A US cable and broadband company that offers internet, mobile, TV, and voice services under the Spectrum brand to homes and businesses across dozens of states. Founded in 1993 by three former cable executives, it became a nationwide powerhouse after a 2016 deal absorbing Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. Fun fact: it was once owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who bought it in 1998 and merged it with Marcus Cable.
