Service Description
Binghamton University offers both Spectrum Cable and Spectrum U Streaming services to on campus students.
Each bedroom is equipped with one campus cable-TV jack. If your suite has a common room, there will be one campus cable-TV jack there as well. A 10 ft. coax cable will be provided for you to connect your TV to the wall jack. If a coax cable is not available in your room, you may pick one up at the ITS Help Desk located in the Technology Hub Room 115.
