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.

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.
This has been my experience with them, forever! They just don't offer anything as an existing customer. I'm considering changing names. Getting someone else to do it for me.

Cancelled existing account and signed up under wife for the low price
Does it matter what name the credit card is under? Does it have to be your wife's name on the card? Do you think any name will do, and I can still use my credit card, with my name?

I'm planning to cancel and re-subscribe with my wife's name as it would save me $45 a month for the 500MB plan. A new customer in my area is $29.99 for 500MB. I just called my credit card company and asked them to issue me another card but under my wife's maiden name, just in case.

CS said no promos but as soon as I got to retention dept they gave me 500mb for $50/mo and free mobile for a year
You're the few that were offered the free mobile for a year. Which data plan did they give you? The unlimited? I think they only have 2 data plans.

you know you can sign up for the 19.99 300mb plan and then later call to complain about speed, they will upgrade you to the ultra free of charge. This upgrade is a standard upgrade they offer to all customers that calls.

Has anyone had any luck price matching for existing customers on promos such as these? I thought they were only for new customers
You first need to understand what the lowest promotional rate Spectrum is offering in your area- Spectrum uses dynamic pricing depending on competition and does not have a 1 nation-wide pricing.

Here is a step-by-step playbook to lower your Spectrum rates-

Step 1) On the Spectrum website, plug in your neighbors that are within 2 rows of your immediate vicinity to get the rate sheet.

Make sure you use 1 neighbor with the same street name as yours and 1 neighbor on an adjacent street with a different street name than yours (i.e. the ones opposite and behind your house) to get the lowest rate offered in your neighborhood.

Step 2) Call the Spectrum customer service department and ask for retentions. If the first retentions rep is not able to give you that lowest rate you found, ask for a supervisor.

If supervisor tells you that you do not qualify for the offer since you are on a different street address, insist it is not fair that your neighbor has a lower price even if they are on a different street name because you are literally just opposite/ behind them. Ask the supervisor the rhetorical question if the alternative is to go to AT&T or Verizon for lower price.

A good supervisor will put you on hold and magically return to let you know they have modified your rate to the lowest one you found in your neighbor.

If you get a bad supervisor, hang up and call again.

Step 3) The supervisor will let you know your new promotional rate is good for 1 year. Ask to see if they can extend it to two years especially if your neighbor's offer is good for 2 years. If not, call back before the promotional rate expires 1 year from now to reinstate the same rate.

Spectrum has raised my prices over the year and now I'm paying over $200 with the bare minimum. Is this the case for others? I'm in NY.

Do you have phone, cable tv aggregation package, premium (ie hbo). Cut that stuff. Buy as needed, from monthly streaming, cut when done.

Otherwise, spectrum loves you for your continuous monthly contributions to their bonuses.

Regarding OP, is Spectrum the only option for anyone anymore? There's so many wireless/satellite companies offering internet now. My lines are buried with only spectrum but always call each year telling them I plan to switch to 5G. This deal gave me a big boost. Went from $75/200 to $50/500.

This is very encouraging. You're the second [erson I've seen say this in this thread and I'm paying/getting the same. My dad got hoodwinked when service got swapped over and I got "grandfathered in" to the special higher rate than anyone else ppays, after being told I could get 400 down for 30/mo.

I've been meaning to call back and do the whole retention thing, but I hate dealing with them and now that I know there are new promotions on, it makes sense that now would be a good time to try this.

found it easiest to cancel/disconnect service and provide the disconnect date ahead of time (IE last day of current service month). once that's done you can sign up a new account at same address online. minimize any lack of service time

When you speak to customer service for internet only plan, always tell them your mobile phone is under a corporate plan and work pays for your phone bill so you can't switch and you have no TV because you don't watch TV. You'll just have to deal with the upsell about half a dozen times instead of a few dozen times, including calls after post order.

anyone get free mobile for a year, but get charged for the second month? They sent me a bill for the second month at $45, due dates isn't until later this month, so they haven't charged me yet, but there isn't supposed to be a second month charge. I'll have to call them Monday.
