    I’ve seen advertisements fiber internet is in my area (Frontier), starting price is $59, guessing the price goes up eventually?

      I have gigabit fiber and am locked in with a price of $59 a month for at least 5 years.

        Nice, was it easy to talk them into the 5 year or is it standard? Spectrum is $79 and getting tired of it. Any comments on the equipment costs or suggestions?

          Oh it is $79 now, sure. But next month it will be $84. The next month after that it will be $89.

            Oh nice 👍 are there monthly equipment charges? I do know there’s different equipment.

          At&t does the non-intro rate as standard for fiber. I’m not sure about other vendors, but it seems like maybe they’ve realized that most people are wise to their game at this point and have dropped the charade.

            Good to know! So are there monthly equipment charges? I do know there’s different equipment for fiber.

              It’s included with the total for me. I only have two items on my bill: the exact amount they quoted me for 500/500 fiber, and tax.

              And I mean, it’s only been three months, so I’m not willing to get an AT&T tattoo yet or anything, but they are at least being above-board about everything so far.

                Oh that’s better, I hate “modem rental fees”. Knowing there aren’t any seems to good to be true these days lol.

                  Agreed so hard. It took me weeks to get Spectrum to take it off my bill after the installer refused to take it back with him. I even drove it to their office and plopped it down on their desk. I couldn’t believe they were being so shady about $5. So far no such problem here.

                    Amen. Such a disgusting practice that never should’ve been allowed to get off the ground.
