      Internet goes out 15 times a day with bad lines and routers. Outdated equipment should have been replaced with cheaper fiber by now.

      When it works, it works great. However AS SOON AS I CONNECT it will cut out, over, and over, and over. I can't watch a movie, dropped connection, can't play a game I'm booted from a lobby for dropped connection, can't even use my computer because as soon as I connect it drops connection. $120/mo for something I can only use 30% of the time, what a rip off, definitely not getting what I pay for. USE ANYONE but SPARK LIGHT.

      I have called several times to reach a supervisor over my bill going up while the promotion is still active to no avail. They always say they will put in a request and I end up getting a call back the next day. I'm tired of these crooks stealing my money. **************** is absolutely worthless and they do not care that they s**** people over because there are very few options for my area

      The Litchfield IL office hides behind the customer service reps in ***** who can't do anything to help you. We have been trying to get their internet since we bought our house. They are now saying to get internet we must pay $1600 for them to fix the line under the road that the county broke when they put in a culvert. Their exact words "We will not pay to fix a line for just one customer. If you want internet then you pay to fix it." If I could give a zero star rating I would.

      We have currently lived at our address for almost over a year. The service that Cable America has provided thus far has been less than satisfactory. As the only ******** service provider in our area. They identified the problem almost 8 months ago and the problem has still not been fixed. Our internet goes out we call customer service and customer service tells us they will have a technician show to try and fix the problem. A technician will show work on the issue for about 30 minutes come tell us that the problem is still going to occur but they cant do anything about it. Then I call for their supervisor in the service department ***********************. They tell me that ***** will call me with 24 hours. ***** never calls. They continue to send technician after technician out to continue to tell me that they have identified the problem and they know how to fix but it has NOT been fixed yet and this type of service has continued for the last 8 plus months.

      I have had Sparklight before and loved them, but they have been awful this time around. Considering switching to another company. *All occurred last week 13th-17th*We have had scheduling issues both times we made appointments - first appointment I made arrangements with work so I could be present for the appointmentthey no call-no showed. Then customer support told us the customer support specialist scheduled an appointment for us on a day they shouldnt have. Next, they tried getting us escalated and told us a tech would be at our home at 8am the next day. Fast forward to that next day, we then learned it wouldn't be until around 1:45p before our tech would actually show. Since we both work out of town, and they didn't show up at 8a like we were told, we had to miss our appointment AGAIN, and then were told the next opportunity for a tech to come out wouldnt be for a few weeks. Were paying for their top package, so we felt that was unacceptable. Eventually, the escalations team sent a tech out the next day only for us to find out its a problem with our optic/line. They couldn't help with it but ASSURED us the fiber optic team would be out by 5pm that day. To absolutely no surprise, the fiber optic team did not show. Called customer support AGAIN, and was told they would escalate our case AGAIN. Weve actually been struggling with slow, sluggish internet for months but didnt know there was a bigger problem at play. So, we upgraded to a better package in hopes that would help. However, it continues to get worse and no one can seem to help us. $100(ish) a month for internet ONLY that we cant even really use is not ideal. Consider your options before letting Sparklight be your carrier.

      Terrible experience. Had a tech come check connectivity issues on 04/16. He stated it was an issue outside with the line between my house and neighbors house. He put a temporary line in and said others would come put a permanent line in that following Monday (told me I did NOT need to be home). I came home to a "sorry we missed you". I have called 3 more times since then (04/22, 04/24, 05/16). First two calls I was told, "Sorry nothing was scheduled, let me schedule that for you." I have not been contacted a single time. Last call I was told they need to send someone to come into the house again despite me explaining everything over and over on how that has already been done. Now they claim I have to be home on 05/24 and then it will be scheduled for the 3rd party to come another day where I need to be home again.... ************* I have had!

      Sparklight has been wonderful for me, the technicians are always super friendly and help explain what they are doing. **************** is always very patient and kind. I recommend spark light to all my friends and family . Looking at other reviews I cant relate, I was told it was an all day appointment, and I got text updates that they are coming and I just prepared for when they got here, I really dont pay that much a month and I have a lot of devices that I connect on a daily basis. *** never had to pay when they come to my home to fix something, my modem broke and it was my fault and they replaced it no charge.

      I bought the "Gaming" plan which is 1GB speeds. I have never seen the download speed above 700mb/s or the upload speed above 30mb/s. I know my computer is not the issue as I have a 2.5Gbe Network card. On top of that the service goes down once every 3 days for a couple hours at a time. Despite being called the "gaming" plan the lag is terrible. I'll be playing a competitive game in a local server close to my house (*****) at around 40ms to 60ms of lag, which is good. However, every couple of seconds the lag will shoot up to over 2000ms, which is 2 full seconds of me standing still on other peoples devices and them being able to shoot at me or whatever. This is genuinely unusable in most fps and racings games so I don't even know why they call it the gaming plan. Horrible internet, would give 0/5 stars if I could.
