You're in one of the oldest cities in the US with decaying buildings and infrastructure. It's not mine boggling at all that service stops given the number of utility lines and urban density, especially if cables were retrofitted to your building.

I'm in one of the oldest cities in the UK, i.e. quite a bit older than NY. The oldness of a city is not an impediment to decent internet provision.

This is not my first apartment in New York, and I never experienced internet this bad with the other ISPs I used in past apartments. Yes, this is anecdotal evidence, but this is pretty much the same experience everyone I know has had with Spectrum. Is it really so hard to believe that they might just be a bad ISP?
