Those who are moving for the first time may not know whether you have to create a new account with your cable and internet service provider once you’ve changed addresses.

If you are moving within a Spectrum service area then you can keep your original Spectrum account. That means you can continue to pay your bill. Any additional features you previously had set up like auto pay will also remain available to you for future use in your new home.

Another option is to call and find out about any new services or packages via Spectrum available in the new area you’ve moved to as they differ from location to location.

How Does Moving Spectrum Affect My Services & Equipment?

Now that you know how moving Spectrum affects your bill, you may be wondering how it affects your services and equipment. 

It is recommended to always call Spectrum representatives at the number we previously provided if you have any questions and concerns regarding your services and equipment, but we can answer a few questions for you here.

Self-Installation

Self-installation is available for Spectrum users in some locations, meaning you would be able to install your equipment yourself. If this isn’t the case, a Spectrum installation specialist can come out to your home to install the equipment for you and answer any other questions you might have. 

New Equipment

If your new address calls for new equipment you may need to return your old equipment. 

Returning Spectrum equipment can be done with the below options: 

  • UPS Mail in: Simply drop the equipment off at any UPS store. Fedex Mail In: Just drop the equipment off at any Fedex store. Store drop off: Spectrum has its own store you can drop used equipment off to. Home pick up: Spectrum customers with any disabilities are able to have their equipment picked up at home by a Spectrum technician.

Now, let’s see how moving Spectrum affects your settings for Spectrum.

How Does Moving Spectrum Affect My Network & Account Settings?

You may be wondering if your settings are reverted back to default once you move your Spectrum since you’ll be resetting your location.

You can speak to a Spectrum agent about how transferring your account works. You can update your personal information such as phone number, home address, email address and speak to them about other things such as notification settings and payment. 

If you are bringing the same equipment from your old address to your new address then your wifi name and password will remain the same. If you are bringing new equipment to a new address then you’ll need to set up a brand new wifi name and password. 

The new name and password will most likely be found on the router module. If not, you can use instructions provided to find the information via any computer. 

Can a New Location Affect My Spectrum Cable Service?

A big question many people ask when moving is if they’ll get the same service strength as the last address.

In some cases, Spectrum TV experiences changes in local channels and overall channel line up depending on the location of the user. On the other hand, Spectrum Voice doesn’t change, still allowing unlimited local and long distance calling to other countries. 

The only other possible issue you might come in contact with when moving is whether or not the new house is wifi friendly. Thick walls, location of the router, how big the house is can all lead to wifi issues. Luckily, Spectrum technicians and customer service agents can work with you to find the best solutions possible.
