That said, you can still find some good deals by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/internet\/tv-internet-bundles\/\">bundling TV and internet<\/a> together.

The most basic cable package allows you to watch all your local stations, including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, and more. You can also get shopping networks like QVC and HSN, as well as a variety of music channels. If you want access to HD channels, you can rent a CableCARD\u2122 from Cox for an added fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cox has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/az\/phoenix\/profile\/cable-tv\/cox-communications-inc-1126-3655\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A+ rating<\/a> Better Business Bureau (BBB), which grades companies based on how they respond to and try to resolve customer complaints. On the BBB site, Cox receives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/az\/phoenix\/profile\/cable-tv\/cox-communications-inc-1126-3655\/customer-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poor customer reviews<\/a>. Out of more than 600 reviews, customers give Cox an average one out of five stars, citing confusing pricing and connectivity issues among the top complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cox receives a slightly higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumeraffairs.com\/cable_tv\/cox.html?page=2#sort=recent&amp;filter=5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.9 star (out of five) customer satisfaction rating<\/a> on ConsumerAffairs. Top positive reviews compliment Cox technicians and customer representatives for their helpful service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theacsi.org\/industries\/telecommunications-and-information\/subscription-tv-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Customer Satisfaction Index<\/a>, Cox got a 61\/100, five points lower than the average for subscription TV services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xfinity-choice-limited-tv\"><b>Xfinity: Choice Limited TV<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-1\">What we like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Lowest starting price of any cable TV company<\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\">20 hours of DVR storage included<\/span><\/li><li>Access to the Xfinity Stream TV app<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-1\">What we don&#8217;t like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Cheapest plan only includes 10 local channels<\/li><li>Equipment costs an extra $10\/mo. <\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\">$27.80\/mo. broadcast TV surcharge<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity is one of the most well-known cable TV providers in the country. It has a pretty wide coverage area and is available in nearly 40 states. Xfinity does offer pricey cable packages if you\u2019re looking for HD channels or specialty add-ons, but its most basic cable package sits at $20\/mo. in most areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like the plan name states, one downside to Xfinity\u2019s basic cable package is that it has very limited channels. You\u2019ll only get access to 10 channels, like&nbsp; NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, and CW. This packing is the best for the basic TV watcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major benefit to this service is that all customers get access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xfinity.com\/get-stream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xfinity Stream TV app<\/a>, which lets you watch thousands of on-demand shows and movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/tx\/houston\/profile\/cable-tv\/xfinity-0915-72000018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A+ rating from the BBB<\/a> and an average of 3 stars (out of five) based on more than 3,000 customer reviews. Positive reviews compliment knowledgeable technicians and customer service representatives. Negative reviews cite unclear promotional pricing and billing issues among the top problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ACSI gives Xfinity by Comcast a score of 65 in consumer satisfaction, one point lower than the industry benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spectrum-tv-select\"><b>Spectrum: TV Select<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-13\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-2\">What we like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Over 125 channels in cheapest TV plan<\/li><li>Available in over 40 states<\/li><li>Discounts when bundled with internet<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-2\">What we don&#8217;t like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>High starting price<\/li><li>$22.20\/mo. broadcast TV surcharge<\/li><li>$5-$11\/mo. equipment fee<\/li><li>Poor customer reviews<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Spectrum is more expensive at $59.99\/mo. (plus a $22.20\/mo. broadcast TV charge), but you&#8217;ll actually get a solid lineup for the price, with over 125 channels like ESPN, TBS, TNT, USA, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cable TV packages from Spectrum also include free HD and free on-demand content. And if you bundle two or more Spectrum services, you can save a significant amount of money on your monthly bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BBB gives Spectrum a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ct\/stamford\/profile\/cable-tv\/charter-spectrum-0111-110075917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C- rating<\/a> due to unresolved complaints filed against the company and a failure to respond to complaints. The company receives an average of one out of five stars based on more than 2,800 customer reviews. Customers cite surprise charges, unclear pricing, and a difficult cancellation process as reasons for negative reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ACSI gives Spectrum a 63\/100, three points lower than the industry average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sparklight-economy-tv\"><b>Sparklight: Economy TV<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-16\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-3\">What we like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\">A+ rating from BBB<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-3\">What we don&#8217;t like<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>High starting price<\/li><li>Only 20 local channels in cheapest plan<\/li><li>Expensive fees<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparklight offers two standalone cable TV packages for $42\/mo. or $109.75\/mo. You&#8217;ll also pay between $14.44 and $30.54\/mo. for a broadcast TV fee and another $10.50\/mo. for equipment. With all those added fees, Sparklight doesn&#8217;t end up being very cheap, and you can pick up its 20 local channels for free with a TV antenna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparklight has an A+ rating from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/in\/vincennes\/profile\/cable-tv\/sparklight-0482-90034011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBB<\/a>, with a 1.35\/5 scor in customer reviews.

That said, it&#8217;s cable plans offer decent channel lineups for the additional price. Like most TV providers, Optimum has an on-demand library of movies and shows that you can watch whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimum has an F rating from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ct\/bridgeport\/profile\/cable-tv\/optimum-0111-101076\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Better Business Bureau<\/a>.

You may be able to shave some money off your monthly bill by choosing a plan that only has the channels you absolutely need.<\/li><li><b>Call the provider and ask about discounts and current promotions: <\/b>Cable TV providers are usually running promotions and discounts to attract new subscribers.
