two years ago when they were having a carriage dispute with Disney at the start of college football season. Huh. (Last year Disney tried to rip off DirecTV and this year it's YouTube TV.) I switched to YTTV and saved $70/mo for same channels. Then when Google Fiber came into my development I switched to it for much faster download and upload speeds and saved $20/mo.
Spectrum sends me weekly offers in the mail. They must be spending a fortune advertising to customers who will never return. I know I won't.
