What am I billed for each month?
Internet, Phone and Cable TV services are provided on a month-to-month basis. The prorated monthly service charge, which includes any equipment lease fees and any installation charges, is normally payable either before or when service is installed. After that, we will bill you each month in advance for service. Your bill will include a list of your services, package or special offer discounts, payments, credits and any applicable fees and taxes.
How will I be billed each month?
Every month, Sparklight will send a bill by mail or electronically, whichever option you choose. Payment options include Easy Pay (automatically withdrawn), online payment, pay by phone, in-person payment at one of the approved payment centers, or mail in.

When is my bill due?
Payment in full is due to Sparklight by the ''Due By'' date indicated on your statement. If full payment is not received by this date, your bill will become past due and may be subject to additional fees such as late payment charges, reactivation fees, returned check fees, or subject to disconnection of service.

What if I miss the payment due date or do not pay the full amount?
Missing a payment will subject your account to late, reconnect or termination fees as well as disabling and/or disconnecting of all services. Please call Sparklight Billing Support at 877-692-2253 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, to discuss late or missed payment options.
When does a prorate of my bill occur?
A prorated charge occurs when you add or remove a service before your billing cycle ends. It reflects the length of time you use Sparklight services. For example, if a service is added in the middle of the month, you are only charged for the number of days the service was used. Check the detail section of your statement to see the date ranges for these charges and/or credits.

What are the franchise fees on my bill?
Sparklight is required to pay Franchise Fees to provide cable TV services in your area. These charges are detailed as a separate line item on your bill. The fee calculation is regulated by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and federal law. Standard city, county or state taxes vary by location. The tax amount may change and is based on your service and equipment. The FCC tax is paid to the Federal Communications Commission.

If you disagree or have questions about any portion of your bill, immediately contact Sparklight to discuss your concerns. Please contact at 877-692-2253, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
