Reflash the unlocked phone and see the difference ... select XAA version and reflash .. you will find way better performance then Spectrum Stock Firmware on the phone.

it's been 3 rounds (s23 saga, flip5/fold5 saga, and the recent s24 saga) and they havent addressed yet, so I dont even think they care.... as in the end, they still get to report "new numbers" and revenue sales. lol

Does Spectrum prorated the month if service is cancelled in the middle of the cycle?
Seems like I will have to pay 3 months of mobile service after the 60 days is up before I can request to unlock phones.
Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you

I am having a bad luck requesting an unlock through Chat. They kept telling me that the device must be on the account at least 60 days. I thought they can unlock it even if it was off the account as long as it was activated once by the 60 days mark.

Did you put the sim back in or activated the esim before requesting unlock?
Try different agent, do online chatting, give them IMEI #

Yes I did put the phone back to my line on Apr 14 before I requested an unlock/. Bought it on Feb 10 and activated on the same day. I upgraded on Feb 20 so it was removed on my line. 4 different chat CSRs kept telling me I only activated it on Apr 14 which is when I put it back on the line.

One interesting part of the chat, one CSR told me to contact a spectrum phone number which is their fraud department. LOL.
