		<description>April 8 2020 shortage 
My box showing I am connected but my TV is not working. No picture no sound. 
The morning of the outage I had a picture and sound. Now black screen.
When I first call the gentleman states nothing wrong,  I am connected. I did tell him my problem but he stated a technician would have to check everything. It could be my box or wire..   When will the stores be open?  This is my main TV.  I do pay my bill on time but still have my main box and TV not working. Thank you.</description>

		<description>It is very very slow. For awhile now. Before Coronavirus I’ve had trouble doing school work and now everything is online and not classroom, faster working WiFi is needed even more. Hopefully it can be fixed soon. Stay safe everyone.</description>

Then spectrum came in and one of my cable boxes went out took to local office to get new one and automatically was no longer grandfathered brighthouse customer to spectrum without anyone telling me this would happen!! Get home have no landline had husband w terminal DISEASE and was told I could not get back that same number! Had 6 techs same day 1 spent 2 hours on phone doing everything possible to get it back and everybody from the office on 97 to 10 different corporate personnel passed the buck and finally next few days was told by still then bright house tech that spectrum had it set up if u turned in any equipment that automatically converted you to them w no notice and a yearly contract and sure enough 2 year later get letter rate going up 50$ my contract up for renewal that I never layed eyes on!

		<description>I understand things happen but in my opinion Spectrum sucks. They raise prices all the time and some people have no choice due to no other providers in their area.</description>

		<description>Wow!!  All these complaints about bill increases, outages, slow speeds, etc...  As a employee of a telecommunications company it pains me to see very little concern for the technicians(front line essential employees) that must still come out to your homes during this pandemic.</description>

		<description>I work for Spectrum in an internet and voice repair call center and I would like to say that we are all doing the best we can to keep things moving. Due to the sudden spike in call volume, we have an unusually high hold times. The automated system is put in place to be sure you&#039;re sent to the correct department the first time, as there are millions of customers. You wouldn&#039;t want to just press 0 for a representative and wait for 30+ minutes to find that you now have to be transferred to the correct department and wait another 30+ minutes once you&#039;re in the right queue. We also have policies in place to help of you cannot make payments so please let the billing team know if you&#039;re experiencing hardship. We truly do care about all customers. 
Please, everyone must remember that we are human too. We get sick or we have family members who get sick and need care. We are still going to work everyday and the technicians are still out on the field doing everything to keep Americans connected. I sincerely feel for anyone who has trouble with their service since we know how inconvenient that is, especially in times likes these. We have a support site as well with hundreds of articles and videos that can provide you with some self-help options to troubleshoot at your own leisure.  
I wish everyone the best of health. The light is at the end of the tunnel...we just have to deal with a bit if darkness until then, but we will make it through!</description>
