I’ve seen advertisements fiber internet is in my area (Frontier), starting price is $59, guessing the price goes up eventually?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have gigabit fiber and am locked in with a price of $59 a month for at least 5 years.

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Oh it is $79 now, sure. But next month it will be $84. The next month after that it will be $89.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In my case it is the default and there is no need to negotiate the rate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh nice 👍 are there monthly equipment charges? I do know there’s different equipment.

Thanks, you’ve helped a lot in convincing me to switch. 👍

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good to know! So are there monthly equipment charges? I do know there’s different equipment for fiber.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Agreed so hard. It took me weeks to get Spectrum to take it off my bill after the installer refused to take it back with him. I even drove it to their office and plopped it down on their desk. I couldn't believe they were being so shady about $5. So far no such problem here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Amen. Such a disgusting practice that never should’ve been allowed to get off the ground.
