New address and the few internet options are all highway robbery.
@GetSpectrum wants to charge an extra $15 if you want wifi. Whut? @ATT marketing a slug-slow $50-a-month copper line. "For elderly people on email, maybe?" technician said sheepishly. Tell me your horror stories!

Ah, even worse. They want to charge $5 a month forever if you use their equipment for wifi. It's 2018. WIFI IS HOW MOST EVERYONE USES INTERNET. Just price-gouging. I did contact a rep who had nothing else to say because she realized I understood the game.https://twitter.com/Ask_Spectrum/status/1022849197773545472 …

Ask SpectrumVerified account @Ask_SpectrumReplying to @zeynepMy apologies, there is a $10 activation fee for wireless as well as a monthly cost of $5. You can avoid those costs by using your own equipment and setting up the wireless network yourself. I would also recommend contacting a representative at 855-707-... http://bit.ly/2Agnk839 replies 9 retweets 43 likesShow this thread
Replying to @zeynep
How would they enforce this? Do they not let you use your own router / configure it?
