As of 23rd June 2019, Charter Spectrum pro rate’s your bill and you have to pay one month in advance when you sign up for the service. In simple terms, this means that you will have to wait until the end of the billing cycle to cancel the services if you are looking to change your provider. Although you can cancel the services during the cycle period, you will still have to pay for the internet service that is no longer in use. So, it is better to wait and consume the services for which you have paid in advance.
What is Spectrum’s billing cycle?
The billing cycle for Spectrum lasts for 30 days. When you add a new service line to your existing bill, the charges for that particular service will appear in the next month’s bill and the end date cannot be changed. So, to keep things simple, try adding new services on the date of your bill. This way you will be able to align all your services together and in case you have to cancel your subscription, you will not have to pay extra.
Does Spectrum Mobile offer payment arrangements?
Paying your Spectrum Mobile bill is easy and convenient. Since the provider requires you to pay the bill with AutoPay, your debit card or credit card linked with the account is automatically charged for the amount due on your monthly bill.
Does Spectrum offer a grace period for late payment?
Almost all cable companies in the United States charge a late payment fee, and Charter Spectrum is no exception in this regard. However, the company does offer a remarkably long grace period of 30 days so that customers can easily manage their expenses in case a problem arises. After 30 days of your due date, you are liable to pay $8.95 as late payment fees.
