The internet has become one of the biggest inventions in our lives as almost everything is completely digital now. There are very few things that run in our world without the use or assistance of the internet, which means internet is used everywhere. We have seen continued advancements in the internet data industry as we are now using 5G technology but what about Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is one of the inventions that helped in internet take off as it was allowing people to have strong internet connections without the wired connection. Now there are W networks being used in sporting facilities and arenas, schools, homes, restaurants, and many other businesses. Coffee Shops have seen a huge benefit from having accessible Wi-Fi for their customers. Although internet access seems to be everywhere, is it a first world privilege?

There are multiple internet providers within the country and each other them has their pros and cons but the one that everyone looks at the most is pricing. It's no secret that getting reliable and fast Wi-Fi is going to cost a pretty penny but recently that trend has taken to prices to astronomical levels as internet companies try to keep up with each other.

Spectrum has been one of the many internet providers that has raised its prices multiple times over the last couple of years to stay competitive. While this does keep them among the leaders in the industry, the rise in costs is affecting their customers in a major way, which has led to some switching providers. As Spectrum continues to lose business, they are looking to make changes.

Spectrum was already knowing for having fast and reliable Wi-Fi that had no data caps, contracts, or other fine print concerns. Spectrum found themselves among the $50-$100 price range if not higher for some customers per month, which caused them to look inward. Spectrum wanted to show appreciation to their customers and have voluntarily decided to lower prices while also boosting speeds.

Spectrum customers can now expect to see the speed of their internet services become even faster while also being able to bundle their internet for as low as $30 and they are also eliminating their Wi-Fi- costs for gig services. This will be introduced as the Customer Commitment Initiative.

All customers will receive a boost in their download and internet speeds but not all customers will receive lower prices.  This is only for those who choose to bundle their cable, mobile, internet, and other services through spectrum. It is difficult for Spectrum to keep their prices low as they battle with fiber optic and mobile internet providers.
