Best Spectrum TV and Internet Bundles

We like how Spectrum offers a basic bundle for those who want the minimum. The cheapest Spectrum bundle is the Internet + Spectrum TV Stream package for $89.98 per month. You'll get a good amount of download speeds, but only 80+ channels. For almost double the channel count, we recommend Spectrum's $114.98 per month plan. Plus, if you live in New York, you can get the best Spectrum deal with download speeds of 500Mbps. 

It’s pretty nice that Spectrum contracts aren’t a thing, but remember that your monthly pricing will increase after two years of service on select bundles. (You’ll see which specific ones during your checkout process).

We recommend calling its sales department at +1-833-267-6094 as you get closer to the end of the second year to negotiate a better price. Let them know you’re considering canceling your bundle because your bill will be too high, and you’ll likely be directed to a representative who can grant you a deal.

Yes! If you're already a Spectrum customer, you shouldn't be paying separately for your cable TV and internet service. Save some bucks every month and get your TV and internet service on the same bill.

If you're an existing customer looking for a deal, our advice is to negotiate your bill. Call Spectrum's sales department and let them know you’re considering leaving their service due to the monthly price. If everything goes well, they can offer you a slight discount.

Spectrum’s standalone cable TV package includes 150+ channels, which most of its bundles offer. Only if you bundle do you get the option for 45–125+ channels—which saves money for those who are casual channel jumpers.

We recommend checking out Spectrum’s full channel lineup on their site to see which channels are available in your area.

You could get channels in your lineup such as the following:

Although Spectrum bundles vary in every location it's offered, you'll at least have the option to order 300–1000Mbps download speeds.

These download speeds are great for families who stream, use smart home devices, scroll on social media, and work from home.

If you want to save money for a winter vacation and are an occasional internet user, 30–100Mbps will be sufficient. If you find that it isn’t, you can just call Spectrum to upgrade your plan.

As for Spectrum’s internet speed performance, it ranked as one of the top cable internet providers we analyzed in our fastest ISPs report.

So Spectrum is excellent for giving you the internet speeds it promises. And its bundles come with unlimited data and no contract. Plus, the ISP throws in a free modem for your internet service. (Most ISPs charge $10 to $20 monthly for a modem rental.)

Yes, you can use your own router with Spectrum Internet, but only Spectrum-provided equipment is supported by customer support. In other words, if you're having internet problems and using a non-Spectrum router, customer service won't help you out.

With Spectrum, you get fair pricing for each bundle. If the download speeds and channel count are on the lower end, you get a cheap bundle price, and vice versa.

And honestly, we like the channel lineups and the download speeds Spectrum promises. (Take a look at how they compare to Xfinity, Cox, and Optimum.)

You get local and popular channels with every bundle, like BBC America, Hallmark Channel, and Investigation Discovery. And if you’re in an area that gets Spectrum’s 500Mbps download speeds, you’ll find you don’t have to break the bank for speedy internet.

Spectrum’s standalone cable TV package includes 150+ channels, which most of its bundles offer. Only if you bundle do you get the option for 4065+ channels—which saves money for those who are casual channel jumpers.

We recommend checking out Spectrum’s full channel lineup on their site to see which channels are available in your area.

But you could get channels in your lineup such as the following:

Spectrum offers speeds perfect for households of one to more than four people.

Get 30Mbps if you’re a single bachelor who streams movies or scrolls Facebook occasionally. If you have a roommate, we suggest ordering the 100 Mbps at minimum so you don’t have to worry about slow TV and smartphone screens.

Speeds reaching 300Mbps will support two to four people, a home office, gaming, video streaming, and several connected devices.

Grab those faster speeds of 500Mbps if you’ve got five or more people using your internet or if anyone’s running a home business. Check out our internet speed guide for more recommendations.

• 1–2 people: 40–100Mbps
• 2–4 people: 75–300Mbps
• 4+ people: 500+Mbps

To get another idea of how much speed you should order, here’s a small guide:

• Working/studying from home with video calls: 100+Mbps
• Using home security cameras: 100+Mbps
• Streaming 4K video: 75+Mbps
• Gaming: 40+Mbps for most games
