ago. During that time, my monthly cell bill averaged nearly $200 month (perhaps not so much now but that was plenty 19+ years ago). When I ported my number away from them a few months ago, I never heard a peep from AT&T. No, “Anything we can do to set you back?” or even a “Watch out for the screen door on the way out”.
 
I dumped att fiber after 6 months because even though it was always showing good at the router the WiFi was ALWAYS up and down. It was ridiculous how many time I'd have to reset the gateway every day.

Wilkes Communications fiber. Only had a few small outages since we have had it. Was spectrum prior. Had outages daily which is a huge pain when you telecommute. Plus fees kept increasing over the 3 years we had them it was ridiculous.

No idea I used their router and they set it up. I had to get a blue tooth(?) extension to plug my wife's work computer and phone into and it would always drop service. Don't get me wrong it would work. But it was like when this website gets super slow it was click a button...............................@&$&@$$#%..............................poof. Then when you reset the gateway it was click...poof for about 20-30 minutes. Real technical I know right.

With fiber we got 340 Mbs for 20 cheaper we get a more consistent 400 Mbs with spectrum and stream everything which is pretty awesome.

Dont worry about what'lll happen two years from now, switch, save money, get better service.
You always worrying, relax bro
 
Wish I knew what it was like to get good internet service, or any service from the company we were paying for it. Buncha crooks
 
CenturyStink 20Mbps at $45/month (only option with a physically ran wire around here) and AT&T Ipad plan on a Netgear MR1100 Nighthawk hot spot as a backup/vacation/use because the kids hog the CenturyStink connection, etc at $34.99/month. Faster than my CenturyStink.

Spectrum internet, phone, T.V. package. My wife still won't let me get rid of the hard line. But for $9.99 a month I'll just pay it and not fight it. :rolleyes:

OP, sorry I was uhhhh pretty inebriated last night. While the price per mb was true, I realize you live somewhere completely different and so not getting “scammed” lol.

My bad. But also like others have said, switch again in 2 years if needed.

Google Fiber for $70 per month, and that includes all taxes and fees.

There are a lot of disadvantages to living in the city, but there are some advantages too. :)

Seriously.
Forget about movies or games.
Youtube vids, start downloading and come back in about 10 minutes.

TV from the antenna on the roof.
If the wind's not blowing, the 9 channels come in pretty good.

Cell phones, yeah, sometimes.

I can relax in December, maybe. :confused:;):(

We ended up going with Spectrum at 50 MBPS but may upgrade to the 100 if it doesn’t work.
 
Spectrum (cable). Only internet 200 MBps down at $65/month. It was $45? For a year on special then went up. Still much better than DSL for the price in this area. Unfortunately no fiber in my neighborhood.

Time Warner forever and now Spectrum. About once a year we have some sort of problem but usually with video, not data. Using their hardware so they have no excuses if we have any trouble. Just made that switch in the last 2 yrs. WHole house wifi and it has been working great. Would really like to cut the cord and just have data service and stream all my video content via Roku but my wife cant handle those challenges. My bud down in FLA was a telecom/data/video guy for the international company we worked for. He says 5G is just around the corner, the big green pedestals you see everywhere. Video/voice/data wirelessly from the ped to a recvr box in your house.

Me too, I’ve got an entire staff of Domino’s who count on me for college funds... the stress makes me need more garlic bread twists & that adds to cholesterol which adds to stress, which adds to more brownies... :confused::(

Hopefully we can resist Governor Northam from a seated position.. :D
 
Now we sign up with Spectrum, they send us modem & we can’t get it to work. They send out a technician & he says we can’t even get Spectrum service because we are 700 yards from where the line stops. :mad:

If they can’t service us, why in God’s name did they sign us up to begin with? :mad:
 
AT&T Fiber 400MB up/down, more then I need, signed up a week after they ran the fiber optic cable. Had DSL Bellsouth.
Dumped Time Warner cable, two boxes, jumped in on DirectTV Now, now known as AT&T TV and
added IP hone keeping my phone number.

Forgot to mention above that Spectrum's email server, at least the one I am on, sucks. Slow, slow, slow. Sometimes my email comes in a day or more late. Gradually migrating all my email traffic over to Gmail. You know when you have to reset a password or something and they have to send you a code? I get it instantaneously with Gmail. Spectrum and Outlook can take a day or longer sometimes.
 
I have my own modem and router and supposedly 200Mbps service from Rectum I mean Spectrum. It sucks. And I pay alot since there is no 'promo' deal for 10+ year customers.

When we move I'm considering moving back to AT*T if available, or maybe Windstream if I can get them to run new fiber.
 
Hughesnet and a Verizon hotshot. The Hughesnet sucks azz but is the ONlY thing we can get out here in the sticks! It’s slow, you can’t watch anything on TV with it because of it buffering all the time. My hotspot is hit and miss too from the house, it doesn’t work very well here as do our cell phones. I’m down in a hole and not close to a tower. I’d get rid of our landline phone if the cells did a better job. I can’t even put in a cell booster because of the crappy internet!
 
Spinctrum/Time Warner.

The most dependably intermittent service one can purchase. And indeed, the mail server is terrible.
 
Spectrum sucks. It is the only thing in our area and like someone else mentioned once you are with them for a few years you get no breaks at all. We pay up the ass for crappy service.

Your landline provider doesn't have DSL? It's not the greatest but we can at least watch Netflix etc without a bunch of buffering.
I dropped the landline we had in favor of 2 DSL lines, one for "home" and one for work stuff.
