5 reasons why bundling internet and TV in 2025 is worth it

The cost of cable TV and streaming services continues to rise. Average cable TV prices have climbed from $101 monthly in 2020 to $136 in 2024. Streaming platforms like Netflix have also increased their prices from $13.99 in 2020 to $24.99 in 2025 for the premium plan.

As these monthly entertainment bills rise, households look for value-driven solutions that maintain their favorite channels, premium features and overall entertainment experience without downgrading or straining their budgets.

That’s where bundling comes in. Combining your internet and TV services into a single plan can save money as providers offer bundling discounts and convenience with simplified billing and integrated services while you enjoy high speed internet and a premium TV experience.

The rising costs of TV services

Average internet data use has been increasing over the last few years, with the most recent research from OpenVault showing that American households use about 590 Gigabytes of data per month.

As more people access 4K streaming, online games, work remotely and integrate more smart home devices, monthly data consumption may surpass a terabyte in the coming years, especially as demand grows for AI, VR and ultra-high-definition content.

Why it's worth bundling TV and internet

Bundling your TV and internet services in 2025 offers more than just savings. It provides convenience and added perks that standalone plans can’t match. Let’s explore why choosing a TV and internet bundle makes sense in 2025.

1. You can save more money

Your device type can determine what activities you can do online, as well as how much data those activities consume. Smartphones, for example, may use less data for streaming than a smart TV; however, a connected gaming console or 4K streaming device may require significantly more bandwidth.

2. Bundling services is convenient

Bundling your internet and TV services into a single plan simplifies your life by providing a single payment process. You’ll also have one provider for sign-up, installation, maintenance and customer support, resulting in faster resolutions in case of any issues.

With Astound, you receive same- or next-day professional installation by certified technicians. Paying your bill is easier, too, with options for electronic billing and auto-pay, which includes a $10 monthly auto-pay discount.

3. Less stress on your data cap

Many internet providers enforce data caps averaging around 1 TB per month. Although the average household uses about 700 GB of data monthly, surpassing the 1 TB threshold can happen easily through data-intensive activities such as streaming 4K/8K content, online gaming or working from home.

Going over your data cap results in overage fees or throttled speeds.

Providers encourage customers to bundle internet and cable TV by removing the data caps on internet deals. With Astound’s unlimited internet data plans, you can connect all your devices worry-free and enjoy uninterrupted streaming of your favorite shows and live sports.

4. Everything works better together

Bundling your TV and internet service with one provider aligns your equipment, network and support to work together for seamless integration and maximum performance.

At Astound, we continuously upgrade our network infrastructure to deliver fast, fiber-powered internet, more dedicated bandwidth and consistent performance for multiple connections while providing the best TV experience with the latest features.

These upgrades ensure you get the best internet speeds for gaming, streaming and browsing while enjoying advanced TV features such as cloud DVR, on demand content and an intuitive user interface.

Astound’s unified equipment and service also result in faster troubleshooting of any issues that arise, reducing downtime.

With Astound, you can get one free unlimited mobile line for a whole year, saving you around $40/month when you bundle your internet and TV with mobile services.

This triple-play bundling lowers the monthly bill and consolidates billing under one provider.

The more services you combine, the more discounts and perks you receive, keeping your household connected and entertained without overspending.
