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.

Seriously, if you can get T-Mobile Home Internet in a 5G location, get it.

$50/mo, unlimited data, and speeds of 400-700 mbps are commonplace... Dump cable internet.

If you're unsure about making the switch, try it for a month before dumping the cable internet. You have about a month to return everything IIRC. If you don't like it, send it back and keep your cable internet. It's easy peasy.

I called and asked a sales rep, then a retention rep whether they could apply the promotional pricing to my account, but they both said that they could not. I think I might cancel service and re-apply later.

I already have spectrum. Can I cancel my current account and open a new one under someone else's name?
Absolutely. This is what I do everytime I see a better deal postet in their website. Just buy your own compatible DOCSIS 3.1 modem off Facebook marketplace for 40 bucks so you do not have to even pay the one time 30 buck BS fee.

Quote from junkbanana View quoted comment :
I used to cancel Charter for a month, then return as a "new" customer. That's actually what the customer service rep once told me when I threatened to cancel; usually I'd get a call the next day with a better offer to entice me to stay. Then it turned into I was eligible for the new rate after a month absence. That was probably 10 years ago, and now I can't cancel for a month with my wife's job.

TLDR; you used to be considered a new customer if you cancelled for a month.

Can existing customer cancel, sign up a new account at Sam address with their spouse's name and get a better deal ? Any risk with doing this. ? Both me and wife wfh and depend on Internet for our jobs and spectrum is the only provider in my area.
yes

I've heard that some people close their account and re-open it under a spouse to get the new customer pricing... then switch it back when that expires.
I asked some agents about it, and they said the address needed to be without service for a month, which I don't believe.


I'm currently paying $75 per month for 300mbit...
I was considering Verizon Ultra-Wide Band, but I'm not in their service area. One thing to keep in mind, if you require a dedicated IP from a cell carrier, good luck. They all use CGNAT, which means you're sharing IP addresses with other people.
not true. Just cancel with agent on phone. Then go online and start new account under spouse name. You will have service back up in less than 30 minutes. Just remember to have agen decomission your router if you own it. If you don't own it, i guess you will have to wait on that to come in.

Don't ask for that, just cancel then they will offer stuff.

As much as I'd love to have this option, my 5g is abysmally slow in my area. Would have to move, lol.

I'm in Southern California.

I live chatted with Spectrum earlier today when I saw this deal. The first rep told me that my address doesn't have Spectrum service available, and after providing her with my account number and telling her that I'm currently chatting with her with my Spectrum internet at the same address, she told me that I was eligible for $39.99 a month for 24 months for 500Mbps, which is surprising since these deals are usually not available for existing customers. I agreed and she said she signed me up and told me to wait 30-45 minutes for the upgrade and the confirmation email.

An hour later, my internet speed was still the same and I received no confirmation email, so I chatted again and was told that there was no order placed and that I would need to call to upgrade. Then another rep told me that the pricing is for new customers only and told me that I never chatted with them earlier and that I'm lying. I wish there was another provider in the area but I guess I'm stuck with them.

We cancelled our Spectrum service earlier this year and returned all of their equipment when we switched over. They still wanted to charge us for the following month when we were already set up with our new service. Of course we made the reasonable argument that we shouldn't have to pay for a service we're no longer using and of course they ended up sending us to collections.

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.
Spectrum has been advertising these prices in my area too after AT&T Fiber finally arrived in late 2021. I switched to AT&T Fiber 1 gig service back in April for $80 w/ HBO Max (was paying Spectrum $75 for way slower). I don't plan to switch back to Spectrum unless AT&T service jacks up their prices and/or quality of service goes to crap. Wish there was more competition in the telco space, but this is what we got.

Not sure how much you like the HBO Max but if you do be careful to not change your speed as you will lose the free HBO Max if you do as it is no longer included.
