Fun fact: If you have Spectrum Internet/TV service, you can also get Spectrum Mobile, which hilariously is born of a poorly negotiated agreement between Verizon/Spectrum that gives equal ownership to Verizon towers to Spectrum.

I pay $14/mo for 1GB on the very same towers that Verizon customers use, apparently without any reduction in priority or service.

Good on the FTC for stopping that practice.
