Is there fiber at your home?

We have Vios out front at the street

We are on Fiber. Up and down bandwidth consistently in excess of 750mbs. We are on Sonic for $65/month. It's a great deal but I know Sonic's fiber has limited geographical reach.

Take your fax number to the an internet fax provider.

just switched to Tmobile 5G Home Internet (5G cell modem w/WAP) -- $51.40/mo out the door.

as above, check if you have fiber locally first.

Comcast/Xfinity is $19/month for 2 tyrabytes but if you rent a router from them for $15/month total 35 its unlimited highspeed.

$89 "pro install" one time fee and house visit required, but after I think you can turn on and off no or minimal fee but don't quote me.

my Note9 phone shows over 500mbs download as does my newer laptop.

main thing with Comcast is you can then get your wifi off anyone else's Comcast Wifi with your account and password. I get "free wifi" but LL wont give up account # (can't really blame them) so I'm thinking of getting my own at $19/month just for the roaming feature.

Pretty sure there are all sorts of services that will get you "real phone numbers" and fax etc over a WiFi including # with your area code to fake "land line" but you can also use world wide.

Comcast seems to be THE service in SF Bay Area where I'm at. Heard up in Copperopolis they wouldn't let big firms in so everyone is on 1990s tier speeds and you gotta wait to late night to download stuff.

How come the Govt can spy on everyone's WWW service but USA can't get its act together with decent nationwide WWW access like all sorts of 2nd and 3rd tier nations?

FJB promised high speed service to the boonies and nothing has happened.

FBHO promised the same with the same result.

Cocks charges me about $140 a month for substandard service. There's only one competitor, which uses DSL. So I've have to get a ma bell landline first.

DSL is abysmal...speed varies a bunch by number of users online. Price was more than point-to-point so we dumped DSL.

We're definitely in the boonies, though a flat 6x8" antenna on the roof connects to a tower about 1/4 mile or so away. No issues other than heavy snow on the antenna, normally melted in 10-15 minutes.

For you it's either Frontier (fios) or spectrum. Nothing else.

[Ivan275]

Call tell them you are thinking of cancelling due to the price, ask if they have any good deals to keep your service.

Repeat yearly.

Can anyone comment on this option? I looks attractive. Is it as easy to set up as they make out? Reliable? Do they ship you the equipment or do they have to install it? Is there a cost for the equipment? Appears plug and play?
