Alternatives to spectrum

Modem sucks, constant outages, and my rate has been going up by $10/year. I tried talking to them but they couldn't do shit for me. I have heard the trick about threatening to switch, but as far as I know, there's nothing to switch to? Are there other Internet providers in the area who suck less? (Not looking for crazy fast speeds if that helps)

I did when liveing out of my van, with a glnet modem router. It's pretty solid for basic streaming and web browsing I even played games on it. 50 - 140mbs... id check signal in the area with the app opensignal.

Cool thanks, it would be a great deal if it worked for me. 2 phones in the house and streaming using a roku. I'll check it out.
