Best Spectrum TV and Internet Bundles

Spectrum offers a great range of streaming TV and cable deals with your internet plan. All plans include come with a Xumo Stream Box which consolidates all your favorite streaming and TV apps into one menu.

Spectrum's internet and cable TV packages have a monthly cost of $70 to $145 for 24 months. Plans range from either 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speed, and 85 to 160 channels. All Spectrum cable TV packages come with equipment, including a Spectrum remote control. 

Spectrum's streaming deals are noticeably cheaper. Spectrum's internet and streaming TV packages cost $70 to $95 per month. Internet plans come with either 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speed, and 45 to 85 live channels. 

We like how Spectrum offers a basic TV package for those who want the minimum. The cheapest Spectrum internet plan with TV is the Internet Premier + Spectrum TV Stream package for $70 per month. You'll get a good amount of download speeds, but only 85+ channels. For almost double the channel count, we recommend Internet Premier and Spectrum TV Select Signature for $125 per month. Plus, if you live in New York, you can get the best Spectrum cable 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 packages. (You’ll see which specific ones during your checkout process).

The cheapest Spectrum TV package for existing customers is TV Stream, which costs an additional $45 per month for two years. Existing Spectrum customers can upgrade or add to their service through their online account. 

While there aren't a ton of deals out there for existing. customers, you can always negotiate your bill. Call Spectrum's sales department at (833) 267-6094 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.

The best time to call is when you get closer to the end of the second year to lower your Spectrum bill. "Though it often pained me, one of the ways I knew I could save some money every month was to call Spectrum’s customer service ready to start wheeling and dealing, and leaning on my dad’s old tactics to get the deal I wanted," says Alex Zaragoza, a fellow writer at Reviews.org and Spectrum customer for six years. 

Spectrum’s standalone cable TV package includes 150+ channels, which is offered in most of its bundles. 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 500–1000Mbps download speeds.

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

If you want to save money for a winter vacation and are an occasional internet user, the 500Mbps plan can cover all your needs and more. 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.

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

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
