I ask because in our area Frontier and Mediacom are so hated that many people wouldn’t want them even if they offered 1 Gbps for $1/month. The speed and price don’t matter when it breaks all the time and they take a week to fix it and the bill is wrong and they lie to you. And when it comes to business, I don’t think even AT&T and Comcast cater to businesses anymore.

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.

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.

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 On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 10:18 PM, Rory Conaway < [email protected] > wrote: Not that what we have seen.

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.
