The wifi and cable broke down 10 times in 24 months. They also do not prorate your bill. If your service period runs one day over in the month you pay for the extra 29-30 days - no exceptions. The villages prewires for Xfinity however a technician needs to go to the box to convert to spectrum. I’ve had both companies up north however the worst experience in my life is in Florida! Wait until you try to use your cell phone here! If you use Verizon there are 4 companies piggybacking on their hardware and it’s just awful. I’m moving and relieved I don’t have to deal with either ever again. They’re so lazy here you can’t hand in your equipment you have to go to a designated UPS store. Buy as much of your own equipment as possible. The hardware here is also older than God.
Hi when you said the cable was wired for Xfinity but the tech had to wire at the box for Spectrum. So I assuming that no new cable was run from your junction box into your house ? It is work done on the outside box? I agree both are crap The only advantage with Spectrum is if you have cable tv also and you have a home up north you can stream your Spectrum cable tv thru a app like on the Roku ( out of market) where as Xfinity you have to be in your Xfinity home network
