I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

Spectrum have the monopoly on internet service in my town. I won’t be engaging with them for anything else.

The other day I got an email from spectrum

(1) change to your status

The email was an ad for their TV select service. They are scummy on every level. I had them come to fix my internet like 8 times since I get lagged out of online games hourly and sometimes every 10 minutes. I even had one say everything is fine, if I call again they'd charge me.

Absolutely can't wait till a fiber company supports my home.

I hate this company. I jumped ship to use somebody else and avoid giving them my money as soon as I had another viable option.
