Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good speed for Internet?

A good home Internet speed has a starting download speed of 100 Mbps, ideal for households with several users connected on multiple devices at the same time so that you can surf, stream, game and make video calls. The more speed you have, the faster your connection. Spectrum has Internet plans with speeds up to 1 Gig

What impacts or slows down my download and upload speeds?

There are a handful of factors that could impact or slow down your download and upload speeds:

If your computer is older or out of date, it may affect your transfer rate. Try checking to see if your computer requires updating.

Check your wireless connection. Walls, radios or increased distance from your router might be causing WiFi interference. Try getting closer to your router or plugging it in directly.

What to do if my Internet speed is slow?

Slow Internet speed could be caused by an outdated router or a router placed too far away from your TV or computer. However, if your Internet speed is slower than you would like, you can consider a faster speed option, such as Spectrum Internet Gig.

Why does Internet speed matter?

Internet speed determines what types of activities you can do on online. Videos, games and video calls all rely on faster Internet speeds.

How are coverage and Internet speed related?

Good coverage means your device is getting a strong WiFi signal. That strong signal will also deliver as much speed as your device can handle. As you move away from your router, signal strength diminishes, slowing upload/download speeds and reducing coverage. The placement of your router is key to ensuring both coverage and speed for your devices.
