I have never dealt with a company as difficult as Spectrum. They are THE cable TV and internet provider in this area. Generally, I have been satisfied over the years, except for the cost. Finally, after searching YouTube, Sling, Hulu and other options, I decided to see what deal Spectrum could offer me. You can add anything you want with a click of the button online, but you cannot see options for reducing service.
it's a shame but cable companies have been this way for a while. Only way to reduce cost is to cancel completely then sign back on as a "new" customer. Without viable competition in the area we won't see any discounts. However, even with competiton you'll find yourself signing up for Spectrum for the discount, then moving to cable company B for the year or so for their new customer discount. Then those prices go up and you go back to spectrum for their "returning customer discount". So long as you don't mind relearning channel numbers and how to use different remotes it's worth it.
