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.

Just got off the phone with them, was paying $94.99 for 400mbps and ended up with 500mbps for $49.99 for a year.
How you end up doing that ?

Told them that I was upset because a a family member got a very good promotional rate and I'm over here for $X for xmbps. Didn't really take a lot to convince her, she was trying to give me tv service but told her I had canceled that with them already lol

Has anyone had any luck price matching for existing customers on promos such as these? I thought they were only for new customers
Last year I asked for their current promotion and they told me no. I said that I planned on cancelling if they didn't make any changes to my bill. I asked to be sent to the cancellation department and they did. I got there and the tone was night and day. I said that I wanted a better price and wasn't going to get one so I wanted to cancel, immediately they (genuinely, it seemed) wanted to help me, and got my bill down from $85 a month to $50 over the next two years and then $65 the year following. They even told me to call back in two years to see if they could do anything else to help then. It was a 15 minute call and it saved me over $300 already.

Are you guys going straight to canceling service/retention or talking to "Upgrade Service" rep?

Definitely go straight to the Retention Dept. Spectrum finally had some competition after C-Spire laid fiber in the neighborhood over the last few months. The wife still likes her TiVo and is not ready for the YouTube TV plunge. Went from paying $170 for basic cable, 1 cable card and 100Mbs to basic cable (same), 1 cable card and 500Mbs for $124 for 3 years. I will take it. Same cost as getting internet and streaming service plus a happy wife leads to a much better life. Peace

Retention gave me 1 year $60/m for 500mbps. I have the worse luck but I guess it's still better than years of nothing and always calling my bluffs. With additional $20 activation and taxes, it really isn't much of a discount compared to what I'm paying now.

My previous promo was about to end (paying 50 for 300), retention offered me $55 for 500 with 11 months of free cell service ($45 first month then free for 11 months thereafter). I said no, even though I only have ATT DSL in my area, I don't even have T-Mobile home internet service available (to me at least, there is a waitlist). I was planning to just cancel and sign up new service for $45. I mentioned the T-Mobile home internet for 50 a month and magically they offered me $50 for 500 and 11 months cell service. She did mention she sees the T-Mobile promo on her computer. So just don't take the first offer and be willing to cancel if push comes to shove. One thing, make sure you call or cancel before the next billing, once they bill you pay for that month.

"New" connection at 500Mbps / $29.99 has been solid so far. Bill shows $29.99 no extra taxes or fees. The only problem I am having now is on my old account, they are trying to charge me a $60.00 equipment non-return fee. I did return the equipment to a Spectrum store on Sunday 9/4 and have the receipt to prove it (KEEP THAT RECEIPT!). I called it to resolve it on the phone and they are going to do an "investigation" that will take 7-10 days. I asked them where I can send a copy of the receipt and said they don't need it. How are you going to do an investigation without the evidence supporting my claim?

This is the new Spectrum scam. When I canceled service I tried returning the router/box to a B&M store, but they all closed around me. So they said drop it off at UPS, I did that and didn't think anything of it.

6 months later I get a call from collections!!! I called them, got transferred multiples times finally to a nice csr saying sorry for the trouble I'll remove this from your account.

They are VERY low compared to the past 10+ years.. I told them I would never leave them if they kept me at $30 or less. They just kept raising them, so at least you get a 2 year lock and then see what the world is like at that point. As for the ACP, the rates have NOTHING to do with that program and you should be able to use said program with listed rates as far as I know.

Many other countries pay way less for much faster than offered in the US. Hopefully with cellular, fiber and sat offerings getting better each year, we will have more choices bringing prices down. I first left Spectrum for T-Mobile Home Internet as $50 mo. was a good rate at the time. Never got it to be consistent and need that to continue to help SDers with great deals! AT&T Fiber has been wonderful, but not worth price difference. I could get 1Gbps with Spectrum for less than I pay now for 300. The upload speed will be a lot slower than fiber if that matters to you.

I know I stated call them for a PM. If they have that rate for your address and you are existing customer, you might or might not get it. Worse case you could stop service (will still continue until statement end date) and sign up online again. Perhaps just increase your mobile plan data for a month or something as a backup if you need to go without service for a time to be a "new customer". Online research states need to be anywhere from 30-90 days without service to be a "new customer". Don't know if they go off address or perhaps just person. So maybe could work just signing up using name of another person at the same address. If anyone knows for sure, chime in..
From what I've read, signing up with your spouse or someone else's name in your household works.

I'm also seeing conflicting information on whether it's 30 days or 90 days before they consider you as a new customer. Does anyone have first hand experience? Also, how do you know when they started considering you as a new customer? Do I have to go through the sign up process from time to time just to find out? Or they will send me ads for the "new customer" offer?

You can read through the thread, seme will say you can cancel your existing and sign up with other info that same day. Some will say a rep will say you need to not be a customer for x days. My suggestion is if you see the promo price you like online after entering exact address, perhaps sign up for that and then worry about cancelling any existing service at said address. If the system sees that address is subscribed, then you will have to go the cancel route first. Have a plan b if you have to go without for hours, days, weeks, etc.. very difficult if they are the only game in town at your service address. You are not really signing up for much of anything other than a price lock, no contracts with Spectrum anymore.
