When buying a new cable service, most providers offer bundles that combine several services for one price. Charter is no exception. In order to know if the bundle is right for you, you should assess whether you will use the services offered frequently enough to justify the price.

The Facts

Charter offers a bundle that allows you to combine its digital cable television service with its digital phone service and/or its high-speed internet service. You may also simply opt to bundle Charter's phone service with its high-speed internet service.

Features

The bundle includes over 100 cable and network channels, on-screen programming, On Demand service where available and your choice of one digital programming tier. Along with the digital television service, you can add Charter's High-Speed Internet or Charter Telephone, which includes caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and call screening. You can also choose to combine all three services with your bundle.

Benefits

The Charter Bundle allows you to combine all necessary services into one compact monthly fee, which may save you money if you intend to buy multiple services.

Considerations

Many consumers are swayed into buying a bundle when they only need one service. If you mostly watch television through online outlets and use only your cell phone, you should assess whether adding anything beyond Charter's High-Speed Internet service is necessary.

Warnings

Study the bundles online before confirming your service by phone. Customer reps will ask you if you want extra additions to your bundle when you call. Ask what each addition costs before committing to any extra features.
