Fix It Yourself
Try these steps before calling. They resolve the majority of common Spectrum issues.
1
Restart from the My Spectrum app for fastest results
Open the My Spectrum app → Account → Services → Restart Equipment. This sends a remote restart command directly to your modem from Spectrum's system, which is more thorough than unplugging the power manually.
2
Ask about retention deals when bills increase
Call 1-800-892-4357 and ask to speak with the 'Retention' or 'Loyalty' department when your promotional rate expires. Spectrum frequently offers existing customers promotional rates comparable to new customer pricing to prevent cancellations.
3
Use the Spectrum TV app instead of cable boxes
Spectrum TV app is free on phones, tablets, smart TVs, Roku, and Apple TV — accessing all your included channels without a cable box rental fee. Each rental box can cost $7.50-$11/month. Switching to the app eliminates these fees.
shield Warranty & Coverage
Spectrum-provided equipment is maintained and replaced by Spectrum at no cost during active service. If your Spectrum equipment fails, bring it to a Spectrum store or call for a technician visit.
