What is Spectrum Internet Ultra?

Spectrum Internet Ultra is Spectrum’s mid-level plan available in nearly all Spectrum service areas, offering a significant speed upgrade from their standard internet plan, Spectrum Internet.

Spectrum Internet Ultra speeds – up to 400 Mbps*

Spectrum Internet Ultra has max advertised download speeds of 400 Mbps with upload speeds of 20 Mbps. In select locations, 300 Mbps* will be the max available download speed, but most Spectrum serviceable areas will have access to the 400 Mbps* speed tier.

Spectrum Internet Ultra availability

As one of the three largest internet providers in the country, you can get the Spectrum Internet Ultra plan in many cities and suburbs. Spectrum has the most coverage in the Northeast, Midwest and South regions, but you can also find it in some West Coast cities like Portland and Los Angeles.

How is Spectrum Internet Ultra different than other Spectrum plans?

Spectrum has three plans, and Internet Ultra falls right in the middle. You’ll get faster speeds than its cheapest plan, but still significantly less than its Gig plan. No matter which plan you choose, you’ll get unlimited data and your price will go up in year two.

With no data caps and no contracts, Spectrum is an attractive option. Its low equipment and installation fees put it at the forefront as a solid ISP choice.

Equipment: Spectrum charges $5/mo. for router rental and the modem is free. Keep in mind most providers charge around $10-15/mo. for that equipment. You also have the option of purchasing your own Spectrum-compatible modem and router.
Installation: Spectrum charges a one-time $19.99 Self-Installation Activation Fee on its internet plans. If professional installation is available, you’ll pay a $49.99 fee for it.

Spectrum plan	Download speed*	Upload speed*	Starting price	Price after 12 mos.
Internet	200 Mbps	10 Mbps	$49.99/mo.	$74.99/mo.
Internet Ultra	400 Mbps	20 Mbps	$69.99/mo.	$94.99/mo.
Internet Gig	1,000 Mbps	35 Mbps	$89.99/mo.	$114.99/mo.

Spectrum Internet Ultra gives you more speed for the money

Cost per Mbps is a good indicator of an internet plan’s value. To get cost per Mbps of an internet plan, divide the monthly cost by the max advertised download or upload speeds. For example, the Spectrum Internet Ultra speed is 400 Mbps and starts $69.99. When you divide the price, $69.99, by the speeds, 400 Mbps, you get an estimated cost per Mbps of $0.17.

Plan	Starting price	Download speeds up to	Upload speeds up to	Estimated cost per Mbps (Download speeds)	Estimated cost per Mbps (Upload speeds)
Spectrum Internet	$49.99/mo.	200 Mbps*	10 Mbps*	$0.25	$4.99
Spectrum Internet Ultra	$69.99/mo.	400 Mbps*	20 Mbps*	$0.17	$3.49
Spectrum Internet Gig	$89.99/mo.	1,000 Mbps*	35 Mbps*	$0.09	$2.57

*Wireless speeds may vary.

Expert tip: Consider the cost per Mbps

Generally, the lower the cost per Mbps, the better the deal. With Spectrum Internet Ultra, you get a lower cost per Mbps than with the standard Spectrum Internet plan.
