I just moved to Suffolk VA from Chesapeake VA where I had Verizon (930D/888U) for 16 years @$69.99/M no contract no hassell, and all I had to do was pay the bill. Enter Spectrum, Easy call setup for their 500D/500U, they have fiber, I am all in. Price after some 2 year contract discount is $69.99/M, half the speed of Version and double the cost but ok. First test comes back at 500D/20U technician says no worries they can increase that for you if you need more, I was like ok sign off. I call in the lady on the line could have cared less about my needs, wants, or desires. Got the Canned response "I can connect you to customer retention"? I was like I have been a customer for 5 days and I am dissatisfied. They don't care because they seem to have a monopoly setup and there are not competitors in the fiber market. So I advise if you work from home think twice before you move to Suffolk Va because of spectrum's Twice as high fees, quarter of the speeds, and horrible customer service!!!

This service is excellent. We are very pleased over all. There haven't been any issues, not even on the rainy days. We would recommend "FiOS" to anyone.
