✦ Edited and fact-checked by Managing Editor Mike Strayer
Spectrum Internet Premier is built for families who want a boost in download speeds without jumping all the way to gig-level service. It’s a natural upgrade from Spectrum’s entry-level plan and offers more consistent performance for homes filled with connected devices.

Spectrum Internet Premier price keeps things competitive
Premier’s pricing sits in Spectrum’s mid-tier, and as such, it delivers more horsepower without a major jump in monthly costs.
According to our annual CableTV.com pricing trends report, Spectrum’s internet plan pricing has either stayed the same or decreased slightly over the past five years, giving Spectrum an advantage in long-term affordability.
However, Spectrum’s overall performance in the latest CableTV.com customer satisfaction survey showed that only 58% of customers felt their Spectrum plan was worth the price, putting it square in the middle of the ISP pack. (Woof, yeah, what can we say?)
Still, Spectrum is reasonably priced, and you can find up-to-date promotional savings on our always-current Spectrum Deals page.
Spectrum Internet Premier speeds support multitasking and streaming
Spectrum Premier delivers speeds strong enough for 4K streaming, online gaming, remote work, and cloud-heavy tasks. In a comparative performance review, Spectrum earned a 74% customer satisfaction rating for its internet speeds, indicating that folks see Spectrum’s bandwidth as reliable and capable.
Nota bene: We excluded Spectrum from CableTV.com’s latest Best Internet Providers Awards because its competitor, Xfinity cable internet, far outpaced it in terms of customer satisfaction and performance.
That said, because Premier sits between Standard and Gig tiers, it offers a “just right” mix of speed and stability for households that want a noticeable upgrade without overspending.
Spectrum Internet Premier availability continues expanding
Spectrum’s hybrid fiber-coaxial network covers a large portion of the U.S., and Premier is available anywhere Spectrum’s standard plans are offered. Wide availability remains one of Spectrum’s strongest assets, which means most households can upgrade to Premier without switching providers.
