No Netflix, no streaming with @GetSpectrum internet outage. No problem! Good reminder you can watch us for free over the air via antenna. They’re cheap and can come in handy. Crisp, clean HD signal from the WCSH transmitter on Winn Mountain. pic.twitter.com/AaiPQEx0Ak

Spectrum went down in Maine about 5:30 pm taking the Portland City Council Zoom meeting with it.

Finding little info other than they hope to be back up by 10 pm. The east coast conversation may be light tonight here.

I stopped service with them two years ago, after a few months they offered 30 mbs for $16.99 a month.

I live alone now, and that is plenty of speed at a good price.

A “nationwide Spectrum outage.”

If it is nationwide, then I think it would extend beyond Mainers. What about North Dakotans? Ohioans? Mississipians? Floridians? New Mexicans? Washingtonians?

It appears that the author (or headline writer) isn't clear on the meaning of "nationwide."

Comcast gets a bad rap, but they really are the premier company for cable and internet.

That is the center of my world. New York to Bangor Maine. What else is there. Do people really live outside that bubble?

This is all sarcasm. Don’t take me literally.
