There's no sense in paying for services you're not using. Like my gym membership, monthly subscriptions for idle services can eat up a household budget.

If you have cable internet, then you're using DOCSIS technology. DOCSIS, which stands for data over cable service interface specifications, is a standard that defines how your modem relays cable internet signals going to and from your home.

Verizon Fios has an advantage over Spectrum thanks to its 100% fiber-optic network. You’ll get symmetrical or near-symmetrical download and upload speeds with Verizon Fios, whereas Spectrum’s maximum upload speeds fall far short of its download speeds. Both providers start at $50 monthly, though Spectrum increases that price by around $30 after one year and charges an equipment fee of $10 if you want to lease your router.
