SPECTRUM TV PACKAGE PLUS
Starting monthly price: $138 plus taxes and fees.Up to 50Mbps and 140-plus live TV channels There's also a regional sports fee that will add $10 or more to your bill. It's $70 per month with standard DirecTV service ($122 after 12 months) or $75 per month with DirecTV Stream ($90 after two months).
SPECTRUM TV PACKAGE UPGRADE
Speaking of channels, if you want your regional sports networks (the primary reason many have a traditional TV subscription, myself included) you'll need to upgrade to the Choice package. Yes, there are 100 or so more channels available with the satellite service, but those are largely just filler channels, like East/West versions of the same network and lots of music channels.

DirecTV Stream requires no contract and, while "prices are subject to change at any time," there isn't the same price increase after 12 months like with DirecTV. Standard DirecTV service (satellite) comes with higher equipment costs and fees than DirecTV Stream, not to mention a two-year contract requirement that locks you in for a significant price jump after the first year. Still, AT&T internet plus DirecTV Stream will be the better long-term deal. It also technically comes with around 100 more channels. The Entertainment package is the cheapest available with both DirecTV and DirecTV Stream, but the satellite version is $5 less per month, at least for the first year. As for TV, AT&T gives customers two options that are essentially the same service: DirecTV (satellite TV) or DirecTV Stream (live TV streaming), both of which are a bit pricey neither currently include a discount for bundling with internet. On the internet side of the bundle, AT&T Fiber 300 is one of the best internet deals available starting at just $55 per month with equipment and unlimited data included. The cheapest AT&T internet and TV bundle comes with max download and upload speeds of 300Mbps and at least 65 or 160 live TV channels, depending on the TV service you choose.
