Suddenlink’s best package will cost you an arm and a leg. We don’t love the price, but the Internet 1 Gig, Premier TV, and Phone bundle has a lot to offer.
Internet 1 Gig hits 1,000 Mbps download speed, which is so fast it’ll be like the Men in Black went into your brain and erased the very concept of buffering. You’ll also be free of Suddenlink’s data caps. That means you can download all those HD movies without fear.
Premier TV comes with all your basic cable channels and beyond, including HBO® and NFL Network. You’ll also get STARZ® and SHOWTIME® included for one year, so you better have a nice couch—you’ll be spending a lot of time on it.
On top of all that, you can add Suddenlink phone for 12 months without paying extra. Your local and long-distance calls are unlimited, so go ahead and call your friends in other states (without your signal dropping) to catch them up on all the great shows you’ve been watching.
Along with Suddenlink’s respectable channel counts, incredibly fast internet, and packages that include phone for only $10 extra a month, there are plenty of other things to like about the service.
Check out the neat offers that set Suddenlink apart from the competition:
Rather than cluttering your home with multiple devices, Suddenlink combines your modem, router, TV box, DVR, and streaming device all into one piece of equipment: the Altice One.
We like this minimalist approach, but we wish there was more storage on the cloud DVR. It keeps up to only 75 hours of HD shows, which is nearly enough for all six seasons of The 100.
When you sign up for a Suddenlink Premier TV package, you’ll get Max included for no extra cost. Better get ready to binge-watch some incredible on-demand TV.
Suddenlink checks most of the right boxes for TV and internet, but it costs more than we’d like. If you want to bundle TV and internet services, we recommend checking out competitors like AT&T for bundle discounts.

The basic Suddenlink cable package, Value TV, comes with all these favorites and more:
Suddenlink’s cheapest internet package is Internet 300 at $40.00 per month for the first 24 months. Internet 300 offers decent internet speeds if you’ve just got three or four people at home who occasionally stream TV or game online.
Suddenlink includes Max with its Premier TV package, which costs $115.00 per month for 12 months. Plus, if you love channel surfing, you’ll have a great time scrolling through over 340 channels with Premier TV.
Suddenlink often offers cool perks like Visa gift cards, so keep an eye out for those.
However, if you just need cheap internet and you’re part of a low-income household, check out our recommendations for internet subsidy programs. Right now, you could save up to $50 per month on internet through the Emergency Broadband Benefit program.
