Additional fees to consider
You will notice that your monthly cable bill will be a bit larger than the quoted monthly service price. That’s mainly due to fees that most ISPs charge:
- Broadcast TV Service Charge: Federal law allows U.S. broadcast TV stations to negotiate with ISPs in order to obtain consent to carry their broadcast signals, like hosting a regional sports network.
- Equipment fees — There are fees attached to your receiver, remote, DVR services and CableCARD.
- Setup and installation fees — Spectrum does charge a fee for professional installation.
