Choose Your Speed
The first step is to decide which internet speed is that suitable for your household depending on its size and usage. Spectrum have several tiers starting from 100Mbps up to 940 Mbps for download speeds. Think about how many people will be connected simultaneously, if you watch numerous movies or series or play games online, and how many devices you’ll connect to the Internet, such as phones, tablets and laptops, computers, smart devices, and appliances. In general, the more you drive, the more you can do it on the Internet without loss of performance. For basic usage it is 100 Mbps, but 300 Mbps or above is preferable in a busy home.
Order Service
In deciding on speed, go to Spectrum’s online site or calling their phone ordering number to begin the new service. For instance, you want to change your address and your message can read, ‘Hello, I would like to request for a new installation and hereby provide my new address and my full name and contacts and the date I wish to be installed’. As weekends and many other desirable dates for sailing tend to fill up early, whenever possible order your dates in advance. Make sure that your chosen service tier is appropriate, and see if you can get a faster connection at a later date if needed.
Shop Packages and Promotions
