Key Takeaways

• Ultra-low latency internet with L4S technology goes beyond speed, delivering less lag and more control.
• Built for real-time moments: smoother gameplay, clearer video calls, immersive experiences and more responsive apps.
• Currently launched in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas, with a nationwide rollout to follow.

STAMFORD, Conn., May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever hit a button in a game and watch your character react a split second too late? Or talk over someone on a video call because of that awkward delay? That's latency, and Spectrum is working to eliminate it. With the launch of ultra-low latency internet powered by L4S technology (low latency, low loss, scalable throughput), Spectrum is making everyday online experiences feel faster, smoother, and more natural in real time.

"Speed gets you there, but latency determines how it feels once you arrive," said Danny Bowman, Executive Vice President, Product. "Many of today's most popular applications require real-time responsiveness. This is about eliminating delays so customers can enjoy gaming, working or connecting with family via video in a way that feels immediate."

Customers increasingly rely on instant connections to make the most of every moment. L4S technology enables smoother, more responsive connections for latency-sensitive applications including AI tools, gaming and video chatting. Spectrum's low-latency network works with products from companies like NVIDIA and any other developers who build their applications to meet L4S standards. When both the product and network are optimized, the customer wins.

Automatically included with Spectrum Internet service at no additional cost, low latency technology is already live for Spectrum customers in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas. The service will expand to additional markets across the country as the Company completes its ongoing network evolution project, bringing enhanced connectivity to customers nationwide.
