How Do I Get Spectrum in My Area?

People are spending more and more time at home, and there’s no denying this trend will continue into the post-COVID era. Given how the still-evolving New Normal may come to alter our lifestyles—making us depend more and more on modern-day utilities such as the internet and TV—finding a worthy service provider becomes critical. We understand changing providers can get confusing and hectic—and somewhat unnerving too. Because you never know what may be in store.

But, with Charter Spectrum™ things are not that complicated. Here take a look at this guide on how you can become part of the Spectrum Family—and help yourself make an informed decision about a new cable subscription.

Why You Should Get Spectrum

Perhaps one of the biggest pluses that Charter Spectrum™ boasts is its widespread availability—the provider currently ranks #2 among U.S. cable service providers. Spectrum services cover over 100 million people in more than 40 states and over 9,000 ZIP codes.

Offers from Spectrum Cable spell affordable quality—you receive promised internet speeds, a contemporary cable TV experience, and FREE nationwide calling—among much more. The best part is Spectrum keeps things simple and straightforward—in how it designs its plans and does the pricing. So you don’t find yourself lost in a maze of offers—not being able to figure which one is your best fit.  

Plus, Spectrum does not bind you in a contract. Rather offers a contract buyout. Meaning if you want to switch to Spectrum, but early termination of your existing provider contract makes you hesitant, Spectrum comes to your aid—with up to $500 in contract buyout.

And, then there are other perks that make Spectrum service offers all the more value-packed!

Finding Spectrum Cable in Your Area

Charter Spectrum™ was not always this huge. But, following the merger with Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable in 2016, the provider acquired new markets and gained widespread prominence—making it one of the biggest players in the U.S. telecom industry. So, if you have had either Bright House Networks or Time Warner Cable operational in your area previously, that means you’ll find Spectrum offerings in your locality.

To confirm whether or not Spectrum cable services are available at your address, this is how you can make things simple for yourself:

• Call at 1-844-481-5997 and speak to a Spectrum Sales Support professional. They’ll be able to tell you exactly which Spectrum offers are available at your address. As well as any other details you may want to know about Spectrum plans and packages.

• And, if you would rather conduct the search yourself, use the BuyTVInternetPhone ZIP search tool. By sharing your ZIP code, you’ll enable our smart search tool to fetch available Spectrum offers in your area.

Choosing the Spectrum Cable Package Right for You

Once you’ve figured out if Spectrum is indeed available in your area, the next logical step is to start comparing Spectrum standalone plans and bundled packages.

But, before you do that we’d recommend you assess the speed, data, and entertainment needs of your household. See how many users connect to the internet at your home, and what kind of online activities do they indulge in. Evaluate if your family is modest on TV watching or likes to go big on televisual entertainment. Consider if you would like to cut your monthly cellular service cost with a VoIP home phone.

And, once you have all that chalked out, start comparing Spectrum Cable offers available at your address. Here, take a look at Spectrum single, double and triple play bundles.  

Spectrum Internet-Only Plans

Spectrum Internet is delivered via a hybrid Fiber-Coaxial network—meaning Spectrum utilizes its pre-existing coaxial cable lines in conjunction with fiber optic lines, and uses the latest in DOCSIS networking protocols. That is why the provider is able to offer high-speed cable broadband as fast as 940 Mbps. And, boasts one of the highest starting speeds available in the market.

Spectrum internet plans are divided into 3 simple tiers—Standard, Ultra, and Gig. And, in partnership with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Spectrum also offers Spectrum Internet Assist—if you fulfill the criteria as outlined by the FCC, you can qualify for a discounted high-speed internet service.

Spectrum Cable TV-Only Plans

Spectrum lets its cusotmer cusotmzie their TV experience by susbcirbing to the Spectrum TV Select Base plan, and then choosing add-ons such as Sports View. Spectrum TV Select includes a mix of local and popular TV essentials—good enough for a family not big on TV. The channels include some renowned names like CNN and Discovery, with brilliant perks and features such as the Spectrum TV app.

Spectrum Español offers a curated selection of channels in its Latino View add-on. You could subscribe to the Spectrum Select TV base plan, and opt for the Latino add-on that includes the following features:

Spectrum Double Play Packages

Spectrum offers double play packages that pair any two services offered by the cable provider—these bundled packages are particularly appealing because they offer you all that you get with standalone services and more but at discounted rates. This helps you squeeze the most out of Spectrum’s affordable quality offers. Also, getting all services under the same roof cuts out the hassle of negotiating with more than one vendor or having to pay different bills every month.

Spectrum Triple Play Packages

As with Spectrum double play bundles, when you combine internet, TV, and phone all in one bundle what you get back is the maximum value of your investment. Because Spectrum Home Phone gets added for only $9.99 which is a real bargain. The service gives you unlimited nationwide calling and to Canada, Mexico, and U.S. Territories. Which helps you cut on the usage of your cellular service when you are home and save still more.
