I knew Cuomo wouldn’t let the eviction threat stand, and that they’d get a slap in the wrist instead.

Even if Charter offered me money to use its services i would not take it.

Spectrum is my only choice for cable broadband where I live.

It is not awesome, but a necessity. The prices are not ideal, and the service/speed are meh.

Is this what the future was supposed to be like?

Apparently, this is a completely different litigation from the eviction, which if I’m reading correctly, still stands and the terms are being negotiated.

ISP’s whole industry is fraud in the US. In PA they advertise “gigabit” speed. I’ve never had anything close.
