cable provider

Subscription television service

A cable provider is a company that delivers television programming and often internet service to subscribers through coaxial or fiber-optic cables.

The term emerged with cable television but now typically includes bundled services: Our cable provider offers TV, internet, and phone.

In regions with limited competition, cable providers are often criticized for high prices and poor customer service.
