What does this mean for Cumberland Connect?
By discontinuing our video service, we have a service and product lineup that will support our mission to provide the best subscriber experience possible.
- True - We are no longer offering a “TV” service. [But, with high-speed internet, you have TV Freedom! How? We offer resources and guidance to help our members get the same channels, shows, movies, and sports they could get from traditional cable TV with Cumberland Connect internet and the streaming platform of their choice!]
- True - Cumberland Connect still offers amazing fiber-delivered Internet and phone service.
- True - Dropping video has not and will not slow down our construction progress or impact our commitment to service to our members in any way!

Streaming: Your neighbor’s doing it… You should too!
The fact is that traditional TV and the cable industry have been in decline for years. We’ve all seen it – It seems like every time we turn around, another channel has its own Streaming app. The good news is that there are choices, a lot of choices, that help our subscribers get the content and channels they want to watch. With MyBundle, subscribers can take a short quiz and receive a recommendation for the streaming platforms that are the best fit for their family’s viewing needs. Even better, subscribers will often save money by cutting the cord and switching to streaming.

Our team is available to assist you with any questions. You can contact us directly by calling (800) 987-2362.
