How to use Spectrum remote?

Let’s be honest. Spectrum has great service. You can have a professional come over to install the services for you. The technician will plug in all the boxes, wires, and help you understand how the product works. However, this service will cost you a one-time charge of $49.99. Many people find this charge logical because of the convenience and service they are getting. Conversely, others might find it difficult to pay. Charter Spectrum understands this concern. Therefore, they give customers a self-installation option. This way customers get a self-installation kit either through mail or store pick-up but they have to plug in the boxes and set-up everything themselves. The self-installation option costs $24.99. This offer is for Spectrum internet, Spectrum cable, and Spectrum voice services.
