Yep, Spectrum is a giant leap backwards.. about 10 years.

Try selling that bill of goods to any unfortunate soul having to be a customer of Spectrum.

I live 20 minutes from nearest town and Spectrum supplies cable to me. Recently raised connect speed from 50 mgb to 100 mgb, guess my experience is a little better than yours.

Granted some are predicting that 5G cellular service should result in many options, and may make this argument moot.

An article claimed that cable companies will start furnishing 10 gigabyte modems to stave off 5g incursion. In another article they claimed that 5g would be putting 22,000 satellites in orbit.

I think what we fear is ANY HUGE POWER controlling our reasonably paid access to the internet. Be that government, ISPs or platforms.

We do want real net neutrality. I’m just not savvy enough to know how to actually get it.

All friends of mine have Spectrum. I hear their horror stories and it’s consistently all bad. I’m fortunate enough to have att fiber gigabit at 1000 mb/s

Verizon wireless internet? or do you have two wired providers? Which is extremely rare.

States and cities love to grant monopoly franchises in exchange for “free” services and other goodies. Which I think is the single thing most responsible for most of the internet ills.
