I pay $101/month for 50/50 fiber with landline phone. ZIply Fiber (was Frontier before and Verizon before that). About $11 is attributable to taxes on the phone and $10 is for router rental which is going away once I replace it with a Ubiquiti router later this week. No special deals or contract.
FWIW when I went from 25/25 to 50/50 I could see no difference at all for streaming and most services won’t give you 50Mbps for transfers anyway. Biggest performance improvement was with speedtest sites!
Home: I pay USD28.49/month (as per this hour from IDR412,500) for 75Mbps upload and download 1:1. No quota (Fair Usage Policy).
This is considered high speed for home internet here. This package doesn’t include telephone line, because people here use VoIP (WhatsApp, LINE, Facetime) rather than phone. GSM is expensive for phone, but cheap for mobile data.
Phone: USD2.69/month (from IDR39,000) for 4GB internet with bonus a month of Disney+.
Are there any other service providers in your area that offer gigabit fiber?
To anybody in general…
If you live in a rural area and need access to decent internet for a cheap price, take a look at Starlink.
You might also want to take a look at what T-Mobile is offering.
If you live in an urban area and need access to fast internet for a cheap price, take a look at Verizon Fios or any other gigabit fiber service provider in your area.
We’re lucky to live somewhere with multiple ISPs, and our town voted to explore the potential of building municipal fiber a few years back. So we’re at $65/month for symmetrical 1 Gb fiber.
I’m in northern Indiana. I pay Xfinity $40/month for 100 down, and I assume 5 up (I’d have to check to be sure — I usually get 6 in practice). I supply my own modem or I’d be paying another $14.
I don’t bundle anything else, so that pricing is internet only.
There is a 1TB data cap, but I never come close to hitting it, even though all of my TV watching is via streaming services. I’m not a gamer.
400 down/100 up (which is pretty accurate), unlimited traffic
200+ TV cable channels
4 phones with 6gb usage each/month (4G)
1 mobile tablet (i.e. iPad) with 10gb/month (4G)
1 landline phone free calls Europe, special daily period free calls outside Europe
Our neighborhood was a bit newer when we moved in, and they put in fiber along with the standard cable company’s options. We pay $75 per month for gigabit (typically 800/1000) service through Centurylink. They had a lifetime rate offer (shouldn’t change), so we jumped on it. If we would have waited just one more month like our neighbors did, it would have been $65 per month for the same 1000/1000. We were paying around $85/month for a tenth of that with Spectrum (cable). It has been great.
Internet is rather costly here and most access their internet through mobile as most areas aren’t accessible. Fiber internet can be found in most large cities. Most are still stuck in DSL.
We pay about PhP2,499 (about $50) a month for 50Mbps for unlimited internet that includes landline that can do free call on their mobile network.
$95/month for Spectrum’s 400/20 plan here. I bumped up from the $75/month 100/10 plan because there are 4 of us in the house on video calls for 5 hours a day, but once school’s out I’ll drop back down. No data caps, and we consistently use 1.2-1.4TB of bandwidth (the kids watch a lot of YouTube, plus we stream all our TV and TV+ services).
There’s fiber less than a mile from the house as the crow flies, but to get to it one has to pass through the woods and then a cemetery. I have no expectation that we’ll get fiber in the neighborhood as we have no poles to string the lines on (all services underground) and shallow trenching doesn’t seem to be a thing around here. I would gladly let a fiber provider rip up my yard to bring their service to the neighborhood in the name of competition.
Do your research! Buy now with the intention of the price going down later… because it will (according to other people on the internet and even Starlink themselves).
