Cox is running 1Gbps for $100 a month with an integrated plan.  Throw in taxes 
and fees and they are closer to $115 plus I think they have some leasing fees 
in there.  That’s pretty much the most intensive competition I’ve seen.

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.

Chuck

Not that what we have seen.  Fiber installations have been more expensive for

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.
