mommyoffive Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If you have internet at home, how much are you paying per month? And who do you have? We have Charter and they bumped up our rate to 75 a month with taxes I called and got a lower rate, but I still not happy, as they offer 39 a month for new customers and they don't do it for existing.

Most companies give out lower rates for the first year or two. It's clearly stated that it goes up to full price after that time. However, most will bring it back down a bit but not to the new customer rate, if you complain. We pay $140 but that's for both internet and cable.

Wheres Toto Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $65 through Optimum. We only have internet, no cable or phone so we aren't getting any breaks for multiple services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbeanmama Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $75 covers Internet and home phone. We were grandfathered in when our small phone company was bought by Windstream, so we can't change anything (options like caller ID, voicemail, or Internet package) without losing our rate, and any change would be more expensive. We don't have cable/dish/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $50 for Comcast internet at home and includes xfinity wifi so I do get xfinity wifi coverage in most urban areas. That does help me as my iPhone is on a prepaid plan with no data so I can call my husband using skype or FaceTime using wifi hotspots. Our internet is high speed but I forgot which plan, just not the slowest. My husband will call and get better rates every time our current promo ends. We are near many free wifi hotspots and have done without home internet. We just walk to the library or Peet's or Starbucks for wifi. So Comcast knows we will walk if our bill goes too high.

mamaraby Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $68 with taxes and fees. It's gone up significantly from when we first switched over from cable plus phone and internet to just internet. There's no data cap though which sure beats the slower speeds from AT&T U-Verse that also comes with a data cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time it worked, but not at the level we were paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historically accurate Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $78 is our internet portion. It's the fastest speed; DH was working from home for a while (he's not now, but we didn't drop the internet speed). We end up paying $91 monthly with some cable TV stations - it's a weird package. We can't get a DVR and netflix for that price, so we keep the cable TV. DH has to call every year or so because they raise the rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarasue7272 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have had the intro $40 rate at Comcast for a year. Tomorrow we are getting fiber from att. 100mbs for $60. Data cap of 1terabite, which I can increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 60$ a month for verizon FiOS, which is fiber optic, fast, and AMAZING with the added bonus of not having to ever deal with the Satan that is Comcast and time warner. I love it so much and when we inevitably move again to where it's not available I will seriously mourn it a little bit. Alllllthe internet devices running alllll at once even when we had four adult guests (so 8 things actively using WiFi at once) never ever any slow downs for any reason ever.

Martha in GA Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $78 for cable only with Cox. The price keeps going up, up, up... there is no competition here : (. And, their signal is not constant, so we have times when we have to reboot, etc. My dd paid half this amount in her college town with several providers available...

SparklyUnicorn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $165 with all taxes/fees. That includes cable, phone, Internet, and a fixed international calling rate. This is with Verizon Fios. If you tell them you are canceling their service, they will very likely try to strike a deal with you. We do this every year with Fios and it works every year.

Soror Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 $75. Small town, no competition in providers. We also live in a small town and with no competition where we live, unless you count satellite internet which is way expensive and doesn't work as well. Our fee is $72, that includes our home phone with unlimited long distance and unlimited internet at a pretty good speed, as well as call waiting and caller id.

Lanny Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We are in Colombia. We pay approximately USD $48 a month including taxes. 20 Mbps although so far it's 50 Mbps. FTTH fiber to the house. We have 3 TV sets with the very basic channels. Landline phone with unlimited calling within Colombia. A huge improvement over the previous provider...

cjzimmer1 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We pay about $80 a month with taxes for internet and home phone. There is no break for having both products and the phone portion is $30-35 a month. I really want to drop that portion but DH has been dragging his feet about helping pick out one of the freeish phone services (like blackjack or ooma) but I need his help because I'm not techy and everything runs through a proxy server to block junk on the internet so I have to have his input to make sure he can make the phone service work with his proxy thing.

lulalu Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 In the states we paid 75 USD. It is so high in the US! Other places in the world it is so much cheaper. I pay 18 USD a month here in Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how they get you. The price difference between internet alone verses bundling all three is so small we just go with the package deal. What really irks me though is they don't offer land lines. So it's just VoIP which would be pretty much free otherwise. But, again, bundling....

Is it comparable or are you paying in "waiting time" (as in waiting for websites to load, etc)?Faster than what we had in the states. I am illiterate in these terms, but it is faster. Honestly, this is an area where comparable to US the rest of the world is generally so much cheaper. At least all the countries I have lived in. In several places internet was unreliable, but it was cheap so no problem. But most places have reliable cheap service.

Tess in the Burbs Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 we pay $60 with comcast for the faster internet. Dh has to call every year when they double it after a year is up. So 60 for 12 months, 120 for 1 month, then 60 for another 12 months. Like clockwork. He calls and asks for reduced rate and they give it to him after the one month of regular rate...it's a pain but saves money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatechip Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) What is this? I googled and it says you have to bundle internet, phone and cable. Can you tell me more? That is cheap. It's not Verizon FiOS, it is Frontier FiOS. The 30/30 speed is not advertised on their website either. I had to call and ask for other options. They said normally the rate would be $30/month, but they were running a promotion that brought it down to $25.
