Here are three options worth comparing if you want to cut your bill by up to $600 a year.
Cox Internet and TV Lite: Save Up to $948 a Year
Cox’s 2 Gig internet plan plus TV Lite currently starts at $110 per month, compared to its regular price of $189 a month. In other words, you’re saving $79 every month for 12 months, or $948 in a year. With this package, you get up to 2 GBPS of download speeds as well as 60 top cable channels.
If you don’t need that high of a download speed, you can also choose the lower-cost package that includes 500 Mbps internet plus TV Lite for $70 per month, a $59 monthly discount from its original price of $129.
Optimum Internet, TV and Mobile: Save Up to $360
If you’re a customer with Optimum, you could save up to $30 per month, or $360 per year, by bundling internet, mobile and TV instead of subscribing to each separately. The package includes Entertainment TV and comes with a five-year price lock on internet plans. When you bundle, you can also get a $200 prepaid card.
Note that the offer isn’t available in all areas, and you also have to meet certain eligibility requirements.
Spectrum Internet and TV: Save on Internet and Streaming
Spectrum lets you build a bundle by combining internet with TV, streaming, mobile, or all three. Its internet plans currently start at $30 per month for 100 Mbps and up to $60 per month for 1 GB.
If you want both internet and TV, you can bundle the two to get a discount as well as an internet price guaranteed for two years. For example, when you bundle the $30 per month internet plan with its $40 per month TV plan, you get $10 off per month.
The bigger discounts come with faster internet and larger TV packages. Spectrum’s recommended Internet Premier + TV Select Signature bundle costs $130 per month for two years, compared with a listed $150, so you’re saving $20 per month or $240 a year. It includes 500 MBPS internet, advanced Wi-Fi, over 150 channels, and streaming apps.
