I have/had only internet from time warner now spectrum. I paid $54.99 a month for 30 mbps. I have been paying my bill to spectrum for some time now. I received my new bill of $79.99. I called in and asked for the promotional rate I was paying. The lady told me the best she could do is $59.99, I agreed reluctantly, then she asked if I rent a modem. I told her I have my own, she then told me the best she can do is $64.99??? I told her I will not pay that much and will switch to AT&T which was cheaper. She said okay, so I hung up and did some research.
The new CEO of spectrum is willing to sacrifice 50k customers a quarter until the time warner promotions run out. He is taking the gamble that most customers will not switch, and will be happy with the lower price they offer ( for me $64.99 compared to my bill of $79.99) and get 100mbps. I do not need to be paying more than the $54.99 I was paying for more speed I do not need. They offer new customers $35.99 a month for a year? And yet a current customer who has never missed a payment, they are gonna jack up the price???
So AT&T offers me fiber optic 25mpbs. I had it installed and tested it for streaming and gaming before I canceled spectrum. Yes AT&T has a data cap of 1 terabyte per month. I checked my spectrum usage and never went over 750 gigabytes, and we watch a lot of Netflix. :)
I am paying $43 a month now with AT&T and the guy told me to call for my promotional rate a month before it expires and they will always extend it. Yes there is. $90 install fee, but they do send you a $50 gift card, so the $40 install out of pocket is still the cheaper route.
Once I knew I was sticking with AT&T. The call I made to cancel Spectrum was fun :)
