Save a copy of the return receipt. They are notorious for claiming “unreturned” equipment weeks down the road.

I think it would and look at my response to Rizz below. Same thing I said to them I'll say to you.

Id still give it a try. There's no contract and the speeds are only gonna get better. They also stress that the modems location in your house can affect the speeds so I might not even be getting the most out of it. We double paid for a month of spectrum too as we figured it out and now just cut the link. You should also get a rebate voucher for the first month so give it a spin.

Update: equipment returned and service cancelled. This was so easy and smooth. I wanted a fight to have a story to tell but no, just an easy transaction.

I’ve also been using Central One for about two decades and agree that their service is great.

Was coming here to say the taco spot, so good!

The Taco Spot is absolutely the best tacos/burritos in the city. Casa Vallarta is where I would go if I wanted a Mexican plate like steak or fajitas.

I'm not a huge fan of the birria thing. I like the classics (carne asada/carnitas/al pastor) and Caliente fell flat on those when I tried them. Been a while though.

That’s unfortunate, I have two teenage boys who would identify as gamers (lol). Maybe they’ll get better with time.
Thanks for the info!

Pepes Taqueria is pretty good. Chips are freshly made.

Would that work with desktop computers? Have an apt with 3 other roommates and two of us have desktops

I was born in California so I have this innate yearning for the mexican flavor profile of yore I experienced as a kid. Most of the examples in this thread are fine, but they are tex-mex. Taco Cailente will have huitlacoche and nopales on the menu if they're able to get them. They'll also have good soups (hominy or tripe) on weekends. These aren't common ingredients in mexican restaurants outside the southwest/west.

I miss my Fios so much. Grew up with it in the Merrimack Valley and had it in our old apartment near Boston. T-Mobile is more than enough for us.

At most it's been three (my laptop, wife & I's phones) along with streaming on the TV via a plug-in chromecast. No problems at all.
Service itself is super easy. The device is a combo modem/router. In terms of size imagine two soda cans stacked on each other, it's a little bit wider than that. It's so easy to set up and works immediately.
The only knock I have is that if you game heavily online it may not have the bandwidth needed for you.

My wife and I just moved out of the area to Hudson and got FIOS immediately. It is SO MUCH better and cheaper too. Worcester really needs to get it together with internet. Spectrum is garbage. Glad you were able to find an alternative!

Did you try the birria taco? I've never felt they tasted like they were overly stewed. But I've always hit them in the early afternoon. They have specials like taco pirata and weekend soup options.

I was hesitant to switch but these increasing prices with Spectrum are driving me nuts.
How many devices do you normally stream? How’s the service overall?

Dude I knew from San Antonio (that's Tacoland) said Caliente was the best in the area, I trust him on that.

Not everything can be done online or at an atm. It’s good to be able to go to the bank.
You might need to withdraw a specific amount or maybe you need quarters for the laundromat.
Hell, I had EZ Pass tell me not even two days ago they couldn’t accept my debit card or a personal check, told me I would have to get a bank check.
Not an everyday situation, but nonetheless, it’s good to have a bank with available hours.

The few times I tried them I did not love the meat preparations--they tasted like they were all cooked in the AM then sat in a warming pan full of juices all day. Weren't my favorite but maybe I'll have to try again. I prefer Pepe's and El Patron for authentic tacos but wish they did their own tortillas. Haven't really found a perfect taco spot around here. I was admittedly spoiled by San Diego tacos for 6 years so I will probably never be fully satisfied.

Does t-mobile service the whole city or just certain parts? I can’t wait to tell spectrum to kick rocks..
