Pros of Staying with Spectrum

While making the move to streaming has picked up momentum in recent years, there are still many benefits of staying with traditional cable TV. As you learn more about streaming with Spectrum, be sure to review these core benefits to ensure you’re willing to sacrifice them for streaming TV.

Limit the Load on Your Internet

Streaming TV takes bandwidth away from other devices connected to the internet; consider keeping the bundle to avoid a choppy streaming experience.

Local News and Sports

While many top streaming providers are committed to adding local sports and news programming for a greater number of subscribers, none offer the extensive reach and variety of options across all markets that cable provides.
