How to build the best cable TV and internet bundle

Cable TV and internet bundles can improve how you enjoy your favorite shows, sports, streaming platforms and online experiences. A great bundle provides the best of live TV and a fast internet speed plan while reducing the costs of subscribing to each service individually.

Bundles come in many different shapes and sizes and not everyone knows how to build the best cable and internet bundle for their needs. The vast array of channel combinations, internet speeds and add-ons can be overwhelming.

Balancing the costs of these services to stay within your budget while satisfying the needs of your household and keeping up with the latest advancements in tech, including new streaming features and smart-home devices, complicates the decision-making process.

Let’s explore bundle options and evaluate what to consider when creating the ideal cable TV and internet bundle that meets your entertainment needs.

So, how do you choose a good internet provider that fits your needs?

Here are some key factors to consider when selecting an internet provider for your cable TV and internet bundle:

Evaluate your needs based on your household’s usage patterns and number of devices. Consider your family’s online activities, including gaming, working from home and remote learning.

These activities may require fast internet speeds, up to Gigabit internet speeds, for optimal performance. Also ensure you have a solid WiFi setup to maximize the speed of your internet plan throughout your home.

Astound provides internet plans ranging from 50 Mbps to 2 Gigabit, ensuring you match the right speed to your household’s needs.

Consider your budget when choosing an internet provider. Understand the provider’s pricing models and watch out for potential hidden fees.

Many internet providers offer monthly payment plans with the flexibility to cancel anytime, while others offer long-term contracts with fixed prices and early termination fees.

For individuals on a budget, Astound offers affordable internet plans through the Internet First program, which is ideal for eligible seniors, families, veterans and students. Qualifying applicants can get the 50 Mbps or 150 Mbps internet plans, which have no contracts, require no credit check and are free for the first three months for new customers.

Ensure that the provider offers reliable coverage with minimal outages in your area. Verify coverage by checking the providers’ websites to confirm availability specific to your location.

Fiber and cable internet connections offer high speed internet for households in urban and suburban areas.

Why not include your mobile phone service plan in your cable TV and internet bundle? With Astound, you can bundle all three, accessing live TV, fast internet speeds and a mobile plan in one package while saving money.

Astound also makes switching phone carriers hassle-free. You can bring your compatible, unlocked mobile phone and keep your current phone number. Plus, Astound’s mobile savings calculator tool helps you compare your current mobile phone plan with potential plans offered by Astound Mobile to see how much you can save.

With reliable nationwide 5G network coverage, Astound Mobile provides dependable service wherever you are, ensuring connectivity at home or on the move.

With Astound, you can build an internet and TV bundle that offers you the best of both worlds—fast internet speeds and live TV with your favorite on demand content. Astound recommends bundling your TV plan with an internet plan of at least 100 Mbps or 300 Mbps for a consistent connection.

Here’s how you can design the perfect bundle based on your preferences:

Astound TV provides the following packages:

• • Basic: 40+ channels for $35-$60/month, covering local and sports channels
  • Preferred: 220+ channels at $125 to $150/month, including the basic package channels

Each Astound TV package comes with:

• • An IPTV set-top box
  • The Astound TV+ app, which allows you to stream live sports, news and content from your devices

If you are an existing customer and have older TV equipment, Astound will swap that equipment for an IPTV set-top box.

Building the perfect cable TV and internet bundle offers the convenience of having the best entertainment experience with fast, reliable internet while helping you save by merging the services under one plan.

As you build your cable TV plan, consider its cost compared to streaming services, channel lineups, integrating your favorite streaming apps, user experience and the latest technological advancements.

When selecting an internet provider, focus on your household’s internet usage patterns, pricing and the reliability and coverage of the provider’s connection.

Astound offers bundling options that include TV, internet and even mobile phone services. With Astound TV, you’ll enjoy local news, live sports coverage, entertainment and premium channels all in one place.
