Show Notes
Charter, operator of Spectrum, acquires Cox Communications for $34.5 billion, becoming the largest internet provider in the US with 61 million customers. The merger, announced in May 2025, adds Coxs 6.5 million customers to Spectrums 31 million, without affecting local market competition. Despite higher price increases, Spectrum scores slightly better in customer satisfaction. Critics argue the FCC should have imposed stronger consumer safeguards, as the merger could lead to future cost hikes. Charter pledges to move all Cox offshore jobs to the US within 18 months, but no timeline is set for transitioning Cox customers to Spectrum service.
