There is no monopoly. Spectrum is the only one who made the investment to be here (with FIOS from Verizon coming).

EDIT: Come on guys, do a little research. Its all on the interwebs. The agreement with Spectrum/Charter is publicly available - its on the first page, the agreement is non-exclusive.

I've always had very quick and responsive support. I don't like the price, but they're pretty reliable when you have issues. I've heard Spectrum is transitioning to 500mbps up and down soon, probably in response to FIOS availability and 5G home service.

I live near Elm Park. I’m not sure if it’s because of the monopoly or what, but Spectrum is pricier than what my peers pay for internet, for slower speeds.

I hear FiOS is coming, though, and I’d love to try it!

Aren't crab legs about $80/lb from a seafood market right now?

No hate here--my first time @ Nola Cajun I literally--LITERALLY--did the Happy Dance in my chair out on the patio.

spectrum is pretty okay. you can reset your internet automatically through their app if you're having issues that are not caused by your router or modem (happened to me once or twice)

FWIW, I’ve been in worcester for almost 10 years and I’ve have nothing but positive experiences with spectrum.

I am aware however that my experience is not the norm.

Verizon offers a $50 monthly 5G service (with the autopay discount) that is really good. You order the service and they ship you a little cube that you plug in and that gives you really good Wi-Fi. It's not available everywhere in the city, but it's definitely the better and cheaper option where it is. It's different from FIOS.
