Why Spectrum

Unique Selling Points

What sets Spectrum apart from other national carriers and managed service providers.

Facilities-Based National Fiber Provider

Unlike resellers, Spectrum owns and operates its own fiber infrastructure — 230,000+ route miles and 246,000+ lit buildings nationwide. As part of Charter Communications — the largest cable operator in the U.S. — Spectrum has the scale and investment capacity to continuously expand its network footprint and deliver direct control over service quality and SLA performance.

100% Availability SLA to the Demarc

Spectrum Enterprise's SLA on Fiber Internet Access, Ethernet Services, Cloud Connect, and Enterprise Trunking covers 100% availability all the way to the hand-off point inside the client's location — not just to the building entrance. This end-to-end guarantee with low latency, jitter, and packet loss commitments sets an industry-leading standard for dedicated connectivity.

Two-Tier Model: SMB Through Enterprise

Spectrum uniquely serves the entire business market through two specialized verticals: Spectrum Business for SMBs needing simple, no-contract coax internet with same-day installation; and Spectrum Enterprise for mid-market and large enterprises needing dedicated fiber, managed services, and SD-WAN up to 100 Gbps. Businesses can start small and scale up — all within one provider.

Managed Workplace Package — One Vendor for Everything

The Managed Workplace Package bundles fiber internet, unified communications, SD-WAN, advanced security, switching, WiFi, and a management portal into a single solution from a single provider. One bill, one support number, one partner — eliminating vendor sprawl and simplifying IT operations for organizations of any size.

Dual SD-WAN Platforms — Fortinet & Cisco Meraki

Businesses choose between Enterprise Network Edge (powered by Fortinet) for large-scale deployments with up to 100 Gbps throughput and 50,000 remote users, or Managed Network Edge (powered by Cisco Meraki) for modular cloud-managed networking with smart cameras and environmental sensors. Both include advanced security, SD-WAN, and WiFi — recognized as SD-WAN Product of the Year.

Private Cloud Connectivity to All Major Platforms

Cloud Connect provides dedicated, SLA-backed fiber connections to AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Google Cloud at speeds from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Private connectivity eliminates the security risks, latency variability, and unpredictable performance of accessing cloud environments over the public internet — critical for compliance-sensitive industries.

Smart Cameras & IoT via Managed Network Edge

Beyond traditional networking, the Cisco Meraki-based platform includes smart cameras with machine learning analytics — motion search, heatmaps, object detection, people counting — in 4K resolution up to 360-degree coverage, plus environmental sensors. Turning the network into a business intelligence tool for retail, healthcare, hospitality, and enterprise environments.

No Contracts & Multi-Year Price Lock on SMB Internet

Spectrum Business Internet requires no annual contract, offers a multi-year price guarantee on select packages, includes free installation with bundles, and backs everything with a money-back customer satisfaction guarantee plus contract buyouts for businesses switching from other providers. This combination of flexibility and value is unmatched for small businesses.
