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.
Stability & Reliability
As Internet providers struggle to keep up with increased demand during peak hours, or during a highly watched event, streaming connections can become choppy.
Spectrum Internet Service Packages
Spectrum offers three different Internet-only packages that are perfect for streamers. Each package provides download speeds that are fast enough for quality streaming television, however, that’s entirely up to the number of devices in your home. Check out these three Spectrum Internet packages to see which is best for you:
- Spectrum Internet Advantage: Maximum download speeds up to 100 Mbps.
