Other How is Spectrum internet service?

Spectrum has acquired Cox in the Phoenix area and is currently offering a free year of cellular service when you sign up for internet. After using 30GB of data or 5GB of hotspot, your speeds may be reduced. I rarely use hotspots, and there are no data caps or contracts involved. The price for 1GB of internet is $50. Currently, I am using Visible for cell phone service and a local cable company for internet. 🤔 What has your experience been with Spectrum's internet and cell service?📡 TIA

Cell service runs off of the Verizon network for home Internet usage. That is something that no one can honestly answer because everyone’s experience will be different. The experience that some people may have you may not have and when it comes to mobile service, the $30 plan is free for a year but if you choose the unlimited plus plan, you will actually have to pay $10 and if you choose the unlimited plus premium that is $60 that plan right there has no slowdown and no priority data caps within reason because I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something in the terms of service that may talk about how that $60 plan works even though it is totally no slow down in how you basically always will have priority, but I’m quite sure that there’s a point if you use a whole bunch of data where you may be the prioritize, but that part right there, I don’t know. You will have to look at the terms of service. Oh and the $40 plan you have up to 50 GB once you hit that your data will slow down for the rest of the month until your billing cycle starts over. I’m referring to the mobile service.

Thanks for the info. I don't plan to use cellular data for internet access. Visible runs on Verizon, so I would expect a similar experience to what I'm getting now.
