This petition was created by the students in halls at Northumbria university who have their internet access provided by spectrum interactive. Spectrum has never delivered the fast reliable service we were promised and with the connection being down for days at a time and the students having to use their own phones to call the customer support line at their own cost! It makes us wonder what are we paying for If we get enough signatures hopefully we can get the university to change to a more reliable isp.
I have spent my evenings collecting stories from every hall and the patterns of failure are identical. The university continues to ignore my emails but they cannot ignore the growing stack of complaints we are building together.
May 15, 2009
Seeing this momentum grow proves that I am not the only one struggling to finish coursework while tethered to a failing connection. This outpouring of frustration shows the university that our patience with these constant blackouts has completely run out.

The wifi is constantly cutting out during my lectures. Paying this much money for zero connection is a joke.

Absolute rubbish service. Had to use all my data just to finish an assignment because the internet decided to die again for the third time this week.
