23 minutes on hold, then an automated system just forced us to leave a voicemail.
They hung up once they knew we were requesting a "port out".
Interesting - I ported a number out of Spectrum 3 months ago - my mom's old number.
Spectrum VOIP? Why would your mom have a commercial business phone system?
Don't recall anyone saying anything about Spectrum VOIP, and no, she had a residential number (it is VOIP though).

On bold with Spectrum VOIP. Called in, been on hold for 11 minutes so far, no humans at all. WTF. Must be some serious issues there. Having to call them for a customer that's gone months without working phones, and they can't port out because Spectrum keeps refusing the port request.
I was dreading this same situation happening to us recently. We switched from Spectrum Business Voice to Mitel MiCloud Connect and needed to port some, but not all, of our numbers. I submitted the request to Mitel and they submitted to Spectrum when we were ready to go live. The port was scheduled for a Tuesday morning, and I got a bunch of emails shortly after the scheduled time that it was completed successfully. I was really surprised at how quickly and smoothly it went, especially with not having to call them.
Spectrium Business Voice is part of Spectrum, not related to Spectrum VOIP. Spectrum VOIP is a little local Plano, Texas VoIP vendor, no relationship to Spectrum.
My mistake - when I read Spectrum, I immediately thought of the Charter owned pile of trash that we are stuck dealing with. Based on what you've said above, this SpectrumVoIP sounds like it is just as terrible to deal with...

We've had acceptable luck with the cable company. The VoIP vendor is... painful.

Any Plummers in the house?
Got a leak, seems to be coming from that nut, as above it and around the thread seems dry. Just the top of the nut seems wet, and of course the water running down the pipe.
