How to cancel, reschedule or move Spectrum® services ordered through SPX Internet, including equipment returns, fees and proration.
We can help you cancel, reschedule or correct your order. Spectrum does not require annual contracts for residential service; however, some installation/activation fees may be non‑refundable once a technician is dispatched or service is activated, and charges may be pro‑rated through the disconnection date.
Scenario | Typical Outcome | Who Finalizes |
---|---|---|
Cancel before installation | No monthly charges; any SPX deposit refunded | SPX (deposit) / Spectrum (order closure) |
Cancel after activation (same cycle) | Pro‑rated service charges; equipment return required | Spectrum |
Technically infeasible install | Charges reversed; deposit refunded | Spectrum / SPX |
Missed tech window | Reschedule; fees may apply per policy | Spectrum |
Spectrum‑owned equipment (modems, routers, receivers, phone adapters) must be returned after cancellation. Keep your receipt and tracking number. Credits are posted by Spectrum once equipment is processed.
