Spectrum Internet plans and pricing
Spectrum's pitch is simplicity: no contract, no data cap, a modem included, and one price for twelve months. The prices below are Spectrum's current advertised online rates for new residential customers — and every one of them is explicitly a twelve-month rate, which is the part worth planning around.
Prices last verified: October 1, 2026. Promotional prices were checked against Spectrum's current Internet and local-market pages; standard rates were checked against Spectrum's Residential Broadband Services and Pricing disclosure, revised September 16, 2026.

2 Gig and 7 Gig are not the same kind of availability
Spectrum 2 Gig reaches select upgraded markets and can use fiber or upgraded hybrid fiber-coaxial infrastructure. Spectrum 7 Gig is a much narrower 100% fiber offer with symmetrical speeds in eligible build areas. A city-level claim is not enough: we confirm the exact street address before recommending either tier. Read our Spectrum 7 Gig guide or call for an address check.
Prices shown are Spectrum's current advertised online rates for new residential customers with no Spectrum service in the past 30 days, and are explicitly twelve-month promotional rates — standard rates apply after the promotional period or after a service change. Prices exclude taxes and an activation fee. Gig speeds require a compatible modem. Advanced WiFi is included with Internet Gig and Invincible WiFi with Internet 2 Gig; 2 Gig is available in select markets and 7 Gig is limited to eligible 100% fiber addresses. Advertised speeds are maximums for a wired connection; actual throughput, especially over Wi-Fi, varies and is not guaranteed. Availability, tiers and promotions are set by Spectrum, vary by address and can change. We confirm what actually applies at your address before you order.

The Part That Gets Skipped
What Spectrum actually costs in year two
Spectrum is unusually clean on the things that trip people up elsewhere — no contract, no data cap, no equipment rental, no early termination fee. It is not clean on this one.
Every internet price Spectrum advertises carries the words "for 1 year". In its own offer terms: "Standard rates apply after promo period or service change." Spectrum publishes its standard rates in its broadband disclosure — $50, $85, $105 and $125 for Internet 100, 500, Gig and 2 Gig — which puts the step-up at $20 to $45 a month, and month 13 is when it lands.
That is not a criticism of Spectrum so much as a fact about how to compare it. A $30 plan that becomes $50 or more is still competitive — but only if you knew that going in.
The genuinely new thing: a two-year price guarantee
Spectrum now sells bundles with a two-year price guarantee rather than a twelve-month promotion — currently 500 Mbps with two Mobile lines at $90/mo. for two years (down from $110), and TV + Internet + Mobile at $130/mo. for two years (down from $150). If the year-two step-up is what worries you, this is the honest answer to it, and it is the offer most people ordering through a web form never see.
Reading It Straight
Three things worth knowing before you compare
Internet Gig quietly includes $10/mo. of WiFi
Advanced WiFi costs $10/mo. on the 100 and 500 Mbps tiers but is included with Internet Gig. So the real gap between Premier at $40 and Gig at $60 is $10 a month, not $20 — assuming you would have added Advanced WiFi anyway. On 2 Gig the same logic applies with Invincible WiFi at $30/mo.
The free mobile year is one line, not the account
"Spectrum Mobile free for a year" applies to the first line only, delivered as up to twelve months of bill credits, and devices are not included. It is a real saving — Spectrum values it at $480 — but a family porting four lines is getting one of them free, not four.
The $1,000 savings guarantee has conditions
It requires Internet Advantage or higher plus at least two paid Unlimited Mobile lines, and you must submit competitor bills within 60 days to qualify. It is a first-year comparison against what you were paying elsewhere — not a cash payment, and not automatic. We will tell you whether your situation actually clears the bar.

Spectrum publishes national retail rates in its broadband disclosure; this calculator uses the listed retail rate for the selected tier. Your actual bill can still differ because of eligibility, legacy plans, bundles, account changes and local taxes or fees.
Calculator figures use Spectrum's published rates: internet at the advertised twelve-month promotional price, Advanced WiFi $10/mo. (included with Internet Gig), Invincible WiFi $30/mo. (included with Internet 2 Gig), Spectrum Mobile Unlimited at $30/mo. per line with the first line free for twelve months, and current TV package pricing. Month-13 internet figures use Spectrum's published national retail rates effective September 16, 2026. TV pricing and post-promotional treatment can vary by package and address; treat the calculator as a planning tool, not a quote. Taxes and activation fees are excluded. Call us for the exact numbers attached to your address.
Plan Selection
Which Spectrum speed do I actually need?
Most households buy more download speed than they use — on a cable network, upload is what actually constrains you, and no tier fixes that entirely. The right pick comes down to how many people are online at once.
For the full breakdown by household size, streaming habits and what each tier's included WiFi is really worth, see our guide to Spectrum Internet Plans: Speeds, Pricing & Which Tier Fits Your Home. The 2 Gig question specifically is covered in is Spectrum's 2 Gig plan worth it.
Honest Answer
Is Spectrum fiber? Here is Spectrum's own answer
Spectrum markets "Fiber-Powered Internet", which sounds like fiber to the home and is not. To Spectrum's credit, they now spell it out on their own site rather than leaving it to the small print:
"Fiber-Powered Internet uses an advanced hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) infrastructure, which includes fiber for the vast majority of the network pathway before transitioning to coaxial to connect to the premises." — spectrum.com
Every page of their site carries the line "Spectrum Internet is powered by fiber and connected to the premises by coaxial lines." That is an accurate description of HFC, and it is more forthcoming than most cable operators manage.
What it means for you is the last stretch. Fiber runs to a neighbourhood node; coaxial cable covers the final distance to your house. Download speeds are genuinely fast and Spectrum's reliability record is strong. Upload is where the difference shows — a cable plan delivers a fraction of its download speed upstream, where a fiber plan delivers the same in both directions.
Speed & Technology
Download, upload and latency
Download is the number everyone advertises and the one that matters least past about 300 Mbps. It governs streaming and page loads, both of which plateau early.
Upload is the number that separates networks, and it is the honest weak point of any cable plan including Spectrum's. If you upload large files, run multi-person video calls all day, or stream to an audience, this is the thing to weigh against a fiber provider at your address — and it is the single most useful reason to have someone check what else reaches you.
Latency is the delay before data starts moving, and it is what gamers and remote workers notice. Spectrum's HFC network holds up well for gaming in practice; it is not the weakness that upload is. Real figures vary by address, by node congestion and by time of day, and we do not publish a number for your home because we cannot know it in advance.
Spectrum: hybrid fiber-coaxial
Fiber network→Neighborhood node→Coaxial cable→Your home
A fiber plan: fiber to the home
Fiber network→Fiber all the way→Your home
The last stretch is where upload differs: a cable plan delivers a fraction of its download speed upstream, where a fiber plan delivers the same in both directions.
Spectrum Mobile
Spectrum Mobile — the strongest part of the offer
Spectrum Mobile is available only to Spectrum Internet customers and requires Auto Pay. It runs as an MVNO on a nationwide 5G network with access to Spectrum's WiFi hotspots, and on price it is one of the more competitive per-line options in the market.
| Plan | Per additional line | High-speed data | Hotspot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited | $30/mo. | 30 GB, then speeds may slow at busy times | 5 GB |
| Unlimited Plus | $40/mo. | 50 GB, then speeds may slow at busy times | 10 GB |
| Unlimited Plus Premium | $50/mo. | Premium tier with the largest allowances | 50 GB |
Free for a full year
Spectrum Mobile is free for twelve months with Spectrum Internet — first line only, delivered as up to twelve months of bill credits. Devices are not included, and smartwatches and tablets do not qualify.
No contracts, no added taxes
Unlimited talk, text and data with no contract and no added taxes or hidden fees. An activation fee applies, and Spectrum Internet plus Auto Pay are required to keep the service.
Switching help
Spectrum currently offers up to $2,500 toward the remaining balance on phones you are leaving behind, and Unlimited Plus includes international coverage in 215+ countries.
The detail that decides it
Spectrum Mobile only exists alongside Spectrum Internet — cancel the internet and the mobile goes with it. That is fine if you are settled, and a real consideration if you move often or expect to switch providers. The $30 line is genuinely cheap; just price it knowing it is tied to the internet account, and remember the free year covers one line rather than the household.
Full numbers are in our guides to Spectrum Mobile plans, pricing and coverage, whether the Mobile bundle is worth adding, and Spectrum One explained.
Spectrum TV packages
Spectrum TV now leans on streaming apps included at no extra cost and needs no cable box. Package pricing below is Spectrum's current advertised rate, and like internet it runs for twelve months.
| Package | Live channels | Price, 12 months | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Plan Latino | 170+ | $75/mo. | Spanish and English channels including ESPN Deportes, FOX Deportes, Estrella TV |
| TV Select Signature | 150+ | $100/mo. | The base lineup, with top streaming apps included |
| TV Select Plus | 160+ | $110/mo. | Regional Sports Networks and the Tennis Channel |
| TV Platinum | 230+ | $145/mo. | Ad-free streaming apps, premium channels, Sports View, Entertainment+ |
Sports View — $10/mo.
NFL Network, NBA TV and similar. Cheaper than jumping a whole tier if sports is the only reason you were considering it.
Entertainment+ — $25/mo.
70+ channels plus HBO Max and Paramount+ with Showtime. Included in TV Platinum.
Premium channels — from $5/mo.
Added individually. Worth pricing against Platinum before assuming the bigger package is better value.
TV promotional pricing runs for twelve months, after which standard rates apply, and excludes taxes, fees and any equipment. Channel counts, lineups and package availability vary by market. Streaming apps included with a package are subject to Spectrum's own terms and can change. Confirm the lineup for your address before ordering — a channel you care about is a better basis for choosing than a channel count.

Spectrum contract buyout: up to $500 for eligible early-termination fees
Spectrum's residential Contract Buyout Program can reimburse up to $500 of a previous provider's early-termination fee when you install and maintain qualifying Internet with TV and/or Voice services through the redemption process.
What qualifies
Comparable qualifying residential services, an active account in good standing and an itemized final bill that clearly shows the early-termination fee.
What does not
Taxes, ordinary final-service charges, equipment-return fees, streaming subscriptions and wireless services are not covered by the residential ETF program.
Do not confuse the offers
The separate Spectrum Mobile Phone Balance Buyout can cover up to $500 per transferred line, up to five lines and $2,500 total, under different eligibility rules.
Eligibility, documentation and timing rules apply. The residential Contract Buyout is a reimbursement of eligible early-termination fees, not an automatic account credit and not a discount on Spectrum service. Confirm the current requirements before cancelling your existing provider.
Equipment, Fees & Contracts
What you pay beyond the plan price
The modem is free. The WiFi is not.
Every Spectrum Internet plan includes the modem at no cost — genuinely free, not "free for 12 months". What is not included on the cheaper tiers is the WiFi: Advanced WiFi is $10/mo. and Invincible WiFi has a $30/mo. standard add-on rate on Internet 100/500, is currently $20/mo. with Internet Gig or when bundled, and is included with Internet 2 Gig. Advanced WiFi is included with Internet Gig. Budget for one of them unless you are supplying your own router.
Activation and installation
An activation fee applies and is not in the advertised price. Self-install is the cheaper path; professional installation costs more, commonly around $65, with self-install and activation charges typically in the $10–$30 range depending on market and promotion. Self-install is straightforward for most homes — our self-install walkthrough covers it.
Data caps and contracts
Spectrum has no data caps, no overage charges and no annual contract, on internet or mobile. Service is month-to-month and cancelling carries no early termination fee. This is the part of the offer that is genuinely as simple as advertised.
Returning equipment
The most common avoidable charge on a Spectrum account is an unreturned-equipment fee after cancelling. Keep the receipt from whichever return method you use — our equipment return guide exists because this catches people every month.
What actually changes your bill
Two things, in order: the twelve-month promotional rate ending, and adding services mid-term. Spectrum does not layer on the surcharges some competitors do, but a service change can also reset your promotional pricing — worth asking before you upgrade rather than after.
Low-income options
Spectrum Internet Assist offers reduced-price service to households that qualify through specific assistance programmes. It is not advertised prominently and it is not the same as a promotional rate. Details are in our Spectrum Internet Assist guide, and we will check eligibility if you ask.
How Spectrum compares
Spectrum's strengths are coverage, simplicity and mobile pricing. Its weaknesses are upload speed and the year-two step-up. Whether that trade works depends entirely on who else reaches your address — every row below is address-dependent.
| Spectrum | AT&T Fiber | Optimum | Xfinity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Network type | Hybrid fiber-coaxial, fiber to the node | Fiber to the premises | Fiber in some areas, HFC elsewhere | Primarily HFC cable, some fiber |
| Upload speeds | Asymmetric — well below download | Symmetrical at every tier | Symmetrical on fiber tiers | Asymmetric on most tiers |
| Top speed | 7 Gig on extremely limited 100% fiber addresses; 2 Gig in select markets | 5 GIG | 8 Gig | 2 GIG |
| Data caps | None | None | None | Caps apply in some markets |
| Annual contract | None | None | None | Varies by plan |
| Equipment | Modem free; WiFi $10–$30/mo. | Gateway and extenders included | Gateway free 12 months, then up to $5 | Gateway fee typically applies |
| Price guarantee | 12 months, or 2 years on select bundles | Promo ends month 13, AutoPay credit continues | 5-year price lock at 300 Mbps and above | Promotional rate then standard rate |
| Mobile | From $30/line, free first line for a year | Bundled backup included on fiber | From $30/line, surcharge if unbundled | Bundled discounts vary |
| Availability | Very broad, address by address | 28 states, fiber build areas only | 21 states, address by address | Broad, address by address |
Every column above varies by address, by market and by current promotion, and competitor terms change frequently. Network type cannot be determined from a ZIP code — two homes on the same street can be served by different technologies from the same provider. Competitor details are summarised from each provider's published materials. Treat this as a framework for the conversation rather than a quote.
We have run Spectrum head to head across the site: AT&T vs Spectrum, Optimum vs Spectrum, and Internet Air vs Spectrum. For the wider picture see best internet providers in the USA and our full provider comparison.
Straight Talk
Is Spectrum the right call for you?
We are compensated when you order, and we would still rather you order the right thing. Here is the honest split — the same one we would give you on the phone.
Spectrum is a strong choice when…
- No fiber provider reaches your address — Spectrum's coverage is one of the broadest in the country
- You want simple terms: no contract, no data cap, no equipment rental, no early termination fee
- You have mobile lines to move — $30 a line with the first free for a year is genuinely competitive
- You want internet and a full TV lineup on one bill
- You will take the two-year price guarantee bundle rather than the twelve-month promo
- You mostly download — streaming, browsing, gaming — rather than upload
Look elsewhere when…
- Fiber is available at your address and you upload heavily or work from home all day
- You will not renegotiate in month 13 and want a rate that simply holds
- You need symmetrical speeds for creative work, backups or streaming out
- You move often — the mobile line dies with the internet account
- You are optimising for the lowest possible two-year total and a fiber promo beats it
- The WiFi add-on pushes the real monthly cost past a better local option

How It Works
How we check availability
You give us the address
Not the ZIP — the street address. Serviceability, which tiers you qualify for and which promotion applies are all decided at the address level.

Spectrum first, then everyone else with a footprint there. If a fiber provider reaches you and your usage points that way, we say so.
We quote the real number
Year one, the month-13 estimate, activation, WiFi, mobile lines and TV if you want it. A real person, not a script.
We place the order and stay reachable
You get Spectrum’s available plans, eligibility and pricing, with no markup from us. You keep one point of contact through installation and after.
Why order Spectrum through an authorized retailer covers this in more detail.

Spectrum questions we get asked most
Pricing, bills and terms
How much is Spectrum Internet a month?
Spectrum's current advertised online rates are $30/mo. for Internet 100, $40/mo. for Internet 500, $60/mo. for Internet 1 Gig, $80/mo. for Internet 2 Gig in select markets and $140/mo. for Internet 7 Gig on extremely limited 100% fiber addresses. Every one of those is a twelve-month rate, after which standard rates apply, and all exclude taxes and an activation fee.
What happens to my bill after 12 months?
The promotional rate ends and Spectrum's standard rate applies. Spectrum publishes its standard rates in its broadband disclosure: $50 for Internet 100, $85 for 500 Mbps, $105 for Gig and $125 for 2 Gig, a step-up of $20 to $45 a month. We will tell you the specific number attached to your offer before you order — and if the step-up is the concern, ask about the two-year price guarantee bundles instead.
Does Spectrum have a price guarantee?
On standard internet plans, no — the advertised price runs twelve months. Spectrum does now sell bundles with a two-year price guarantee, currently 500 Mbps with two Mobile lines at $90/mo. and TV + Internet + Mobile at $130/mo. If you want a rate that holds, that is the route.
Does Spectrum have data caps?
No. There are no data caps and no overage charges on any Spectrum residential internet plan.
Is there a contract with Spectrum?
No. Spectrum internet and mobile are month-to-month with no annual contract and no early termination fee.
Network, WiFi and setup
Is Spectrum fiber or cable?
Cable — specifically hybrid fiber-coaxial. Spectrum's own site puts it plainly: "Fiber-Powered Internet uses an advanced hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) infrastructure, which includes fiber for the vast majority of the network pathway before transitioning to coaxial to connect to the premises." Fiber runs to a neighbourhood node and coaxial covers the last stretch to your house. Download speeds are fast; upload is where it differs from true fiber.
What are Spectrum's upload speeds?
Well below the download speed, as on any cable network — the exact figure varies by tier and market. If you upload large files, run multi-person video calls all day or stream to an audience, this is the number to weigh against a fiber provider at your address, and it is the main reason to have someone check what else reaches you.
Is the modem free? What about WiFi?
The modem is included free with every plan, permanently. WiFi is separate: Advanced WiFi is $10/mo. and Invincible WiFi is $30/mo. Advanced WiFi is included with Internet Gig and Invincible WiFi with Internet 2 Gig, which is why the real gap between the 500 Mbps and Gig tiers is closer to $10 a month than $20.
What is Invincible WiFi?
Spectrum's top WiFi tier at $30/mo., included with Internet 2 Gig. It adds everything in Advanced WiFi plus automatic 5G backup if the cable connection drops and an 8-hour backup battery. For a household that works from home, the backup is the part worth paying for.
How much is Spectrum installation?
An activation fee applies on every order and is not in the advertised price. Self-install is the cheaper route, with self-install and activation charges commonly in the $10 to $30 range; professional installation costs more, typically around $65. Exact charges vary by market and promotion, so confirm before ordering.
Is Spectrum good for gaming?
Yes, in practice. Latency on Spectrum's HFC network holds up well for gaming, and 500 Mbps is more than enough throughput. The weakness of cable is upload rather than ping, so competitive gaming is fine — streaming your gameplay out at high bitrate is where you would feel the difference against fiber.
Mobile and TV
How much is Spectrum Mobile?
$30/mo. per additional line on Unlimited, $40/mo. on Unlimited Plus and $50/mo. on Unlimited Plus Premium, with unlimited talk, text and data and no added taxes. Spectrum Mobile is free for a full year with Spectrum Internet — first line only, as up to twelve months of bill credits.
Can I get Spectrum Mobile without Spectrum Internet?
No. Spectrum Mobile requires an active Spectrum Internet account plus Auto Pay, and the mobile service ends if the internet account does. That matters if you move often or expect to switch providers.
Does Spectrum Mobile slow down my data?
After 30 GB of cellular data on Unlimited, or 50 GB on Unlimited Plus, speeds may slow during times of high demand. Hotspot allowances are 5 GB, 10 GB and 50 GB across the three plans respectively, with speeds reduced after that.
What is the $1,000 savings guarantee?
A first-year savings comparison against what you were paying elsewhere, not a cash payment. It requires Internet Advantage or higher plus at least two paid Unlimited Mobile lines, and you must submit competitor bills within 60 days to qualify. Existing internet customers must switch at least two lines. We will tell you honestly whether your situation clears the bar.
Which Spectrum TV package should I pick?
Start from the channels you actually watch rather than the count. TV Select Signature is $100/mo. for 150+ channels, Select Plus $110/mo. adds Regional Sports and the Tennis Channel, and Platinum is $145/mo. for 230+ with premium channels and ad-free apps included. If sports is the only reason to move up a tier, the $10/mo. Sports View add-on is usually cheaper.
Do I need a cable box for Spectrum TV?
No. Current Spectrum TV packages need no cable box and include top streaming apps at no extra cost, with the Spectrum TV app available on Xumo, Roku and Apple TV.
Availability, ordering and who we are
Is Spectrum available in my area?
Spectrum serves 41 states and is one of the broadest footprints in the country, but availability is determined address by address. Call (469) 960-3311 and we will check your exact address while you are on the line.
What does the Charter-Cox merger mean for me?
For existing Spectrum customers, nothing changes on your bill or your service today. The detail is in our merger explainer, which we keep current as the deal progresses.
Why is there no availability form on this page?
Because a ZIP-code form cannot answer the question honestly. Serviceability, which tiers you qualify for and which promotion applies are confirmed at the street-address level against the provider's own systems. A form that says "available in your area" based on a ZIP is telling you something it does not know.
Does ordering through Telemedia Solutions cost more?
No. You order Spectrum’s available plans and promotional offers at your address, with no markup from us. We are compensated by the provider on completed orders, and that never changes what you pay.
Are you part of Spectrum?
No. Telemedia Solutions is an independent authorized retailer for multiple U.S. providers including Spectrum, AT&T, Optimum, Frontier, EarthLink and DIRECTV. Spectrum owns the network, delivers the service, sets the pricing and handles billing, installation and support.
Who do I call if something goes wrong after installation?
Spectrum handles billing, technical support and service calls, since they own the network. You can also come back to us — we stay reachable after the order and will help point you to the right team.
Does Spectrum offer 7 Gig Internet?
Yes, but only at extremely limited eligible addresses on Spectrum's 100% fiber network. The current advertised rate is $140/mo. for 12 months and Spectrum's published standard rate is $185/mo. Invincible WiFi is included. Availability must be checked at the street-address level.
Will Spectrum pay my old provider's cancellation fee?
Spectrum's residential Contract Buyout Program can reimburse up to $500 of an eligible early-termination fee when you install and maintain qualifying Internet with TV and/or Voice services, submit the required form and provide an itemized final bill. Taxes, equipment fees, normal final charges, streaming subscriptions and wireless services are excluded.
How do I know the numbers on this page are current?
Every figure here is checked against Spectrum's own published materials before it goes live, and anything that varies by address is labelled as such rather than quoted as fact. You can read how we research internet and TV providers, our editorial standards, and why consumers trust Telemedia Solutions.

- Spectrum owns the network and delivers the service. We arrange the order; they provide what you buy.

- We are compensated by providers on completed orders. This never changes the price you pay, and it is why we can afford to tell you when a different provider suits your address better.
