Spectrum Internet At-A-Glance
Although Spectrum Internet is a fairly new company, that doesn’t mean it lacks experience: it was created in 2014 by Charter Communications. The company then purchased and merged with Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, with all three now under the Spectrum name.
Spectrum Internet has a nationwide presence with customers in 42 states. It provides cable internet service to residential customers; a subsidiary, Spectrum Enterprise, offers a fiber connection for businesses.
Spectrum's internet plans are competitively priced, and customers wishing to bundle their telecommunications needs will find plans that also include phone and TV services.
Spectrum covers 32.22% of the U.S. with home cable service and 0.02% with home fiber service.
Spectrum Internet
Spectrum Internet offers three internet-only plans — although not all plans are available in your location. Check your ZIP code to see your choices.
The Spectrum Internet basic plan offers 200 Mbps, Spectrum Internet Ultra offers up to 400 Mbps and Spectrum Gigabit provides 940 Mbps. Even the basic plan is enough for casual internet users with multiple members in their households. If you’re looking for highly reliable speeds for extensive use and gaming, the Spectrum Gigabit plan rivals fiber speeds to give you a heightened internet experience.
Additional features for Spectrum internet packages include:
- No contracts
- No data caps
- Plans starting at $49.99/mo.
