@NYCMayor @GetSpectrum is particularly bad about not allowing new yorkers to cancel their services. Forcing them to call or wait in store for hours on end to be able to end service. No ability to cancel on their website.

What’s up with y’all’s Internet, @Ask_Spectrum? Seriously. My Spectrum Business Internet and phones have been down since yesterday. I can’t keep a stable connection under any kind of load. My business is losing money because of this outage. If Spectrum doesn’t compensate us, I’m switching to AT&T or ???. To anyone considering Spectrum: don’t. Save your sanity and your money.

@Ask_Spectrum I discovered that my Internet has gone up $10 a month. The representative said it’s due to the cost of doing business in 2026, a 140 dollar increase a year. I have been a customer for 15 years & sadly will be switching (which includes moving my wireless service)

Dear dumb bastards @Ask_Spectrum your service sucks. And **** off. With all due respect.

@Ask_Spectrum@GetSpectrum Internet is out. Have had to use my hot spot. However, ran out of data and now getting throttled. So, your system is down and I’m getting penalized. Nice. CSR had audacity to try to upsell me to higher data cap. Totally unacceptable.

@GetSpectrum told us we were going to have an 8-10 hour down time. That was 14 hours ago. Don’t you just love this service.

Has anyone else been having issues with @Ask_Spectrum the last few weeks. The video is glitchy and the sound goes in and out several times an hour

@Ask_Spectrum Classic response from a minimum wage customer service rep who knows nothing and doesn’t care
Kudzu Wood(@KudzuWood) reported53 minutes ago
I was pleasantly surprised with @GetSpectrum while helping an elderly person get her internet set up; their support line was answered, get this, BY AN AMERICAN that spoke ENGLISH! Stunned, I tell you. My only complaint is I was on hold for far too long (24 minutes).
Lorena Luth(@LLuth72) reported55 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED NOW!
Joe Walsh(@joewalsh81) reported55 minutes ago
@GetSpectrum why can’t I add TV service to my mobile plan? I don’t need home Internet, but I do need TV service and apparently you can’t get standalone TV service on spectrum? That should be an option

What to do right now in Spelter
Check the live map above. If reports are spiking in Spelter, 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 Spelter 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 Spelter, WV footprint is part of a larger West Virginia 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 26438 for the earliest neighborhood spikes.

Spectrum not working in Spelter? Troubleshoot it in order
Separate a local Spelter Spectrum fault from a problem inside your own home.
1. No internet at all, modem online light off or blinking
Check the live Spelter 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 Spelter 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 Spelter reports confirm it is inside your home.
4. TV or cable box out, internet fine
A video-tier fault scoped to the Spelter 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 Spelter 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 Spelter typically returns shortly after grid power is back. This is usually a local plant issue, not your modem.
