Another perk of Spectrum Internet is that every plan comes with no annual contract, meaning you can cancel at anytime if you are unsatisfied with the service for any reason. There are also no early termination fees to worry about.
Another one of Spectrum Internet's most popular features is that every plan has no data caps, meaning you can be as online as you want without worrying about data overages or speed throttling.
One more inclusion worth mentioning is that Spectrum Internet comes included with security features that help keep your connection and devices safe.
Also, Spectrum Advanced WiFi comes included with Spectrum Internet Gig, but it is available to add to Internet Premier for $10/mo. This cost can be waived by bundling Internet Premier with either Spectrum Mobile, or any TV plan.
What is included with Spectrum TV?
Spectrum TV has many included features to be excited about.
To start, Spectrum offers either cable TV or live TV streaming plans. The difference is that the cable TV offerings have a higher channel count and are more of a typical cable TV product, with entertainment, news, lifestyle networks, sports, and more. On the other hand, the live TV streaming plans require Spectrum Internet and offer a mix of entertainment and lifestyle channels.
Every Spectrum TV plan includes access to Spectrum On Demand and the Spectrum TV App, allowing you to stream live on any of your compatible devices.
What is included with Spectrum Mobile?
Spectrum Mobile, a mobile phone service available exclusively for Spectrum Internet customers, has a few different plans to choose from, each offering slightly different features.
Every Spectrum Mobile plan includes unlimited talk and text. With the By the Gig plan, you pay per GB of data that you use, which makes it an ideal plan for households that don't need a lot of data.
The Spectrum Mobile Unlimited and Unlimited Plus plans both offer unlimited talk, text, and data, as well as nationwide access to hotspots and other features. Learn more about Spectrum Mobile plans here.
Can I self-install Spectrum Internet?
