Spectrum Mobile vs. Verizon Wireless In 2024

If you don’t care about premium data, then you might consider comparing the Verizon Start Unlimited plan instead. Having four Verizon Start Unlimited plans would cost about $180 per month but would not include premium data.

Spectrum’s starting Unlimited plans, on the other hand, include premium data.

Again, once you use up your premium data, your non-premium data is subject to a slowdown due to network congestion. In other words: you can access data, but your speeds are subject to negotiation based on how many other people around you are also using your carrier.

One last aspect to note is that it is easy to switch plan tiers through Spectrum Mobile. You can switch to the next tier up at any time of the billing cycle if you think you’ll need it, which can be done directly through the My Spectrum app! The drawback is that, although it is just as easy, switching to the next tier down can only take effect during the next billing cycle.

At this point, a subscription with most digital services includes a perk or two. Here’s a breakdown of the freebies associated with Spectrum Mobile and Verizon Wireless.

One benefit of bundling with Spectrum Mobile is that you can streamline your billing services. Additionally, you can have free Spectrum Hotspots to conserve data (even if you select one of the Unlimited options).

Certain Verizon Unlimited plans, however, include limited subscriptions to streaming services or to cloud storage. At present, the offer for service inclusion expires after the times listed below.

An additional perk through Verizon Mobile is that the Just Kids plan has Smart Family Premium™ with Parental Controls. These controls allow parents to manage their child’s contacts, data usage, content filters and more. None of the Spectrum Mobile plans offer parental controls.

Below, you’ll find a chart listing some of the perks and their corresponding limitations included with Verizon Unlimited lines. The added value of these perk services ranges between $30 to $45 per month depending on which plan you pick.

Again, however, some of these offers expire after a certain amount of time. If you’d like to keep those services by then, you’ll have to pay separately.
