@jeannieturfmom @GetSpectrum We don't have a ton of options. One option is down more than it's on (and it's $100), the other we got rid of after it went out during the semi finals of Michigan's natty run (football)

Naima(@Neematessa) reported36 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum And DO NOT give me the “Please DM”. This is not something I need a technician to interrupt my day with, again. They have been here, they tested everything, they already know the node is unstable. Fix it.

@Ask_Spectrum@mercernole2021@mercernole2021 I do have to give CB credit where it's due! I thought there was a problem with upload speeds. They confirmed it and got a tech scheduled to come out tomorrow and fix it

Is Spectrum down in Howes right now?
The live console on this page shows real-time Spectrum outage reports for Howes. Green means no recent reports, amber means a handful of Howes customers are reporting problems, and red means major outage activity across the metro. Check the map and neighborhood grid below for ZIP-level detail.
What to do right now in Howes
Check the live map above. If reports are spiking in Howes, sit tight — it's likely not just your modem.
Reboot your modem only if the map is quiet near you. Unplug for 60 seconds, plug back in, and wait 2–3 minutes.
Run a speed test. Our real speed test confirms whether your connection is degraded even if it is technically online.
Report your outage below. Your report helps neighbors in Howes know it's not just them.
Document the outage. Note the start time — you'll need it to request a bill credit later.
Charter Spectrum's Howes, SD footprint is part of a larger South Dakota plant built on a mix of aerial and underground plant across the Spectrum footprint. The most frequent outage drivers here are severe weather, planned overnight node maintenance, backbone fiber cuts from construction, and utility power events that take amplifiers offline. When report volume rises across neighborhoods such as central, the live console usually lights up before Spectrum's own status tools catch every local node. Watch ZIP codes like 57748 for the earliest neighborhood spikes.

Spectrum not working in Howes? Troubleshoot it in order
Separate a local Howes Spectrum fault from a problem inside your own home.
1. No internet at all, modem online light off or blinking
Check the live Howes status first. If reports are climbing, the issue is Spectrum's plant — a reboot cannot fix it, so log a report and wait for restoration.
2. Internet is connected but nothing loads
Compare against the map: quiet map in Howes means power-cycle the modem for 60 seconds and let it re-sync for 2–3 minutes; busy map means the fault is on Spectrum's side.
3. WiFi works, but only some devices lose service
Router-side issue local to your home, not a network outage. Reboot the router only (not the modem), reconnect on the 5 GHz SSID, then re-test. Flat Howes reports confirm it is inside your home.
4. TV or cable box out, internet fine
A video-tier fault scoped to the Howes headend rather than the data plant. If TV report volume is spiking on its own, no equipment reset is needed.
5. Service drops repeatedly for a few minutes at a time
Intermittent ingress on plant is common during storms. Log each drop with timestamps from this page, then request a line technician referencing the Howes report pattern.
6. Whole street is out and utility power is also down
Grid event — Spectrum amplifiers draw power from the same feeders. Spectrum service in Howes typically returns shortly after grid power is back. This is usually a local plant issue, not your modem.
