I'm not sure exactly what happened but I think Spectrum bought Time Warner, at least here. I had a promotional price for 2 years for internet and cable, but once that was up the cost skyrocketed, I had to pay equipment fees and other "service" fees (which I think is a NYS tax thing). Once a year they would lose negotiations and drop channels or jack up the price to keep those channels.  Their internet speeds suck, and are way below what you pay for, I used to constantly have to reboot my modem because I'd lose connection. Once they went completely digital cable, my TV would freeze, or there'd be lag and pixelation when I was watching TV. Worst of all was when they would do system "upgrades" (which never solved anything) and at night and the cable would be unavailable for an hour or two. I called one time complain and the guy says to me well sir have you ever tried reading a book instead of watching TV? I lost it on him needless to say the least and made him prorate my bill for the month.  I've never had good service from them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
