How to Bundle Streaming and Internet: YouTube TV, Xfinity StreamSaver, Stream with DIRECTV, Frontier, and More

I'll tell you about existing bundles of streaming TV and internet services, plus share tips on creating your own custom bundles.

A laptop computer shows someone browsing a streaming service online.

I have good news for those longing for the simplicity of combined internet and TV packages: Several major internet providers like AT&T Fiber, Frontier, Spectrum, and Xfinity now offer special streaming service bundles.
I gotta warn you, though—while some of these come with built-in savings, most still involve separate billing for each service. Given that, you’ll likely find more value and customization by creating your own internet and streaming package. This approach allows you to mix and match services to perfectly suit your preferences.

After I tell you about existing internet and streaming bundles, I’ll recommend a few ways to combine internet plans with live TV streaming services.

Streaming TV doesn’t work without internet service

Do you have a reliable internet connection of at least 25 Mbps? If not, enter your zip code below to see internet service providers in your area.

Pro tip: Just a quick reminder that you can get Apple TV+, Hulu (With Ads), and Netflix Standard with Ads free with select T-Mobile plans.

Streaming bundles with internet are a (rare) thing

Before I walk you through creating your own custom streaming bundles with internet, you should know about some existing bundles with both services. These may save you time and money.

Streaming and internet bundles

Service Internet price TV price Channels Streaming services Download speeds up to Details
AT&T Fiber w/ Stream with DIRECTV $55.00–$245.00/mo. $84.99–$164.99/mo. 90–185+ 3 free mos. of Max, SHOWTIME, STARZ, CINEMAX, and MGM+ 100–5,000 Mbps

Frontier Fiber w/ YouTube TV $102.98–$272.98/mo. $72.99 (incl. $10/mo. discount) 100+ YouTube TV 200–7,000 Mbps
Spectrum (internet + select TV plans) $50.00–$70.00/mo. $40.00–$105.00/mo. 150–160+ AMC+, Disney+, ESPN+, Max, Paramount+, Peacock Premium, VIX** Up to 500–1,000 Mbps View Plan

Xfinity NOW StreamSaverTM* $55.00–$100.00/mo. $30.00/mo. 125+ Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads, Peacock Premium (with ads) 300–2,000 Mbps

* Xfinity internet service required.
** Ad-supported plans. Incl. services vary with TV plan.

Among the current offerings, Xfinity StreamSaver and Xfinity NOW StreamSaver stand out as top contenders for their affordability and widespread availability. Xfinity NOW StreamSaver is what I’d choose if I were shopping for an internet and TV bundle.

Start with any Xfinity internet plan ($55.00–$100.00/mo. for 300–2,000 Mbps) or one of Xfinity’s prepaid NOW internet plans ($30.00–$45.00 a month for up to 200 Mbps). Then, add Xfinity NOW StreamSaver ($30.00/mo.), which has 125+ live TV channels and includes Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads, and Peacock Premium with Ads. Now you’ll have a fantastic bundle with reliable high-speed internet service, a healthy lineup of popular channels, and tons of movies and shows.

Pro tip: Don’t want or need live TV? Save $15.00 a month by choosing Xfinity StreamSaver—Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads, and Peacock Premium with Ads (no live channels)—instead of Xfinity NOW StreamSaver.

That said, not everyone lives in an Xfinity service area, so here are more options.

If you’re in the AT&T service area, you can still bundle with Stream with DIRECTV. You’ll have fast internet speeds and loads of live channels, but you’ll have separate bills, and the TV side will be pricey. Stream with DIRECTV is very expensive, so I recommend it only if you want the best sports experience.

In the Frontier service area, you can bundle the provider’s fiber internet service 200–7,000 Mbps with our Best of the Best live TV streaming pick, YouTube TV, and get a $10-a-month discount (and separate bills again).

Pro tip: Again, if live TV isn’t a priority, check out Frontier’s Netflix & Pro Wi-Fi Bundle ($95.00 a month). Its fiber connections have speeds of 200–7,000 Mbps, and Netflix Premium gives you tons of ad-free movies and shows in 4K.

Finally, if you live in Spectrum’s service area, you can pair Spectrum internet ($50.00–$70.00/mo., 150+ channels) or TV Select Plus ($105.00/mo. (reg. $125/mo.), 160+ channels) to access up to seven free streaming services (some ad-supported).

How to bundle streaming services with internet service

It’s simple: All you gotta do is mix and match. For your convenience, I’ve prepared two comparison tables (below). One lists top live TV streaming services according to our Best of the Best guide. The other table lists affordable internet plans that should pair nicely with the TV services.

To create your bundle, you’ll first choose a live TV streaming service:

Top live TV streaming services for bundling

Service Price Channels Included streaming services Cloud DVR Details
Hulu + Live TV
Editor’s Choice
$82.99–$95.99/mo. 95+ 40,000+ hrs. of movies and shows from Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ Unlimited View Plan
Philo
Best Bang for Your Buck
$28.00/mo. 70+ AMC+ Unlimited View Plan
YouTube TV
Best of the Best
$82.99/mo. 100+ N/A Unlimited View Plan

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.

These are the top live TV streaming services in both our 2025 Best of the Best Awards. One, Philo, also happens to be the highest-rated service in our 2025 live TV streaming customer satisfaction survey.

Philo is very affordable, considering what you get: 70+ entertainment channels, free AMC+, and unlimited cloud DVR. If you prioritize affordability and value, bundle with Philo—but you might wanna get an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to pick up local channels, which Philo lacks.

Pro tip: If you’re into wholesome TV, there’s an even more affordable streaming service to consider for your bundle. Frndly TV has 50+ for only $6.99–$11.99/mo.—but you’ll miss out on many popular TV-MA series. Frndly TV  is also the second-highest-rated live TV streaming service in our customer survey.

If you want a more well-rounded channel lineup that includes your local channels, YouTube TV ($82.99/mo.) is our overall Best of the Best pick for live TV streaming.

That said, I made Hulu + Live TV our Editor’s Choice pick because it has almost as many channels as YouTube TV and includes a massive on-demand library from Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+, making it more than worth the extra $12 a month.

If you’re set on other live TV streaming services like Stream with DIRECTV, Fubo, or Sling TV, you can see plans, pricing, and features at the links provided.

Now let’s choose the internet side.

I borrowed these plan recommendations from CableTV.com’s guide to the Best Cheap Internet Providers and Plans. They cover almost every service area and prioritize affordability over speed, but you’ll have enough internet juice to support streaming video on multiple devices.

But if you’re an avid online gamer or you live in a large, multi-device household with greater bandwidth needs, you’ll probably want a faster internet plan. For those, I’ll refer you to our Best Internet Deals guide.

Save money by creating your own custom streaming bundle with internet

Live TV streaming services are the closest analog to the live TV packages in traditional internet-and-TV bundles—but that doesn’t mean you can’t also include on-demand streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, Shudder in your bundle.

In my guide 10 Streaming Bundles to Replace Cable, I mixed and matched live TV and on-demand streaming services into bundles based on various budgets, circumstances, and interests. You might want to consider pairing one of these with one of the above internet plans to further customize your bundle.

Or, if none of the custom bundle suggestions strike your fancy, you can always create your own—I show you how in the guide.

How to bundle streaming and internet FAQ

Does anyone bundle streaming services with internet service?

Yes, there are a few internet service providers that have bundles with internet service. AT&T still bundles with DIRECTV, Frontier has bundles with YouTube TV and Netflix, and Xfinity StreamSaver bundles are fantastic. Also, T-Mobile has free streaming service offers with select 5G internet plans. The drawback to most of these, however, is that sometimes there’s no built-in bundle discount and often no combined bill (Frontier’s Netflix bundle is the exception).
