Spectrum Gives Eligible US Customers a Free Gig Speed Boost From November 9 to 30, Pitched at GTA VI
Charter’s Spectrum says eligible customers can switch on a free “Gig Speed Lift” in the My Spectrum app: up to 1 Gbps, or 2 Gbps for some existing gig customers, until November 30.
Confirmed — Spectrum (Charter) announced on November 4 that it is “treating eligible customers to a free Gig Speed Lift, November 9 to 30”, timed for GTA VI’s pre-load and launch, as quoted by Dexerto and GTA BOOM.
Eligible customers with compatible equipment turn it on in the My Spectrum app and get up to 1 Gbps; existing 1 Gig customers in select areas can get 2 Gbps. Spectrum calls it “no cost, and no strings attached”, and speeds go back to the normal plan after November 30. Spectrum says customers can start playing GTA VI “in less than 30 minutes”.
The maths: Rockstar says the pre-load is up to 212 GB. At a full 1 Gbps that is about 28 minutes, so “less than 30 minutes” is a best case; Wi-Fi, home equipment and the console stores’ own servers usually make it slower.
The limit of this story: this is a US Spectrum offer, not a Rockstar partnership, and Charter’s newsroom page did not load for us, so the quotes come from Dexerto and GTA BOOM’s reading of it.
