      To Whom It May Concern,

      I am submitting this complaint regarding the prolonged delay and lack of transparency in Spectrum’s construction of a new tap at my residence. I was originally told the work would be completed by July 27, 2025, but it has now been pushed to August 20, totaling 74 days of delay with no clear accountability.

      Timeline of Events:
      • On June 6, Spectrum informed me construction would begin and estimated completion was July 27, including time to obtain a permit from Alabama Power.
      • On July 24, I followed up to confirm the date. A Spectrum representative assured me it would be completed by the 27th, even giving me his phone number. I have texts confirming this.
      • On July 27, no work occurred. I contacted the same rep, but received no explanation.
      • On July 28, I was told the work would be done that day, possibly in the evening. It never happened.
      • On July 29, I was informed Spectrum was still waiting on a permit and that the new estimated completion is now August 20.

      When I asked when the permit was submitted to Alabama Power, the rep said, “We’re not given that information. We only see the estimated completion date.” This suggests the permit was likely delayed or never submitted on time.

      My Concerns:
      • I’ve received conflicting timelines with no accountability.
      • Spectrum hasn’t provided consistent or transparent updates.
      • After 50+ days, they now claim they’re still waiting on a permit, which raises serious concerns.
      • I work from home and cannot rely on hotspot data to do my job effectively.

      What I’m Requesting:
      1. A clear explanation of when the permit was submitted and its current status.
      2. Expedited installation.
      3. Compensation for the delay or a temporary solution like a hotspot.
      4. Transparent, consistent communication moving forward.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope it can be resolved quickly and fairly.

      Sincerely,
      ******* ******

      A door to door salesman came by offering better prices than our current internet provider. He claimed that the 30 day trial/ money back guarantee period would not start until the device was activated. We never activated it and ended up returning the equipment unused and received a bill of service for $88. We aquired the device on May, 03 and returned the device on June, 11. We called and stated our case. They claimed it was no problem and that they would take care of the bill. Instead, they credited $40 back and sent us a bill for $48. We called to dispute this charge having never activated or used the device and they said we have to pay the $48 or they will send it to collections.

      June my payment increased $10. Then July increased another $25!!! I called and she was super rude (Pilar). She said yeah they told me it was locked in but since they cancelled the program it wasn’t anymore. No notification that program cancelled except small print on bill saying promo is ending. She said numerous times that so many people have had issues with this yet they refused to rectify it. I want a refund of the $25/month for the 2 months since I can’t cancel right away and have to pay again next month ?!? She even said they are making the font larger and in red because no one sees it. They have people going on autopay so they don’t look at their bills and then this happens (they give incentive for autopay). Yes some people look at bills monthly but I don’t. Even people that do don’t need small print that’s hiding on purpose. If a program was ending a mailer should have went out but didn’t. Again I was told I was locked in so why would I even look at my bill. If a program is no longer existing an email to mailer could have notified consumers, but nope, they wanted to collect as much money as possible before people started cancelling. Or make a note on their online account stating changes!!

I called them July 14, 2025 and talk with a Christy from ********** ***** and she is a lead person. I informed her I shouldn't be charge the $5 for each box equaling up to $15.00 more a month that I shouldn't have had to pay. I paid a total amount of $105.00 that I shouldn't had to paid and I want my account credit for the $105.00. I have record to prove that I was overcharge

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: Spectrum representative who convinced me to switch boxes informed me that after 12 months, I would no longer be charged for the boxes.  Spectrum does not want to take any responsibility that their agent did not inform me that I was responsible to call Spectrum after 12 months. This is how Spectrum manipulates their customers. I asked them to look at the order and they said they did not have it.  What company its rid of their orders after just 1 1/2 years.  I also asked them to listen to the recording between me and the Spectrum agent. They would not respond to me about that.  Their moto is that they are committed to customer first.  They need to practice what they preach, because my experience with them is that they are only concerned about their bottom line.  I will be sending a letter to their CEO and explain my experience with his company.  I am shocked that he would not reimburse me the $105 I rightly deserve.  Good companies would want to make a customer happy because in the long run, they will recoup that $105 ten fold from customer satisfaction.  If they look at my pay history, I never once was late on a payment and they could have made tons more money in the future from me.  Now I am looking to cancel them and get a company I can trust.

      June 6th, I had Spectrum internet installed at my home. Right away I noticed issues with my internet connection. I contacted Spectrum who sent a technician out several days later. The technician claimed it was installed incorrectly. She spent 4 hours at my home on a Saturday, reinstalling the internet. She left a mess of wiring that is attached to my ceiling, to be specific an entire spool of wire. The internet was still not working correctly. I then thought it was as speed issue I paid to have the speed increased, still didn't work. I contacted them to schedule an appointment, which was approximately week away. Monday 7/14/25, my internet went out completely. I spent 4 hours back and forth on the phone with them. The customer service kept telling me they were escalating it and someone would call me, nobody called. I then called them back and they said they would call me back by 9pm. At 855pm they called me and said someone else would reach out to me in the am. I waited and no phone call, so I reached out to them who then told me they couldn't come out sooner than the 7/17/25, but that they would put me on a cancellation list. I told them I worked from home and have no service for which they said they couldn't help me. I then order new internet from **** who was out at my house less than 24 hours later to install. I called to cancel and they all of sudden could send someone to my house and discount my service. I declined all of that as I had new service. Further, I explained to them why would I keep a service that for a month has not been working properly. They went on to say they were sorry, but that they couldn't reimburse me as I was 9 days past the 30-day reimbursement. This was by far the worst service and company. I just want a refund, which isn't much as I had the service for 39 days.

      I am receiving solicitation mail for someone else at my home (*** ********* ******** *****, ******* ******** ** *****). Addressee: ******** *****. Each time I receive the solicitation mail, I return it to the address on the mailer and write a note “does not live here” or “never lived here.” If there is no address, I send it to “*** ********** ********** ********* *** *****” (which according to ****** is the corporate office’s address) with the same note. I have also written the company (same address) and requested that all solicitation stop for the addressee. I still continue to receive solicitation and I want it to stop. I have lived at my home in Boiling Springs, SC for twenty years and I am the original owner. I know who has and has not lived with me. I do not know this person. I did not give my authorization or permission to send solicitation mail to MY home whether it is to “******** *****” or someone else. And, since I own the property, it is MY authorization or permission that you need to obtain FIRST. To ignore my many requests is wrong, disrespectful, poor business practices on the part of the company. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS COMPLAINT TO START SENDING SOLICITATION MAIL TO ME INSTEAD WHETHER IT IS TO MY EMAIL, PHYSICAL ADDRESS, MAILING ADDRESS, OR PHONE NUMBER. I DO NOT CONSENT TO RECEIVING ANY MARKETING FROM CHARTER SPECTRUM COMMUNICATION.

      My husband took our midem and router into spectrum because the price they are charging has increased by $20/month. He was told that if he canceled the account, which was in my name, and opened a new account in his name, we would have a better monthly deal. However, Spectrum is charging BOTH of us for the same month of service "because they don't prorate". This is theft. They are charging me for 1/2 month of service that I didn't recieve because I had returned their equipment and shut down my account. They are also charging my husband for service at the same address. This is called double dipping, and it should be illegal. No wonder everyone hates their internet provider. CORPORATE GREED.

      Yesterday, I spoke with a Spectrum agent about setting up new service for my father-in-law, who is a new resident in a nursing home in *********** **. They quoted me $105/month for the service he wanted. I was able to ok that cost with him, but when I called Spectrum today, I was told that the price would be $110/month instead. Attempts to get Spectrum to honor the quote I was given yesterday failed. I am simply seeking to arrange service at the rate I was quoted less than 24 hours ago.

      I would like to file a formal complaint against my internet service provider, Spectrum.

      I reside in ******* ********** (ZIP code *****), where Spectrum is the only internet provider available in my area. Recently, I noticed that my monthly internet bill was higher than the previous month. When I contacted Spectrum to inquire about the increase, I was told there was a $15 per month charge added for “improved service.” I did not request this service, nor did I authorize this additional charge. Despite their attempts to convince me of the benefits, I insisted that the $15 charge be removed. They agreed, and I proceeded to pay the bill.

      However, I later discovered an overdue charge of $15 on my account.

      I called Spectrum again and was informed that although the $15 charge had been removed, I was still responsible for paying for the previous month’s service. I was also told that I needed to call back within 60 days to dispute any additional charges. Upon further inquiry, I learned that I had been paying this extra fee since January 2025. When I requested a full refund for all unauthorized charges, they denied it, claiming that I failed to contact them within the 60-day window.

      I believe these are unfair and deceptive billing practices for the following reasons:

      I do not recall receiving any prior notification from Spectrum about this change.

      Even if a notice was sent, the 60-day clause was likely buried in a lengthy, legally worded document, making it easy to overlook.

      I never requested or authorized this so-called “improved service” or the $15 monthly increase.

      I am concerned that many other Spectrum customers may also be unknowingly paying this additional $15 without their explicit consent.

      Please advise me if I am entitled to a full refund of the unauthorized charges.

      Sincerely,
      **** ****

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have discussed my problem with Spectrum. 

      My point is,  I have not authorised additional services.

      Spectrums policy of not refunding the additional fees collected after 60 days is unfair.

      The clause of not to refund the money after 60 days may have been hidden somewhere in their legal documents which I have not seen.

      It is a one side action they have taken without my consent.  

      I have not signed their legal documents they are referring to increase my monthly bill by $15.

      This is a clear case of collecting additional funds without customer authoring or accepting the changes.  Further they are willing to remove this charge going forward, which means the customer has right to reject the changes.




      Sincerely,



      **** ****

      The response is not satisfactory.  I have requested the promotional service.  I have not authorised the additional billing.  The company just hiding behind the statement it printed on the back of the bill.  I wonder who reds back of the bill every time.  

      I was realy hoping BBB will take this matter seriously as several customers od Spectrum are paying the bill without knowing their rights.  Please tale some action including going to public forum.

      Charter records
      indicate on July 17, 2025, a representative spoke with *** **** regarding the

      services provided are itemized on monthly billing statements. Additionally, any
      changes to the monthly rate not initiated by a customer are disclosed in advance
      on monthly billing statements. In this case, charges for the service in

      added. For these reasons, no adjustments or other forms of compensation are
      warranted in accordance with the terms and conditions of service.

      Matter is not resolved.  Spectrums responce is not satisfactory.  As I stated they have changed my plan and have increased the monthly fee without my permission.
