Our methodology
We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.
For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 400 Mbps plan got a 4.16.
We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Should you consider bundling TV and internet?
If you like the convenience of one monthly bill including your internet and TV services, bundling is a great option. Not all providers that offer TV and internet packages will save you money by combining them, but it’s always smart to check that option as even a few dollars every month will add up to some savings.
The choice of packaging your TV and internet services is down to what you want in each service and if you can get it with a preset bundle.
Pros for bundling
-
One monthly bill
-
Same company tech support for TV and internet
-
Possibility for a discount
Cons of bundling
-
Not always an opportunity to save money
-
Term agreements may exist for some bundle options
How to find the best internet and TV bundle
When looking for the best internet and TV bundle for your household, there are a few things you should consider.
Price
Some internet providers offer savings when you bundle an internet and TV plan. This should be one of the first things you look into since saving on one or both of your services can make a huge difference for your monthly bill. Whether your provider offers bundle savings or not, there are other factors important to consider before you make a decision.
Internet speeds
When choosing an internet and TV bundle, it’s imperative you choose the right internet speed for your home. The speed you need mainly depends on two things: The number of people and devices you have in your household and the types of internet activities you or others in your home participate in. The more devices connected to your network, the more speed you will need. Certain activities also require more speed, like gaming, working from home, streaming or downloading large amounts of data.
Your internet speed will also directly impact your ability to stream TV, so if your internet and TV bundle involves a streaming option, this is another thing you must factor into your decision.
Channels
Once you have determined the right internet speed for your bundle, you can then consider the TV service. There will likely be a few TV plans available, so explore each plan’s channel counts, premium channel offers, fees, etc. If you are an avid sports fan, choose a TV package that supports that. Movie buff? Some plans may have more movie channels than others.
Cable and internet bundles
Most of the top internet providers also offer TV services. We’ve listed some TV and internet bundles from popular providers below. Xfinity is one provider that offers significant savings as you add more services to your bundle, but Optimum and AT&T offer bundles with great value.
Provider | Package | Starting price* | Download speeds up to | Channels |

Satellite TV and internet bundles
In some areas, the best internet provider may not offer TV service, or vice versa. On the other hand, you may prefer the TV service of a provider that doesn’t have internet, such as satellite TV providers DIRECTV and DISH. In either case, there are still TV and internet bundles available, though you may not be able to save by bundling.
Providers | Packages | Starting price | Download speeds up to | Channels |
---|---|---|---|---|
Frontier + DISH | High Speed Internet + America’s Top 120 | $124.98/mo.* | Varies | 190+ |
Hughesnet + DIRECTV | 15 GB + DIRECTV ENTERTAINMENT | $119.98/mo.* | 100 Mbps | 160+ |
Viasat + DISH | 25 Mbps + America’s Top 120 | $134.98/mo.* | 25 Mbps | 190+ |
Windstream + YouTube TV | 500 Mbps + YouTube TV | $112.98/mo.* | 500 Mbps | 100+ |
*Pricing per month plus taxes for length of contract. Additional fees and terms may apply. Pricing varies by location and availability. All prices subject to change at any time. May or may not be available based on service address. As of 10/04/24.
Streaming and internet packages
Cable companies may have their own live TV streaming services or devices that you can bundle with internet. You likely won’t get the same savings and special offers with traditional cable and internet bundles, but packaging your services together provides the convenience of one bill, with one company.
Internet provider | Streaming provider | Bundle price | Included in bundle | Savings |
---|---|---|---|---|
Verizon Fios | YouTube TV | $122.98/mo. | Up to 300 Mbps + YouTube TV | $0/mo. |
Frontier | YouTube TV | $102.98/mo. | Fiber 500 + YouTube TV | $15/mo. |
WOW! | YouTube TV, fuboTV, Sling TV or Philo TV | Varies | Starts at 50 Mbps + choice of streaming plan | $0/mo. |
AT&T | DIRECTV | $124.99/mo. | 300 Mbps + DIRECTV ENTERTAINMENT™ | $0/mo. |
Internet and TV bundle FAQs
Can I sign up for phone, TV and internet bundles?
Yes. With certain providers, you can bundle wireless phone plans with internet or TV packages. Traditional bundles include home phone instead of wireless; however, it may be possible if the provider offers wireless service to do a double or triple bundle with cellphone service. In some cases, you may even be able to do a quad bundle with internet, TV, home phone and wireless phone service.
Can I bundle cable and internet without a contract?
Cox, Frontier, Spectrum, AT&T internet, DIRECTV and Xfinity all offer no-contract options. However, if you choose a package without a term agreement, you may pay a higher monthly rate or you may not qualify for additional bundle features.
Can I save money by bundling TV and internet?
Not always. TV bundle discounts don’t necessarily apply to all companies because their TV packages are only available as part of a bundle. Since there is no standalone TV pricing to compare the bundled pricing to, there are no identifiable TV bundle savings.
Are cable bundles better than satellite bundles?
Satellite TV providers usually have more channels to offer you, and at a lower price than cable TV. If you’re looking for a no-contract plan, cable might be a better option.
