Just found out the apartment I’m moving into only offers Spectrum. I’ve been lucky in the past that my UWS building had Verizon Fios, and before that I had RCN when I lived out of state. Any info people can offer about Spectrum re: service, what type of modem you use, etc? Honestly, preparing for the worst.

I moved from fios to spectrum last fall and I haven’t had too many issues tbh. Fios is definitely better, but I’ve only lost connection 1-2 times.
We have 400 mbps with two people on video calls most of the day with no issues.

I’ve had spectrum as well in UES and have only had an outage maybe once or twice in 3 years. I’m about to move to a place with RCN though - would you recommend that?

I had RCN in Boston and Chicago - it was pretty good. I think I only had one actual outage, but I remember one summer I had a lot of issues with it for some reason, but generally it was fine. Their customer service was incredible. I’d take it over Spectrum.

My previous building only had spectrum and it was down for <30 mins maybe 2x within my 15 month lease term. Not that bad

Recently graduated and am looking for full time roles.

I understand I'm a new grad and all, but is this a low-ball offer?

My previous landlord is requiring me to get a form notarized stating I no longer live in my previous unit and that I have moved out. They won’t give me my security deposit unless it’s notarized despite me being moved out of the unit completely, and my keys have already been surrendered. The lease doesn’t state this form is required. Anyone else experience this before?
