In Saco, went out around 915 and is still out. Happened during last week's storm as well. We haven't last power at all though. Why does this always seem to happen with Spectrum?

My final straw with Spectrum broke when the Internet blew out in the house and they refused to fix it despite other people on the street having the same issue.

If you have fiber in your area, get it and get it now. We've only had one single outage since we got it and it was only for a few minutes. Pure bliss.

I've "pre-ordered" Fidium but am still waiting for service to go live. Who is your fiber provider?

Also our internet is still out.

GoNetSpeed. We were looking at Fidium but found nothing positive on the Internet about it after some Googling and price comparisons, so we went with GoNetSpeed instead.

Great customer service, guy came within a couple weeks to set everything up. I, for one, regret us not getting fiber sooner. Much faster speeds than Spectrum for a much better price.

I'd suggest calling Spectrum and see what they can do about your Internet being out. They also have an outage thing on their website, I think, where you can report an outage. Do you have power or is that gone along with the Internet?

We haven't lost power at all through the storms. Last week Spectrum went down for an hour (around midnight) so I figured I'd see if it would fix itself before calling today.

Also going to check out GoNetSpeed today. Thanks!

Edit: looked into GoNetSpeed, they're available in the Saco/Biddeford area except on my street, of course 🤦🏻‍♂️ signed up for notifications. Thanks for the info though!

Oof, you must live on a hell of an unlucky Saco street lol. Glad I could help though! I'm not sure if there are any other fiber providers other than Fidium and GoNetSpeed, but if there are, I'd say check them out and see if your street gets lucky.

I bet it's because the street is relatively new (turned public just a few years ago). I'll call and see. Fingers crossed.
