Deal Details
Spectrum (Charter) Cable Internet Only Plans for Select Markets (YMMV) are being offered at VERY low prices with a 24 Month price lock without contract or bundle requirements - No Data Caps - Free Modem - Wi-fi 6 Router is a $5 mo. Option

300 Mbps download (10 up?) - $19.99 Saving $55 mo.
500 Mbps download (20 up?) - $29.99 Saving $65 mo.
1 Gbps download (35 up?) - $39.99 Saving $75 mo.

I was with them for 20+ years and finally left them in 2021 when they wouldn't offer anything reasonable. These prices are likely just in markets where consumers have choices. Thankfully, many can get home internet from Verizon or T-Mobile now and it is putting pressure on AT&T and cable companies.

Unclear how long these prices are good, but they are current at http://www.spectrum.com when you enter your address and ask for rates (provided you live in select market). I had switched to AT&T and had a great rate lock for 300 Mbps, but with no contract, pays to move for what might be 30-60% less. Rate should be good for existing Spectrum customers too, so call for PM! - Ok, maybe not, but worse case they say no.

Edit: Based on comments so far and Spectrum requirements to enter your exact address in order to see rates, it is possible you might only see listed rates if your address has had Spectrum/Charter service in the past. Actually saw this price via Facebook ad. So, unless FB shares exact address with advertisers, they wouldn't know I had service before. If Spectrum is the only option in your area, no reason for them to offer these rates. This is very address dependent.

These prices appear to be specific to customers where AT&T Fiber Speeds are available. I tried my address and did not get these speeds but best AT&T offers me is 50mb. Tried friend few neighborhoods over that has 1G AT&T and these prices are available to them.
There is a very good chance it is more about AT&T fiber or other choices customers might have based on their address vs. just trying to win previous customers back. No way for me to know exactly on that because I can only test my address. They will not show rates for just zip codes. So would need someone who has AT&T Fiber available and has never had Spectrum service to state what prices they see for same address. Even then, might be just that market.

lol Spectrum burned me, so I moved on to Verizon Home Internet 5G and couldn't be happier.

I'm paying a WHOLE lot less with Verizon and my service is a lot faster and a lot more stable (and connected to a UPS, it stays up even when the power goes out unlike cable with Spectrum).

When they continued to raise my prices while their service continued to degrade, and take things away from my bundle without compensation, I tried reaching out to get a better deal multiple times over roughly 6 months just because I didn't feel like switching providers - and each time they basically just laughed off my threats of leaving for someone else, despite my ~20yrs of being a customer (between them and Charter).

Finally fed up, I switched about 3 months ago to Verizon and it's been great. Spectrum has a very bad habit of screwing over their existing customers, so buyer beware - offers like this are basically bait and switch for people who don't like changing providers, so just go into it knowing you'll need to switch in a year or whenever the promotion runs out or you will wind up paying significantly over market price for your Internet once regular pricing kicks in.
Thanks for sharing. I expect your story is one shared by many. For sure you likely will need to switch again in 2 years. I went from promo to promo with Charter for many many years, then they stopped caring about existing customers. Thankfully there are other choices and glad to hear Verizon is working for you. I can tell you AT&T customer service was shocked when he pulled up the Spectrum rates after entering my address. So yeah, maybe the system will only offer these rates to past customers as it requires address.

which zip code gives you these prices?
North Texas area Zip, but note might only be if address has had Spectrum/Charter in the past and/or AT&T Fiber is an option at that address.

They never have good price for current customer. You have to open another new account under different name or just leave and come back after a while.
Yep. They have you and they know it's difficult to leave- often they're the only game in town.

On the plus side they've been the most reliable and fastest provider I've ever used. They keep sneaking in free speed upgrades too. Was at 200Mb, went to 400Mb, now I'm at 500Mb and my bill has stayed the same. No data caps either.

Charter/spectrum charged me for returned modem fee when I returned it. Yes, I should have kept the receipt but it was also terrible to misplace it and charge the customer.

Have ATT fiber and never had spectrum before. Shows $49.99 for a 300 mbps and the only way to reduce is by qualifying for ACP.

I don't have any issues with Spectrum since I switched from Verizon about 4 years ago. I like that there are no data caps.

the reward for loyal existing customers is higher price for lower speed.

I agree that it very low and for sure not in all charter markets. I can also say that based on them telling me where I could shove it last year, they aren't offering it to "just me". The rates do not require customer name, only address, so might just be to win back service addresses from the past or them just having to lower prices to take AT&T Fiber customers. I just can't know for sure.

Lowest price at my address is $49.99 for 300 mbps for 12 months for new customers. This has been the promotional price here for many years.
