I’ve never even had them, just went on their website and put in my address to see what’s available, and I get tons of these too. Frontier is cheaper and waaaaaay faster, so fuck Spectrum.

I had been a Verizon customer before the Frontier switch. I still had a 100/100 plan with them and they had jacked the price up to over $100 a month. Since I was an exiting customer they would not negotiate on the price. I'm with Spectrum now for $40 300/20 (meh). Might go back to Frontier when my rate ends if they are more accommodating.

This is me and Dish. Been over five years and I still get at least one a month. Post office was kind enough to notify them of my new address twice.

These are extra ignorable because there's no way you're going to end up paying the rate on the card. They are actually trash.

I'm getting fiber in the spring, and I can't wait to make spectrum my ex as well.
I live in a partially suburban partially rural area about 45 mins from the nearest mid-sized city.
Before, we had Windstream, $75/mo for cable internet that AT BEST got to ~5 megabytes per second (40 megabits per second) download speed and extremely little upload speed wireless, which always started cutting out constantly, was extremely unstable, terrible customer support, every time we complained they said our issues were caused by our router which we only had for a few months to a year and replaced it before it started doing the same thing after a few weeks or months. Near the end, video games just became unplayable and having to download even small files was a nightmare. Terrible experience overall.
We recently switched to Clearwave fiber, which is new to our area, $70/mo for 1 gigabyte download and upload speed (allegedly) presumably when wired. Wireless speed wise, the raw download speed isn't exactly impressive but it can get to 7-8 megabytes per second which is definitely better, but the upload speed is WAY better and matches or surpasses download speed. But the most important thing so far is the consistency, the connection doesn't just drop out randomly like the previous provider did, and I actually get a good connection on games.
I ordered this 30ft Cat6A cable from Monoprice for about $10 on sale on Amazon, looking forward to see how the ethernet experience is with them.
If there was a company which charged me $1 / month to send spam mail to a company I would sign up in a heart beat.
Imagine if a company got 10,000 spam letters via snail mail every month and they had to sift through each and every one to see if any contains actual pertinent information.
Sure it wouldn't be much of a hinderance to the company itself but they would probably have to pay a few people at $30-$40 thousand a year to do it.
