Hawaiian Telcom TV and Internet Bundles for May 2026

If you’re already thinking about Hawaiian Telcom for fiber internet, adding TV might cost a lot less than you think. Bundling Fioptics internet with Fioptics+ TV gives you one bill, one provider, and a lower overall price than subscribing to internet and a separate streaming TV service in most cases.

This guide breaks down every bundle combination available, what you’ll actually pay each month (including the fees they don’t always advertise upfront), and how Hawaiian Telcom bundles compare to what you’d pay with Spectrum.

Hawaiian Telcom internet plans (standalone pricing)

Before we get into bundles, here’s what Fioptics internet costs on its own. All plans include symmetrical upload and download speeds, unlimited data, and no contracts.

Promotional prices require eBill enrollment. Standard rates apply after the promotional period. Gateway fee of $10/mo. is additional on anything below Fioptics 1 Gig. Visit fiberinternethawaii.com/internet for the most current pricing.

Fioptics+ TV packages (add-on pricing)

Hawaiian Telcom offers three TV tiers. All require a Fioptics internet subscription and all include Cloud DVR, Restart TV, On Demand, and the Fioptics+ streaming app. For a full channel-by-channel breakdown, check out our Hawaiian Telcom TV Channel Guide.

TV service does not require a set-top box ($5/mo. per TV). See full TV package details →

The best bundle combinations

Now here’s where it gets useful. Below are the most popular ways Hawaii households combine internet and TV, along with what you’ll actually pay per month.

Budget-friendly: Fioptics 100 + Basic TV

Who it’s for: Smaller households or couples who primarily watch local news and network shows. You get 400 Mbps symmetrical fiber internet — fast enough for multiple devices streaming simultaneously — plus live local channels. If you supplement with a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu, this covers most viewing needs at the lowest possible price.

Most popular: Fioptics 600 + Advantage TV

Who it’s for: This is the sweet spot for most Hawaii families. You get 600 Mbps symmetrical fiber — enough for a houseful of devices — plus the full cable lineup including ESPN, CNN, HGTV, Disney Channel, and Spectrum Sports on channel 89 for live UH athletics. If you’re switching from Spectrum and want a comparable TV experience with dramatically better internet, this is the bundle to look at.

Best value: Fioptics 1 Gig + Advantage TV

Who it’s for: Larger households with heavy internet usage — multiple people working from home, gaming, and streaming 4K simultaneously — who also want the full cable TV experience. The jump from 600 Mbps to 1 Gig costs just $20 more per month and the promotional price locks in for 3 years instead of 1. That longer lock makes this arguably the best overall value.

All-in: Fioptics 3 Gig + Advantage Plus TV

Who it’s for: The household that wants everything maxed out. 3 Gbps symmetrical fiber is the fastest residential internet available in Hawaii, and Advantage Plus gives you 215+ channels including expanded sports and entertainment. Hawaiian Telcom also throws in a free year of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max with qualifying 3 Gig plans, so factor that savings in too.

The fees they don’t always mention upfront

We want to be straightforward about this because it catches people off guard. The advertised internet and TV prices don’t include a few recurring monthly fees:

Gateway fee — ~$10/mo. This is for the WiFi router/gateway that Hawaiian Telcom provides. It’s required for service and you can’t bring your own modem like you can with Spectrum. The upside is that it comes with eero mesh WiFi, which covers your whole home. For more details, see our eero WiFi page.

Set-top box — $5/mo. per TV. Each TV that you want to watch Fioptics+ on needs its own set-top box. However, you can also stream Fioptics+ through the app on devices like Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and Chromecast — which means you can avoid extra box fees on secondary TVs by using a streaming device you already own.

Activation fee — one-time. There’s a one-time activation fee when you set up service. Contact us for current details.

Taxes and surcharges. These vary and are in addition to the prices listed above.

We’re telling you this upfront because we’d rather you know the real cost going in than be surprised on your first bill. View all current TV pricing and fees →

How Hawaiian Telcom bundles compare to Spectrum

This is the comparison most people in Hawaii are really looking for. Here’s how a typical Hawaiian Telcom bundle stacks up against a comparable Spectrum bundle:

The big difference: upload speed

This is where the comparison gets decisive. Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan gives you just 20 Mbps upload. Hawaiian Telcom’s 600 Mbps plan gives you 600 Mbps upload — that’s 30 times faster for uploading.

Why does that matter? If anyone in your household works from home, joins video calls, backs up photos to the cloud, livestreams, or games online, upload speed directly affects your experience. Slow uploads mean choppy Zoom calls, laggy game sessions, and painfully slow cloud backups. Fiber’s symmetrical speeds eliminate that problem entirely.

The OC16 tradeoff

The one thing Spectrum has that Hawaiian Telcom doesn’t is OC16, a Spectrum-exclusive local channel. If that channel is a dealbreaker for your household, we’ve written an honest breakdown of what you gain and lose: Is OC16 available on Hawaiian Telcom? The short version — most of the UH sports content people watch OC16 for is available on Spectrum Sports (ch. 89), which Hawaiian Telcom does carry.

MyWay TV: the customizable option

Hawaiian Telcom also offers a newer option called MyWay TV, which takes a different approach. Instead of choosing a preset package with hundreds of channels, you start with a Starter TV base and add genre packs based on what you actually watch.

How it works:

MyWay Starter TV starts at $30/mo. when bundled with Fioptics Internet (600 Mbps or higher). From there, you pick genre packs — like Sports, Kids, Entertainment, or News — for $5–$10 each. You only pay for the categories you watch.

This is a good option for households that don’t need 175+ channels but want more than just local broadcasts. If you only care about sports and news, for example, you could build a MyWay package for less than the Advantage TV tier.

Tips for getting the best deal

Enroll in eBill. Hawaiian Telcom’s lowest promotional prices require eBill enrollment. It’s free — you just get your bill electronically instead of by mail. There’s no reason not to do this, and it can save you a few dollars per month.

Use your own streaming device for secondary TVs. The $8.99/mo. set-top box fee adds up fast if you have three or four TVs. You can stream Fioptics+ through the app on Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, and other devices — no set-top box needed. Use the box on your main TV and streaming devices everywhere else.

Ask about current promotions. Hawaiian Telcom regularly runs promotions — free months, gift cards, included streaming services. The 3 Gig plan, for example, currently includes a free year of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max. These change frequently, so it’s worth asking what’s available when you sign up.

Consider the 1 Gig + Advantage bundle. The jump from Fioptics 600 to 1 Gig is only $20/mo. more, but the promo period extends from 1 year to 3 years. Over three years, that price lock often saves you more than the $20/mo. upgrade costs.

Take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee. Hawaiian Telcom offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service within the first 30 days, you can cancel and receive a credit for the first month’s charges. That takes the risk out of trying it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get TV without internet from Hawaiian Telcom?
No. Fioptics+ TV requires a Fioptics internet subscription. The TV service runs over your internet connection through the Fioptics+ platform, so internet is a prerequisite.

Is there a contract?
No. Hawaiian Telcom doesn’t require contracts. The promotional pricing has a set duration (1–3 years depending on the plan), but you can cancel anytime. There’s no early termination fee. However, if you cancel, you’ll need to return the gateway equipment within 45 days or a $200 equipment fee applies.

Can I keep my current phone number if I add home phone?
Yes. Hawaiian Telcom supports number porting from your existing provider.

How many TVs can I have?
You can have up to 10 devices on your Fioptics+ account. Each TV with a set-top box costs $8.99/mo., or you can use the Fioptics+ app on streaming devices at no additional box charge. You can also bring up to 8 of your own streaming devices like Apple TV, Fire Stick, or Chromecast.

Does Hawaiian Telcom have a low-income option?
Yes. The Internet Kokua Program offers discounted internet service for qualifying low-income households in Hawaii. Rates start as low as $9.95/mo. for copper service and $12.95/mo. for fiber service including the gateway fee.

What about the Fioptics+ app?
The Fioptics+ app lets you stream live TV, access On Demand content, and manage your DVR from your phone, tablet, or laptop. It works on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and more. You can watch at home or on the go — so if you’re stuck in traffic on the H-1, at least you can catch the game on your phone.
