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?
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.
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.
Only to business/enterprise customers AFAIK. It’s actually rock solid in terms of reliability in my experience with a couple dozen customers in the Midwest. Even their residential coax connections are fiber-uplinked from the nearest switch, and are reasonably reliable.
Edit: None of which is to suggest that they aren’t still a shitty company in terms of their other business practices. They once included guest hotspots with every new business installation that used their customers’ power to sell more Spectrum services to anyone within WiFi range.
Fiber internet gang rise up! I would very much enjoy the death of spectrum
Yeah i went from a speed of 10 mbps upload to a speed of 300 mbps upload thanks to fiber
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.

In my case it is the default and there is no need to negotiate the rate.
Oh nice 👍 are there monthly equipment charges? I do know there’s different equipment.
Nope, not for my ISP.
Thanks, you’ve helped a lot in convincing me to switch. 👍
Oh it is $79 now, sure. But next month it will be $84. The next month after that it will be $89.

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

it’s so wild to me that america still views fiber as a new thing, it’s been standard in the nordics for like… 10 years maybe?
