OT: C Spire Fiber

[TrueMaroonGrind]

C Spire is running fiber in our neighborhood. How does it compare to Comcast?

If it is decent I would like to give my money to a MS company.

I have it and have never had a problem with it going on a year of service. If you have a wireless plan with them they knock $10 off a month

Last I had Comcast, it was cable. I got around 70 or 80 mgbs on wireless. On Cspire, I get about 350 to 400 on wireless. Much faster and I’ve never had an interruption with Cspire.

From a speed perspective, you can really do anything you need with Comcast. But I pay the same price for Cspire and support a local company. You’ll enjoy Cspire.

Have had it for almost 3 yrs now. We stay connected to a smart TV, a roku, 2 iPad, 2 cell phones, and a laptop. Never had a single issue.

I've had it about 2 months (swapped from Comcast). I only use it for internet, but it's cheaper ($80) and much faster than Comcast. I would recommend it over comcast to anyone.

My experience. Faster and cheaper than Comcast but less reliable/consistent.

Don’t walk, run away as fast as you can from Comcast. You’ll realize how much better fiber is immediately when you’re not dealing with being throttled, or constant outages.

I've had Cspire for 2 years and I love it. Got their Cspire TV package to begin, but switched to Youtube TV which I think is a better deal.

My folks just switched from Comcast to Cspire and they regret not switching a long time ago.

I must be one of the very few that have 0 problems with comcast. And they are cheaper than Cspire. I am paying $165/month for 3 services (home security/internet/tv). I have 225 Mbps down, DVR, 2 boxes, a cable modem, sports package, etc.

If Cspire had home security, I would probably switch to them though. I like bundled services.

 

[PineGroveBully]

That’s pretty cheap for the amount of tvs you own.

 

[aTotal360]

Same. I'm doing TV/internet with Comcast. No problems at all. I think I pay $135/month.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Internet is good. No issues.

The cable tv is ****. It's just an app that runs on a fire stick through the wireless, so no crisp HDHP quality. And fire sticks don't last, despite being kinda pricy.

I’ve had a really good experience with Comcast, but I only do internet. I’ve been with them since I left college. Hardly any outages and their customer service has been decent.

I went from Comcast coax to Cspire fiber. Cspire is much faster, more reliable and around $75ish/month. The Cspire TV app was expensive for what we got, so we dumped that part. You can connect many devices. We have a Deco tree tower mesh system that cost around $150 and covers about 3500 sq ft

I have had it for about 9 months. Enjoy it very much. I like the Wi Fi and fire stick. I can move my TV anywhere in the house.

i love the internet. I upgraded wireless routers when I swapped from Comcast to CSpire and have touched 800mb/s both download and upload before.

I have a different experience with the TV too. I’m running it on a Apple TV 4K wired directly to the router sitting in my entertainment center and the definition was noticeably better than Direct Tv from the start.

 

[dickiedawg]

Fire sticks are pricey compared to what?

 

[ronpolk]

I didn’t have any issues with Comcast either. I had a good experience. I just think Cspire is a better product. But all we have is internet. I have YouTube tv.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

I had good experience with Comcast minus some poor speed throughout whole home even with Leah system. Customer service was good but it wasn’t cheap. Internet was like 70 but we also had tv so it was around 180 for a bunch of tv we didn’t watch since we steam so much. Also I work a lot from home too so I wanted the faster fiber internet for moving data back and forth. So far pretty good. We got Hulu live instead along with Netflix Disney Plus and Peacock and that’s fraction of the cost. We were paying Comcast for much more. I was only getting maybe 75 at best mbps now it’s 800s upload 900 download. I would recommend it. Only issue is I had some issue getting my mesh system connect and I have to reboot it more now than I did with Comcast. But the speeds are way better.
I will say if Comcast gets fiber in my neighborhood I’ll probably go back with them just because cancelation was about the easiest thing I’ve canceled. They didn’t keep me on the line for 30 minutes trying to sell me stuff I don’t want.

How do you only have 2 boxes for 20 TV's?***
