Ryan was excellent at customer service helping us get the internet TV and phone service set up for my new place. Conner even helped out in answering any questions! Definitely went above and beyond to take care of us. Took awhile but I will definitely only work with Ryan.

Ive gone to this new location a couple of times. I honestly dont care for it. Mostly because every time Ive gone there, the people working there havent been the most friendly or helpful. The setup itself is fine.

Stopped in for help with my mobile account. I walked in and there were 2 employees sitting at their stations. The one guy was helping a customer the other guy was sitting there looking so enthusiastic to be at work. I didn’t hear him say he could help me when I first walked in so I was looking at the check in spot. He again said, “I can help you over here, HELLO” and waved about with such excitement to have to help a customer. He had no personality. No welcoming tone. Wanted to do the least amount of work possible. Also, what’s the point in offering mobile service when you can’t even get anything taken care of in the store, you just get a number to call. Not every one has all the time in the world to sit on the phone and wait forever to talk to someone.

Absolutely ridiculous. Even with a self-serve kiosk if all you want to do is pay your bill and leave, the wait is always 45 minutes or more because apparently you still need an associate to hold your hand while you do it and harass you with endless service upgrades. My Wi-Fi is already overpriced.... No, I dont want to add cable TV and a phone line! Terrible.

Door to door salesman comes beating on our door at twenty thirty hours 830pm I mean beat on it asking if Im ready to switch. I showed him the proper procedure when approaching a prospective customers door at anytime and sent him on his way. No thanks Spectrum and I mean never!

Horrendous. I placed an order online for new internet and modem. My money was taken and order placed. I set up an appointment for pick-up. Drove 30 minutes to the store to be told they dont have any. Dont have any!? Lololol. So youll take my order and money and then tell me once I arrive you dont have any? What a joke. If you werent my only option I would NOT use spectrum. That, my friends is why monopolies are a thing. They can do whatever they want and the consumer gets screwed.

This company along with its parent company laid off my uncle one year before he was to retire after the company was bought. He worked for the lacross branch of spectrum for more than 20 years. Additionally the wait time was absolutely ridiculous! They are overpriced the hidden fees can pay for a house note in Mexico. Terrible rates, terrible management. NO ETHICS. Use any other company than spectrum. OR YOU WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE REVIEW AS BAD OR WORSE THAN THE ONE YOUR READING NOW.

Good luck cancelling your service. I waited on hold for over an hour before I even got to talk to anyone. The Spectrum website says you have to call to cancel your service. It does not specify that you have to call to cancel the same day or twenty-four hours prior to the day you want to cancel. So I get to call back in two weeks and likely wait another hour to get through to someone to cancel my over-priced internet. Greaaaaat.

So wish I would have read these reviews. Service is horrible. Customer service is worse. Promised IN WRITING what my price and intall dates would be. Ended up with much higher pricing (almost $50/month higher!) and waited WEEKS to have tv and inet installed. Never did get my business phone number working so I had to remote call forward it to my cell phone through Centurylink AND pay the additional RCF fee. They are very dishonest and are very unapologetic about it.

Review №17

The absolute worst place to get wifi. We were given a order confirmation and a estimated delivery date only to find out, someone couldn’t do their job and not only didn’t send out our order but charged us almost $150 is fees. We drove to their store after a confirmation to pick up in stores to find out they are not open. And you can’t call the store directly because apparently they need a phone tree to direct calls because no one knows how to answer a phone and questions.

Review №24

Dont choose Charter SpectrumThey will lie to you and tell you they offer services when in reality they dont in your area. They also are not competent enough to fix or resolve issues. Then the hold times are ridiculous! The repair tech supervisor says he can fix the problem with a tech responding in 3 days. Once you ask a simple question as to how they plan to fix the same problem since start of service. He has zero clue. Lmmfao dont choose spectrum. The service they will provide will be alot of extra phone calls and headaches

Joan was a vibrant and beautiful human being. Her soul shone bright as a star as she went over my non contractual agreement. Her smile lit up my world as she handed me my router. I wish to place her photograph above my router, and will pray for her families well being. Thank you, Joan, for what you do in this lifetime. You have forever changed my life. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Fast, reliable internet at home in Holmen. Stopped in to ask about their mobile plans and the young woman at the desk was super helpful and knowledgeable.I do think their customer area could use some interior design work though. The outside of the building is also not super obvious that its also for customers to stop in. Its a dual use space for their trucks and offices, but also a small customer service area. They didnt have any phones to demo either, everything is done online. Theres room for improvement for their customer relations here.

I been with these people for years . I pay my bill on time . I think its wrong when you have to call them all the time and fight for your channels. Then when you get the channel . Then two months later we are at it again because the channel is gone . Then they want more money to give the channel back. I ask the lady on the phone and I said if I pay the money now to get the channel back will I have to pay more money again because they will take the channel again. Its not right what they do. I pay over 180 a month for this service . This is sad that they pull this with customers.... I think I will be looking for different people. Then when I ask about something I get the same answer. From 2 different people. Its time for this company stop playing with customers .

For the money, Charter has the fastest speed internet in our area. In over 5 years, Ive only had one service outage. I use my own router and switches, but Charters modem. Customer service can be lacking, but the product is better than competitors.

My modem stopped working and they told me to exchange it at the Onalaska, WI Spectrum. I drive over and they tell me they don’t have any modems available (never heard of such a thing). So I call up Spectrum’s 800 number and they tell me to drive to Winona, MN and exchange it there. I arrived 40 minutes later and they tell me they don’t have modems either. How does a company the size of Spectrum not have any new modems in stock? I don’t know, but I’m canceling my service at the end of the month and never using their lousy service ever again!

I have zero issues with the service. But when you stick with a business for years and they want to raise your rate $20 a month from what they offer a new customer off the street and you call to ask why you get thisI apologize for the inconvenience. This is the best rate that we do currently have right now for the internet only pricing plan.this coming from you customer who pays her bill on-time and you cannot do anything but charge me $240 more a year. That is terrible customer service!

Ive been with these guys going on 6 months now and Ive constantly had intermittent internet issues since day one and every time I call or have had some one out hereto help me, which I have called them a few dozen times and Ive had several people out to my home and still nothing is resolved. Im beginning to believe they dont care about theyre customers and say what every they have to to keep you as one even if they have to lie to you.

I cancelled my internet because I had a technician at my home 3 times. It wasn’t working. They have no idea what they are doing and are rude. The last customer service rep I spoke with was so unprofessional. They must hire anyone. Now my bill is wrong and have to do deal with that. Then after canceling they had a door to door sales rep knock on my door and he was unprofessional. I was sleeping and he kept knocking even tried the door knob. Never get them! Do yourself a favor and go thru another carrier or use the cafe down the street for at least the Internet. Not worth the stress.

Review №52

Visited this location twice in 1 day about 3 months ago, was extremely busy, The young guy/teen, dressed up as a manager, but had the experience of a 8 year old. Kept trying to up charge me for services i didnt need, and all i wanted to do is trade in the 7 year old modem for a newer model, and rent the wifi router. both werent the latest models, but its still newer, and what they had on hand. went home set them up, things were working ok. Realized I was charged like a 10$ wifi setup/ install fee, and 40$ for a professional install fee that I was never told about, went back there same day, ended up having to pay the 10$ wifi fee, and then was told i would get credited the 40$ for the next billing cycle, ( its like yeah because everyone just has money up front for charges that shouldnt have been on there to begin with because he hit the wrong buttons on his screen when upgrading my account ) , the other thing that was really upsetting, is the last 3 months... my internet service kept going out ( not so much direct connection ) , but definitely the wifi. spent at least over 30 hours trying to figure things out over the last 3 months, today finally found out the teen/guy at charter building, gave me the lowest Quality Cat5 Belkin cable possible, and it was severely used, wire was pinched/twisted near the end, and instead of 5 wires connected to the pins at the end, there was only 3 which was weird. so ended up going to the nearest dollar store, and got a 99 cent cable, that fixed my problem.You would think that if they made a mistake on there end with billing, they would fix it, and also have some type of inspecting tool to check there Equipment and cables, before handing them out to customers, and not have used mostly unsupported cables just laying around ect.On top of that, the main reason for their slow services, is because they keept trying to upcharge people.

Get rid of your cable...This companys customer service is bar NONE. If you enjoy waiting on the phone for 30+ minutes and not have anything resolved, by all means, stay with this company.

Review №61

When I first had service connected about two years ago it was great. However, over the last four or five months I have had multiple upon multiple occasions where my if my router gets reset for whatever reason ( the electricity goes out, I need to move the router and unplug it) it literally takes up to 22 hours for my internet to work again. Im not exaggerating with time either. I remember the first time it happened; where I had to unplug the device due to rearranging my furniture. I unplug it near 2 p.m. and I did not have internet until the next morning. I specifically remember this because I had a paper due at midnight. This has continued to happen, and has happened 3 times this week. As I write this review I am currently experiencing the 4th time. Super frustrating, and I am hoping it will be fixed after I speak with someone.

We started out at $54/month and now pay $89/month. They keep raising the rate which includes poor service. It took them 7 scheduled installation times, over a period of two months, before they finally got their act together on my initial install and each time I had to be present before they would begin; but no apology for the enormous inconvenience.

Review №66

Charter told me that it was my new router that was the problem why was having some problems with internet so i got one of theirs. Then this company told me that my Microwave could cause me to loose my internet... I have not put my router that is rented from Charter in or by the Microwave. Its not in the same room and the best part of this situation is that my computers are hard lined to the modem. This is not possible. I have had them out multiple times and they have thrown parts at the problem like replacing the modem and router that they put in just a few weeks ago for new ones about 5 times. The tech supervisor asked us to text him when the internet was having problems and the would take days to get back to us, The tech super also set appointments for service and then when the time for the tech would come and go we would call and the answer that we got was that the Tech was busy. We didnt set the times Charters Tech Supervisor did. When the second time happened that the tech did a no show we called back and he was busy again. They suggested that we increase our plan to a business line so that would have a dedicated line and fix the problems. This did not fix the problem, with many other visits and problem still happening that its now our fault and that we are doing something to max out our allotted amount of internet. And due to I work with computers that I should figure it out. I have one more person to talk to about this on Monday the 29th and then will see if I still have Charter but will see. They also said that we have become a nuisance and if they have to send a tech back out that we would now be charged. I will see ware the call goes on Monday but I have lost all Faith with the Charter tech support Supervisor. this is part of my nightmare and I would not recommend Charter to anybody.

Review №71

Like having cable WiFi and a home phone. I just hate the slow service from my WiFi. I dislike when they start working on cable in the late/early morning hours. If something is wrong with cable and you call them you have to go through a voice automated system to try to get it working numerous time before you get a real person. If that dont work then they have to send a tech out which costs extra. It can be the next day or like 3 weeks. Then most of the time it is during the morning. You have to confirm your appointment when the voice automated system calls. If you dont answer the call and confirm the tech doesnt come. It is a mess. The cable sometimes does mess up with its guide because most of the time you get the big guide but sometimes it will tell you error with the guide and give you a small one where you can only see like 2 channels where the big one has like 5 or 6 channels to see. The big guide always covers the whole screen where the small one is in the middle of the screen and you can barely see it. You can pay the cable over the phone, online, or in the office. And without any warning they can up your cable even though they tell you that your price will be a certain amount fire a year. You can get auto pay too.

Our bill is being raised every 3-4 months and not just by a couple dollars. Im paying $85/month for basic internet. It started out at $54/month then jumped to $73 and now its $85! When I called to ask them what is going on they told me in order to lower it Id have to put it in someone elses name. And this is after they tried to get me to bundle after I told them no several times. Looking for a different provider. Ive been with charter for years and have had nothing but problems. My internet also cuts out alot and I have to restart modem at least once a month. Thats all they ever tell us to do.

Terrible company to work with. I am only able get to the service I want if I cancel service for 30 days or pay double the amount posted on their own website. No one in their customer service department was empowered to get me taken care of. Clearly as an existing customer for many years i am worth a lot less than a new customer. Thanks for giving us thousands of dollars a year for many years, but i am sorry, you suck and cant have the rate we have on our site. I see why telecom companies are losing their client base to netflix and hulu.

Update: Beware when using autopay with Charter! Last month they charged my account twice and it was only corrected when I saw that it had been taken out of my bank account twice, and I called Charter. Now they just tried to charge me an almost $20 late fee for last month, from 3 days after my payment was made. Ive never been late on a payment. They said theyd remove it from my account, after first claiming they didnt see the late fee. I wonder what extra charges will show up on my account in February!I have used Charter Internet in both Eau Claire, WI and La Crosse, WI and it has been terrible in both cities. They say that their internet speeds start at 100Mbps, but when I took their speed test, I got a download speed of 10.5Mbps and an upload speed of 3.67Mbps. And not only that, but my Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting from my devices. When I called to ask why they lie about their internet speeds and why my devices keep getting disconnected, they tried giving me the runaround and blaming it on my router. However, I know it isnt my router because not only have I used different routers and still had this problem, but I currently have the best rated router available. And customer service is always rude when you deal with them. Im switching as soon as possible.

Why when you are trying to contact your local office of Carter, it takes forever to get through all the computer generator lists, and talk to someone who breathes oxygen. We went to get out conversion boxes and they sent three home with no power cords. We live over 30 minutes away one way, and it means we will have to drive there again, for no reason due to us. This company has a strangle hold on cable services and WE pay for them, and cannot get even half assed service. We now have no cable and now no TV. which we are paying for. Please return to HUMAN service techs, ditch the computer generated prompts, and actually help US that pay the bills!!!! I am beyond frustrated!!!! PS why dont local offices take local calls?????
