- Spectrum recently announced simplified plans for its home internet service, as well as better bundles that include Spectrum Mobile coverage. All home internet plans will now start at 500Mbps, with a 1Gbps upgrade option in select markets.
- If you have two lines of Spectrum Mobile ($40 per line) you can get 500Mbps home internet for just $30 a month, or $40 for one gig.
Charter Communications-owned Spectrum has had a tough time since the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program, as many of its customers were previously enrolled in subsidized plans. This has led to numerous complaints about confusing price structures and sudden increases, which has unsurprisingly caused many customers to jump ship. In a move to simplify its plans and attract both new and returning customers, Spectrum announced several big changes to its service, including better pricing for its mobile bundle.
Let’s start with the core plan changes. Spectrum introduced a new Internet Premier plan with speeds of up to 500 Mbps for just $50 a month while discontinuing many of its older, slower plans. Spectrum’s Gig plan remains priced at around $70 in most markets but now includes free Wi-Fi service. Previously, customers had to bring their own Wi-Fi router or pay $10 per month to rent one. Spectrum is also offering a free year of Spectrum Mobile service with both plans.
