Got rid of Comcast several months ago. The WORST customer service of all cable companies. Surely a joke about Comcast. Spectrum (formerly Brighthouse) no problems until now. It will be interesting to hear an explanation on what happen last evening.

Is anyone still out besides us ? 😞 We live in Hillsborough. We do have our regular boxes working.

We have Comcast with no contract. Every contact with customer service has been resolved quickly with little hold times. Spectrum was costing us $160 for cable and internet. Internet speed was laughable at an average of 5mbps during non-peak times. We couldn't watch a TV show if two recordings were in progress at the same time. Brighthouse equipment is the worse and Spectrum hasn't upgraded, yet they increased our bill another $15 per month to $175.
Do a search of Spectrum and you'll find they are being sued by multiple parties for not delivering as advertised internet speed.
We are now paying less than $100 per month (no contract) with equipment 20 years ahead of Spectrum, much faster internet speed and now we can record up to 6 programs at the same time.
5 of our neighbors have dumped Spectrum for Comcast, and for good reason.

Ours is back this morning. It was strange, the main cable box was out but the small converter box in the bedroom continued to work.

You may be the only one Rickey, but if you're happy with it that is a great thing. Good luck on continued good service.
