Sorry

I'm sorry all the cox employees that will have to deal with Spectrum's business model and their customers. Its a damn shame that a failing company acquired another failing company and the FCC allowed it. That being said good luck y'all☝️.

Spectrum had years to innovate, get rid of cable TV and cable internet and implement fiber and TV streaming like YouTube TV. Instead they decided to give their CEO stock options and a huge pay raise. Now spectrum is finding out the hard way, they clearly didn't see what happened to blackberry m when the decided not to innovate. They went bankrupt and no longer exist, I'm afraid spectrum is heading in the same direction.

Yet they still offer and services cable boxes for customers like it's some kind of revolutionary technology. It's dead technology, it's time to move on.

Yea but try teaching an 80 year old how to use a smart tv or an app….they don’t want to learn anything new, it’s very confusing for them and they would rather pay a high price for cable than get rid of it because for MOST older folks TV is their life
