TDGB TOTD: Why does Charter/Spectrum internet suck so bad?

Went out on me around 5:30ish yesterday afternoon. Happens at least once a month or every other month. even when the weather if fine. any one know what causes this? I couldn't play anything online yesterday. I wake up this morning and it's magically fixed.

Are you in an apartment or house? I have them and haven't really had any issues. Did you call them when it went out?

okay, i tried to come up with some witty response to that, but i can't so i reply with a normal answer.
where i'm at, cox isn't an option. it's either spectrum or att. and att stops about a block away from my house. so technically, i can only get spectrum.

i did, and the automated phone person said it was out in my area. it asked if i wanted them to call me when it's back online. i said yes so i can give them an ear full later.
eta: i'm in a house.

It is possible they were running new lines. I know in my area they have been doing that a ton, though the time of day makes that less likely.
I'd monitor it with the speed test website and if you start seeing a pattern of when your speeds and everything drop off, you'll have a record of it and can use that when you talk to them. I did that a while back when we were having some trouble with packet loss and jitter on our lines due to a person in our complex completely overloading the area. They came out around those times and monitored and fixed something, and it has been fine ever since.

You don't think an actual person is going to call, do you?

It's because you hate the X Files intro.

I really hate that I haven't played PUBG in like 3 months....
Just found out the parent company of where I work is putting together eSport teams for a handful of games. Sign-up is today. Looks like it's a charity league of different corporations.
Screw it I might tell them I'll be an alternate if they just need a warm body.
I've been playing the shite out of some H1Z1 on PS4 and I'm sure that doesn't exactly translate very well
