How much do you pay for the internet?

[Unheard]

how did you get 60 up?
the only thing holding me back from 400/20 is the fact they wont give me anymore upstream even at 900.

That is so not fair.... i want more upstream.

That's what I love about AT&T. As I mentioned above, $90/m no-cap.

 

[pcslookout]

$70 a month

 

[soulcougher73]

Peoples Telecommunication
$95/m
100mbps
No data cap
Rural small town so not many options that don’t rape you.

I am just loving my T4 line!!

 

[LikeLinus]

Gigafiber
1GB up and down.
$70 for the first year, then $90 a month.

When I lived in Bangkok I paid $15.

I'm content with my 75/75 in my $150 FIOS triple play package ($30 of that are stupid fees). Any faster speed and the price goes up exponentially. If I had to pay separately, I wouldn't want to pay more than $50/mo. just for internet regardless of speed. It's the same damn internet and I can wait an extra few minutes for rare large downloads. Wish the $30/mo. prices were still around - I think we had 15 Mbps back then.

"Upgraded' my Xfinity Internet account (300 down/20 up) unlimited (no cap) last April by just changing the rental modem to the XB6 for just $5 more.

FIOS new customer deals, are triple play with Gigabit FIOS internet, for $79.99, with a 2-year agreement.

Sounds like you need to get a temp / backup internet, for a short period (like 1 month or so), cancel your FIOS, and re-sign as a new customer. I did that last year, to get a better deal.

I can't imagine paying $150/mo for FIOS, and only getting 75/75 internet. I don't even know if they offer that to new customers anymore, it's so slow.

Edit: Not trying to "pick on" your internet speeds. For a one or two people, 75/75 is probably enough. I had 75/75 for years on FIOS myself, when I had MOCA WAN configured from my ONT.

Just pointing out, that they provision gigabit ethernet from the ONT now, and offer up to Gigabit (940/880Mb/sec) speeds, for less than your paying now, IF you can manage to snag a new-customer deal.

If you have a high-end TV package, though, or cablecards, then cancelling your existing service might not be the greatest idea. Also, they charge rent for the routers for new subs, currently $12/mo, IF you don't supply your own. Check ebay for highly-rated sellers, make sure to get a "Verizon" unit with "Verizon Firmware". NOT "Frontier", or cross-flashed. Those won't work on VZ, long-term.

I now have the Xfinity 250 Mbit package with phone and TV. It costs about $160 a month all in with taxes and fees.

Expensive, but the only provider in this area is Frontier and they top out at 100 Mbit access for around the same price.

You wanna know why I upgraded? Because my wife wanted the Cooking Channel. I was totally happy with 150 Mbit that came in the base package, but no.... she had to have her "Best thing I ever ate" reruns. They don't even have the channel in HD, for pete's sake.

I remember seeing some fees on my bill with another provider when I had basic cable with my internet. So many of those fees are total bullshit, like OTA retransmission fee, sports network fee, etc... the breakout of those items is just so they can dishonestly represent the cost of the TV service as lower than it really is, just like this recent lawsuit against AT&T: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...t-raises-mobile-prices-above-advertised-rate/

Spectrum. 3mpbs for $15. It really isn't enough but if I wanted more going up even a single notch would quadruple the price outright. I can't afford that.

Yes you could, women have unfortunately ruined that for you though.

You do know she is female right?

I still have an existing 2-yr deal that started at < $150 and has ballooned up thanks to those fees and now the STB hike. If I cancel there's an early termination fee. At that point, I can jump onto a new 2yr deal but after that with gigabit speeds, I'll be committed to much higher costs than $150/mo (triple play). I'm just hesitant to do the cancellation every 2 years, but if this price keeps going up, I just may risk it.

I live in a smaller city in Canada where these services are available from a local city-owned utility. We have fibre-to-the-house which includes the modem and a router in the rental fees. From that you can buy internet access (no data limits), landline phone, digital TV and home security system services. We buy only internet access plus landline. Their rates are advertised (AFTER the initial discount introductory period) as:
Gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbps down, 100 Mbps up C$ 130/mo (US$ 100)
Fibre 200 ethernet (200 / 100), C$80/mo (US$ 61.50)
Fibre 75 ethernet (75 / 37), C$70/mo (US$ 54)

We bought the Gigabit service and have a Gigabit ethernet wired local network in the house. My son works for that provider so we get a discount - I don't know exactly that he pays for the bundle of two services. It certainly is fast. I can see now that, when downloading larger files, the time taken is determined mainly by the speed of the server sending them; our gigabit service rarely limits the speed.

All Spectrum internet plans include modem in the service. Of course, they allow you to use your own modem but you're not avoiding any fees.
