Why choose Spectrum Internet?

Lisa Iscrupe Last updated: January 26, 2023

Spectrum is one of the three main internet service providers in New York City, along with Verizon and Optimum. Spectrum is a cable provider that covers about 64% of NYC for internet, TV, home phone and mobile services.

Things we like

  • No contracts or data caps – One of the most attractive aspects of Spectrum is that there are no data caps or contracts. This means that you will never be charged an overage fee or a cancellation fee.

  • Access to Spectrum hotspots – Spectrum allows up to 15 registered devices connect to Spectrum’s Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the country.

  • Free or cheap equipment –  Spectrum has uniquely low equipment fees compared to other providers. Some equipment is even free.

Things to consider

  • Limited internet and TV plans – Spectrum only offers three internet plans and one TV plan.

  • No cheap internet plans – If you want slower speeds to save on costs, a different provider may be a better choice.

  • Limited availability in the Bronx – Spectrum is only available in three ZIP codes in the Bronx.

Spectrum plans and pricing

Whether you’re looking for standalone internet or a package that includes all your home services in one convenient bundle, Spectrum has a plan that can meet your needs in NYC. Spectrum Internet plans in New York City have speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, and lower speeds are available if you are looking for a basic plan, such as the Spectrum Internet Ultra plan. Add on a Spectrum cable TV plan with 125+ to 200+ channels to get more value out of your entertainment package.
