Commute to Boston where jobs pay more

They live somewhere cheaper (like Uxbridge or Fitchburg) and commute.

Roommates are the only real answer unless you can afford like 1600-2000 in rent.

You can find a 3-4 bedroom for like 2000. It wont be fantastic but you can get rent for around 600 with 3-4 roommates. in most of the city.

However I just left my last place because I rented a room to an insane person so... just stay safe.

I’ve never spent more than 10 minutes in these places

A barrel to bend you over....

This, if you can get to it, millbury is the option.

I however won’t be visiting again since I’ve move out of Massachusetts

This is misguided policy and will harm police officers and citizens alike. We need mental hospitals not bifurcated policy that increases lawlessness by obscuring policing.

Haha I walked into that place like two weeks ago, no organization, no one knows who’s next and the people behind the counter work slower than a sloth. All to just return some equipment.

After 20 minutes I just said fuck it and realized there was one in millbury. Was in and out in 9 minutes

I think I’m in the minority here, but the store in Millbury is way less busy. I’ve gone twice in the past couple months to swap out and return a cable box. First time- I made an appt and the store was empty (it was a weekend afternoon). Second time was Monday, about half an hour before they closed. No appointment- no wait. It was complicated because to return the cable box required a whole new plan, but that’s a separate issue.

TLDR- check out the Millbury location if your closest store has ridiculous wait time.

“The Walmart application also follows the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission increasing Worcester's license allotment last year due to population growth.”

Why will it be a disaster?

Putnam has a nice new municipal building and library. Two people I worked with lived there: one moved even closer to Hartford, the other works in Providence now. So that's a bonus: decent commute to PVD too.

But you get what you pay for, it's always been cheap. Still would take NE CT over Webster

My wife and I moved across town in July. We called in June to transfer our service, we were told that our account would stay the same and we just needed to move our equipment to the new apartment.

Everything worked fine for 3 weeks, until one morning we woke up and the service was off. I called and spoke to multiple people. The last of which got an earful from me when they told me they don't transfer accounts, that our account was DELETED and that the equipment was OUTDATED and needed to be REPLACED. The same equipment that was working and providing internet less than 24 hours before and they couldn't just turn it back on, because "that wasn't a thing".

There were no techs in the area, so we were without internet for more than a day. After another set of infuriating calls were finally told that if went to the Spectrum store we could get the equipment.

Then we waited 2-4 hours for basically the same set up at this location. We were told it wouldn't work without a tech, but we figured it out and it works fine. The tech that eventually came to our home spewed some nonsense about cable length and connections at the wall source (???), like I was some idiot, and they were surprised to see the internet working fine.

Absolute sham of a company. I wish we had a choice in our apartment complex.

As if every interaction with WPD right now isn't a disaster? Shut the fuck up.

Here's a similar thread from a month ago with a decent discussion.

Not sure why 'young professional' is treated as a curse word around here.

I didn't have a problem making an appt online and getting seen... my issue is when I switched my shit modem for a working one, they gave me another shit modem that drops net every twenty minutes.

Absolutely need to make an appointment online ahead of time for Spectrum. It’s the only way to get any help when you want it. I was there for 2 hours setting up a cell plan, with an appointment, and watched so many people with 5 minute problems waiting THE WHOLE TIME I was there.

Ya let’s make it even more of a shit show over there

They told me I had to wait to return my items, I set them down and walked away. I haven’t gotten a call/ letter/ email about it so someone helped me out at the end of the day. I appreciate them lol

Except…the 2022 ballot measure wasn’t approved, it failed

I'd rather waste my time in Ollie's next door thx

They were doing the same to me, until my internet actually began to act up. Turns out an animal had partially chewed through the wire going to my house. Also they upgraded my speed but my modem was too old to handle it, so I got a new one during their visit to fix the wire.

This nightclub located under the counter in the back of a busy Spectrum dump has everything…

They’ve been texting me for months about having to do maintenance at my house to solve a problem.

my internet is working, no way am I going to deal with them until I have to.

I haven’t stepped foot in one in forever
