Can you bundle YouTube TV with home internet?
Ironically, even though Alphabet, Google’s parent company, owns stakes in GFiber and YouTube TV, GFiber doesn’t offer any YouTube TV discounts.
That said, over the past five years, regional internet service providers (ISPs) Frontier and WOW! both stopped selling cable TV service and now offer official YouTube TV bundles. There’s only one catch: You must live in one of their service areas and have had no previous YouTube TV experience (not even a free trial).
If you can’t get Frontier or WOW! on your block, don’t sweat it. YouTube TV — our editors’ favorite live TV streaming service — is available almost anywhere. This guide will walk you through your plan options so you can determine whether YouTube TV bundles are worth it for your household.

Frontier’s best fiber bundle with YouTube TV is Frontier Fiber Internet 500 with YouTube TV ($102.98 monthly), which has 500Mbps, no data caps, over 100 channels, and unlimited Cloud DVR. That plan will work for most people, but larger households and power users will want one of the faster plans.
On the TV tip, YouTube TV is our perennial favorite live TV streaming service — we say it’s a key reason why Frontier’s YouTube TV bundles beat traditional TV provider bundles. Streaming TV is simpler and more flexible, with no contracts, no fees, and no cable box requirement.
Plus, you can enjoy 100+ popular channels and free unlimited Cloud DVR with YouTube TV.
Pro tip: YouTube TV free trials can be anywhere from 5–21 days. The Frontier deal’s terms and conditions don’t define “standard free trial,” so assume it lasts five days.
What are customers saying about YouTube TV and Frontier internet?
YouTube TV is a great choice for TV lovers, and it’s our pick for the Best of the Best in live TV streaming. However, Frontier didn’t live up to the hype, and placed 13th among its competitors in this year’s Internet Customer Satisfaction Survey. Frontier Internet isn’t the worst choice around, but it also doesn’t have the stellar record that YouTube TV does.
Pro tip: Frontier Internet serves 25 states, but its most significant presence is in California, Texas, Indiana, Florida, Alabama, and Arizona.
"It has all the channels we had before with cable but at a better price than cable."
"Not a good value for the speed I have. I began with Verizon fios about 10 years ago, price was low. It then became Frontier and they keep raising the rates while my speed stays low and they won't replace the 10 year old modem/router."
Bundle YouTube TV with WOW! internet and save $10/mo.
If you live in a WOW! service area, you can also get a YouTube TV bundle that’ll save you $10/mo. for one year. It’s not much savings, but $120 is $120, amirite?

We used to say on CableTV.com that 100 Mbps is enough for most households, but in reality, any internet plan that features download speeds below 500 Mbps is probably gonna give you grief.
In the grand scheme of things, $110/mo. for live TV and home internet ain’t bad, so I say splurge for the 600 Mbps speeds.

Now, if you can get WOW! fiber internet in your hood? I say go for it, especially if you stream and game a lot. Most folks will be good with gig speeds—there’s no need for three or five gig speeds unless you’re running a hype house (lol).
What WOW! internet customers are saying
WOW! internet customers are pretty satisfied with the ISP. It scored an overall satisfaction rating 71% (we consider 70% good) on our annual customer satisfaction survey.
Our Tech Editor, Eric Chiu, is one of those satisfied customers:
I haven't had major problems with them as a WOW! subscriber. I'm in a mid-sized suburb and they've had nearly perfect uptime in nearly five years. I don't deal with their customer service teams frequently, but they've been able to answer basic questions with ease.

How much is the HBO Max-YouTube TV bundle?
All in, you would pay roughly $100/mo. if you subscribe to HBO Max's Standard plan through YouTube TV. Pro tip: This add-on technically isn't a bundle because it doesn't feature a monthly discount.

Yes, that's about $10/mo. more than just adding HBO, but it would save you around $10/mo. if you want STARZ and SHOWTIME content, too.
