Nothing I usually post but FWIW had two experiences yesterday w/customer service for two large companies & difference couldn’t have been more stark. Will spare details but bottom line: @GetSpectrum very good. @StubHub very bad. One still has my business. One does not. Carry on

@Ask_Spectrum The only way you can help me, is to stop what you’re doing to my account. You don’t seem to want to accommodate me, in any way shape or form. Your company continues to make it difficult to use the service I pay for. On time. Month after month.

When I asked @Ask_Spectrum @CharterNewsroom to help with my internet bill, they told me they were already giving me the best deal I could get. $90 / month for about 400 gb down and 20 up. Now that I decided to switch to T-Mobile fiber, they suddenly want to deal. Idiots.

@DisneyPlus@Disney I’m in Tampa with @GetSpectrum tv. They gave us the Disney channel but it’s almost unwatchable. The spinning blue circle will lock up what I’m watching. The audio will continue but the show is frozen. How do I fix this problem?
Neil Kucera(@NWKMF) reported24 minutes ago
@ATT trying to get Internet. You guys showed up for the 1st appointment without the necessary tools. Rescheduled to Wednesday. Then you no showed, straight stood me up. Now you say you can't come out until next week. Is it time to switch to @GetSpectrum or can you fix this today?
Naima(@Neematessa) reported25 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.
Cydalia Acevedo(@CydSuperCutie) reported29 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum fix your services! Two days of Will It Work or Not is ridiculous. Find the issue and fix it
Joe Walsh(@joewalsh81) reported33 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
Seffalis(@seffalis) reported34 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum nah gang - it’s a wrap. i’m tired of paying a higher price for service that is not consistent. at&t gonna be here Tuesday to set me up on their fiber internet & yall can come swoop this modem off my porch whenever yall want. they giving me the same internet for $50 less. buhbye

@GetSpectrum@GetSpectrum this is about the type of customer service I expect from this company. Y’all are undefeated in the horrible service game.
Allocution(@Allocution_TK) reported44 minutes ago
@GetSpectrum has to be the absolute worst ISP in history
🎧MJ(@IMGIFTD) reported45 minutes ago
Hey @GetSpectrum i understand things happen but having an outage everyday multiple times a day for 3 weeks is ridiculous! That’s not reliable service in the least. What really good?!? 🤨

Is Spectrum down in Urbana right now?
The live console on this page shows real-time Spectrum outage reports for Urbana. Green means no recent reports, amber means a handful of Urbana 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 Urbana
Check the live map above. If reports are spiking in Urbana, 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 Urbana 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 Urbana, OH footprint is part of a larger Ohio plant built on broad Midwest plant across Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and surrounding cities. The most frequent outage drivers here are ice storms, severe thunderstorms, and aging aerial segments in older cable markets. 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 43078 for the earliest neighborhood spikes.

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