Title: Can I cancel the spectrum and sign up again?
1Can I cancel the spectrum and sign up again?
- It pays to be open to negotiating with Spectrum.
We saw people drop their rate armed with the
information on the latest Spectrum offerings.
However, if you absolutely had it, check out our
step process to cancel or activate Spectrum
Spectrum internet outage map.
2Contact the Frequency Storage Department
- The first step in this process is to go through
the robot menu and reach the storage department.
This is the department responsible for downgrades
or cancellations. - You are Spectrum's last line of defense between
you and the door to freedom. - After the call, you will be asked to provide the
phone number associated with your account or the
full account number. You will then listen to all
of the options and choose the option to downgrade
or cancel.
3Contact the Frequency Storage Spectrum Department
- Special Note Avoid the other options in the
menu, Billing, as doing so may redirect you to an
overseas call center. If you accidentally press
the wrong number, hang up and try again. - To complete this step, you should ask the
associated Spectrum chat representative to
confirm that you have reached the retention
department. If not, you can request a "warm
forward" transfer so that your call doesn't
accidentally drop.
4Prepare a Solid Apology
- Without a failsafe apology, you can assume that
the Spectrum agent is relentlessly trying to keep
you from quitting your service. If you just say
you're moving, they'll ask what address. They
then check to see if they offer services at that
address and keep trying to sell you services or
stop you from canceling. - If they're not happy with your apology, they'll
likely call you back later in the week or month
to try to get you back. - What you need to do is find an excuse that they
are not trying to move around.
5Be firm, yet friendly
- Sometimes, even with the best apology, the agent
may be asked, as per company policy, to insist
that you stay. If so, just be kind and firm that
you cannot stay with them and that they will have
to cancel your service and account. - You should stay friendly as customer service
representatives are only as helpful as they want
to be. Make sure your agent is as helpful as
possible by staying friendly. You may have to
listen to different attempts to keep them up.
These include discounts, specials, and other
clever tactics, among others.
6Confirm your spectrum cancellation
- As mentioned above, this step is important. You
don't want to spend more than 30 minutes on the
phone to find that your service has never been
canceled and you have to call back and do it all
over again. You can also call regarding to
