They force people into their service (by cutting their competitors out of their area), then price gouge out the ass because there are no competitors in the area.

I have many competitors available and COX has the best prices for what I want it for. Your area just sucks.

The only other option in my area is AT&T, whose fastest plan is $10/mo more than Cox's mid tier plan and it's still slower than the mid tier.

Yeah they suck. Luckily I have fast internet through them at my new place but I had the same package at my last place and was getting a quarter of the speed.

This is my take. I have at least three or four different options in my area. I choose Cox because they provide the best service for the price as far as I'm concerned.

To all their own, I guess.

I realize there's a lot of more important shit going on, but Congress should have busted up what ISPs, cable companies, etc. are doing decades ago.

Xfinity is pretty horrible. My internet skips out all the time. I constantly have to reset my WiFi just to get enough signal to browse the internet.

The TV is almost guaranteed to have so much pixelation that you cant even watch something. I absolutely am about to drop their service, but they have a monopoly on the whole city. Your two choices are to have shit internet or go without.

I have the exact opposite experience. I've used Comcast and cox and they're both terrible. Been using xfinity for years and haven't had many issues. Maybe it's your router?

thats not true, they changed their name because they acquired time warner cable. I worked for Spectrum

also Charter Communications is still the parent company. Spectrum is just the product

Honestly I havent had major issues with them except for paying $80 for 400 down. I called Google Fiber and they said that Im eligible to get it so I signed up and they told me to wait for the line to be connected to my house. That was almost a year ago.

So Im stuck with Spectrum for a minute.

choices: centurylink (gone to crap) or charter (halfway decent). had to pick charter.
they don't have an internet cap for now. centurylink is 1 TB limit and it won't go far between 2 people who stream shows at night.

I've paid an "extra" so that the installers would do some magic and get a port close to my house instead of what their main office assigned to me. I gotta say, it's definitely worth it because of almost 100% reliability and considering the majority of posts on my ISP fb page

Centurylink parks itself in rural areas and wards off companies with faster internet from improving infrastructure, but dont worry, you can get 10mbps dsl from them for almost 100 dollars

It works out though because it'd take the full month to hit that 20GB internet cap because it's slow as frozen shit.
