I think it is bad to offer such a low plan, what is the reason behind it? In recently polls I have taken the average person is paying $70 a month for internet access(this is in competitive areas with TWC, ATT, and other options.

Here's our plans on Fiber..
I'm considering offering a very low tier with high install (to cover construction costs).
$10/mth
$400 install
10Mbit/10Mbit
but currently here we are...
Basic Fiber
25Mbit/25Mbit
$44.95
Professional Fiber
50Mbit/50Mbit
$64.95
Super Fiber 100
100Mbit/100Mbit
$99.95
Super Fiber 200
200Mbit/200Mbit
$159.95
In the next 6 months, we will give more and eliminate a plan....but probably.
Professional Fiber
100Mbit/100Mbit
$45.95
Super Fiber 200
200Mbit/200Mbit
$99.95
Super Fiber 300
300Mbit/300Mbit
$159.95
I expect that 6-12 months following that...depending on the competition (TWC/ATT)...
Professional Fiber
200Mbit/200Mbit
$45.95
Super Fiber 500
500Mbit/500Mbit
$99.95
Super Fiber 1000
1000Mbit/1000Mbit
$159.95
Our cost of bandwidth the higher we go, is considerably less. We'll be somewhere close to $.40/Mbit in costs to get that to our facility.
Regards,
Chuck

    That depends on the area. Also, the costs are going *DOWN*

    EPB has 100Mbps FD FTTH for $57.99/mo. 1Gbps is $69.99/mo. 10Gbps
    is $299/mo

    US Internet is 50Mbps for $39.95/mo, 100Mbps for $47.95/mo, 1Gbps
    for $65/mo 2.5Gbps for $99/mo, 5Gbps for $199/mo, and 10Gbps is
    $399/mo

    CSpire is $70/mo for 1Gbps wireless (not sure how they are
    providing this), and $80/mo for 1Gbps

    AT&T is 80Mbps for $80/mo, or 1Gbps for $110/mo - down to $80/mo
    for 1Gbps in markets where it competes or plans to compete with
    Google Fiber (which is $70/mo for 1Gbps). That's 18 markets today,
    23 markets in 1st part of the year

    Here's the Comcast xfinity 2Gbps map (what they claim anyway):
    http://www.xfinity.com/multi-gig-offers.html

    DOCSIS 3.1 rollouts are happening now, as well as G.FAST.

    Sonic in California has also been rolling out 1Gbps FTTH, although
    I am unsure of their pricing.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 250Mbps and up in 50+
    major US markets by the end of the year, for under $75/mo.
