How to Report a Spectrum Outage

Important: SpectrumOutageMap.org is an independent, community-powered tracker and is not affiliated with Charter Spectrum. For official support call 833-949-0036 or visit spectrum.net.

Reporting a Spectrum outage helps Spectrum see the footprint and helps neighbors confirm they’re not alone. You can report through the My Spectrum app, spectrum.net, by phone, or with a quick community report on SpectrumOutage.us.

Check live activity below first — if a major outage is already visible, Spectrum may already be working it. Reporting still documents your address and improves local visibility.

Quick prep before you report

  1. Note the time service dropped and which products failed (internet / TV / phone).
  2. Ask a neighbor on Spectrum if they’re down too.
  3. Power-cycle modem and router once (60 seconds) unless the app already shows a known outage.
  4. Have your account number or service address ready.

How to report a Spectrum outage in the My Spectrum app

  1. Switch to mobile data so the app can load while home WiFi is down.
  2. Open My Spectrum and sign in.
  3. Open Services / Support and look for Service status or Report an issue.
  4. Follow prompts for internet, TV, or phone.
  5. Enable notifications for restoration updates.
Note: The app is usually the fastest official path — no hold music, and it ties the report to your exact address.

Report on spectrum.net

  1. On mobile data, go to spectrum.net and sign in.
  2. Open Support and choose outage / service issue options for your products.
  3. Submit the report and save any confirmation or case reference.

Report a Spectrum outage by phone

Call 833-949-0036. Say you need to report a service outage, provide your address, list affected services, and ask for a ticket number plus ETA.

Add a community report on SpectrumOutage.us

Our report form posts anonymously to the live map so neighbors can see ZIP-level activity. It does not open an official Spectrum repair ticket — use the app or phone for that.

  1. Open the report outage page.
  2. Enter your ZIP, service type, and when it started.
  3. Optional note helps others (e.g., “whole street dark”).
  4. Submit — the map and today’s counters update as reports arrive.

What happens after you report

Long outages: when service returns, ask Spectrum about a courtesy credit. Keep notes on start/end times.
