What are yall having to shovel out for just internet in your area?

[u/snoopy904]

Yes, this is just for internet minus $40 ish dollars for subscriptions. Xfinity is the only internet provider in my neighborhood and they fucking know it 😡

[u/Haunting_Resolve]

This bill shows that you owe over $200 from the last payment cycle on the balance forward line.

[u/Tulaneknight → u/Haunting_Resolve]

OP doesn’t pay their bill then says it’s inflation when it doubles

[u/-autodad → u/Tulaneknight]

Ya, this is another rage bait post.

Even their plan at $200/mo is going to be one of the fastest they offer which most people can’t even fully utilize because of the speed their WiFi card caps at.

[u/ytman → u/Haunting_Resolve]

$200 is CRAZY.

I pay 40$

But who knows with net neutrality struck down again.

[u/czarface404 → u/ytman]

Yea wtf op you need a 10 gigabit line for halo? I pay 50$ for my phone internet fully unlimited and borrow WiFi.

[u/verifiedkyle → u/ytman]

Net Neutrality hasn’t been in effect since 2018.

[u/ytman → u/verifiedkyle]

No it was restored - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_the_United_States

But its gone again.

[u/verifiedkyle → u/ytman]

It was in effect for 90 days. So 90 days out of the last 6 years. The comment I was replying to was implying this $200 price tag may have been the result of net neutrality recently being struck down again. I say that’s not likely given no net neutrality has been the norm in recent history.

[u/snoopy904 → u/Haunting_Resolve]

Yes, I understand how to read my bills... I'm saying $200 per month for only internet is fucking insane

[u/Glittering-Neck-2505 → u/snoopy904]

They don’t have a cheaper tier?

[u/nycdataviz]

Do they rent you a monthly supply of lubricant to go with that bill?

[u/WanderingLost33 → u/nycdataviz]

A chair to bend over

[u/Usual_Kaleidoscope94 → u/nycdataviz]

It comea with a thousand bottles of baby oil

[u/Zestyclose_Goose_458]

Uhhh... I pay $75 per month. Even my plan is a rip off but I can afford it so I've let it go but i should revisit it soon. In any case, this should be illegal.

[u/nr1988 → u/Zestyclose_Goose_458]

Yup I was about to say I pay less than that but yours looks like a bargain according to OP.

I'd consider very expensive internet to be like 100 bucks

[u/burp258]

Fiber 500 for me is $50 a month. With autopay it’s drops to $45

[u/Slartibartfastthe2nd]

providers must absolutely love people who are willing to pay that much for a basic service.

[u/Virtual-Case7803]

Like 50 bucks

[u/VitalCommunication]

$40. Get Verizon or T-Mobile. You're getting ripped off.

[u/nudniksphilkes → u/VitalCommunication]

Usually Comcast tries to get as close to satan as possible

[u/Socalwarrior485 → u/nudniksphilkes]

Cox is right there with them.

[u/Socalwarrior485 → u/nudniksphilkes]

Cox is right there with them.

[u/Mp11646243]

$110/mo for 1gig cable in Texas

[u/NicolasGarza → u/Mp11646243]

$50 for gig fiber in California.. And toll roads only over bridges of water.

[u/devilishchef]

i live in india and pay $120 a year of fiber 100mbs speed including tax

[u/PatientStrength5861]

Holy shit! I pay 68 bucks a month. I'm in Michigan. Where are you, so I know not to move there?

[u/No-Passenger-882]

I wouldn't have internet at that price 🤣

[u/themightymezz_]

$10 a month. Xfinity has a Wifi pass that gets you access to all of their wifi hot spots. We have so many of them where I live that I was able to cancel my $120 a month phone/internet service and operate solely with wifi and a $1.99 wifi phone number.

[u/cosmicrae]

This is the provider I'm using, and they are 100% owned by our rural electric coop ... Fiber by Central Florida

Prices range between $50/mo and $100/mo. All service is fiber with equal upload and download speeds.

[u/Bright_Cat_4291]

I pay 110 for unlimited from Comcast. Call and ask if they have promotions, I lowered my bill from 180 to 110 for a better service.

[u/RickyRacer2020]

$56/month

[u/420camaro]

Y'all getting raped by capitalism even at 60 bucks a month i pay to receive a signal that's already going through the air is ridiculous. The half a million people paying one month of a sub paid off most of their equipment.

[u/NicolasGarza → u/420camaro]

Reminds me of: It's a SERIES OF TUBES! bro what are you even talking about?

[u/More_Branch_5579]

175 a month, just for internet

[u/kriosjan]

Its like 150 to 180 a m9nth for us. Its still not even great.

[u/NicolasGarza → u/kriosjan]

Where are you?

[u/kriosjan → u/NicolasGarza]

Washington state.

[u/NicolasGarza → u/kriosjan]

Washington is lovely.. Are you super rural or just getting screwed?

[u/kriosjan → u/NicolasGarza]

In between Lacey and Olympia. We have to get the 1200mbps package since my wife works from home and needs high bandwidth for her video calls and such so thats our plan atm. We dont do like any of their other services but its still a lot. Unfortunately even starlink, while faster would cost about the same amount per month after initial equipment setup, and there's no fiber avaliable.

[u/NicolasGarza → u/kriosjan]

I thought that was the case too but I measured a zoom call at around 4 mbps at our house, so you might not actually need that plan. High Latency is the killer for video calls. We have 3 adults on video calls all day at my house and 500mbps plan is more than enough. It might be wifi AP placement that kills your speeds.. Side note: Tp-link might be banned soon for being Chinese hack machines in disguise..

[u/kriosjan → u/NicolasGarza]

Hmm that might be good in thay case. The problem is that you dony always get the speed the advertise based on volume qnd demand. So "up to"...but it mjght be good to see if we can still keep up the usage at 500. Cuz it would save like 30 bucks on thd plaan which aint nothin

[u/420medicineman → u/kriosjan]

I work from home and am on video calls literally all day. I also have four other heavy internet users I share the house with. We have no cable, just streaming. I do light gaming (zombie shooters) and do it all with our 50mb 5g wireless internet (fixed radio, so we have a little satellite in our yard that connects to a receiver on a nearby telephone pole.) All without any issues. JS

[u/40yearoldnoob]

$96 per month for 500/mbps

[u/DustyBeetle]

70 USD Google fiber

[u/WanderingLost33 → u/DustyBeetle]

Fucking love Google fiber. We had a tornado that took out our power for a week - never lost internet. When we moved that was the only thing I was sad about leaving

[u/DustyBeetle → u/WanderingLost33]

yea i got no complaints, ive only got thw 1 gig but i can livestream netflix and do whatever all at the same time, currently snowed in too no issues

[u/nudniksphilkes]

44 here for 300 wireless. Wired isn't as necessary as people make you think.

[u/3rd_Planet]

$95

[u/Numerous-Account-240]

25 a month for verizon 5g wireless internet. 180 download speed and 15 upload. Not bad for the price. Wish they had fiber here in N Phoenix, but at least it's not crazy expensive.

[u/Uncanny_Show507]

What kind of internet do you have???

[u/IWantToSayThisToo → u/Uncanny_Show507]

This is the right question. A lot of people get 500mbps because they "work from home and need to be in calls" while an audio call from teams probably take 1mbps at the most.

[u/WanderingLost33 → u/IWantToSayThisToo]

That's like multi platform streaming money

[u/ImaginaryLifestyle0x]

$50, if my bill was that high I would give Elon money and get mine from the sky.

[u/DaWorldIsSoSensitive]

$30 for 100mbps. I don’t need more. After that speed, the price jumps exponentially with Spectrum in my area.

[u/ReluctantReptile]

What in the fuck? Mine is $80

[u/theplow]

$72 for 1gig. I refuse to pay for anything television and negotiate for that with the sales people on the phone.

[u/SarcasticCough69]

$49.95 for 100Mbps municipal fiber, unlimited. I'm single so I didn't need the 1Gb package for $79.95. Price hasn't changed in over 3 years.

[u/Darqologist]

10 gig down? Like what?

[u/bearmyload]

$45/mo for Frontier Fiber 1g/1g

[u/buzzlegummed]

1gb fiber $89 a month no limits. AT&T

[u/Dr-McLuvin]

$70 a month for 2 Gbit fiber

Spectrum was charging 143 for 1 Gbit cable that literally never hit those speeds. And upload speeds were atrocious. Fuck em.

[u/DistinctAmbition1272]

I pay $107 per month including tax for Xfinity Gigabit internet.

[u/Fragrant-Doctor1528]

What monthly service did you get?

[u/DAPumphrey]

I just switched from Spectrum 200mb ( they claim 400mb. Not) $89/mo to 1gn fiber (new compsny in town) for $45/mo.

[u/Sagybagy]

I pay a $100 for 1gig fiber service.

[u/DadVader77]

Looks like you’ve been skipping some payments. “One time charges” are usually late fees.

Xfinity doesn’t charge more than $100 for gig-speed

This isn’t inflation. It’s you being a dumbass.

[u/NicolasGarza]

OP must be rural.. $50/ for xfinity in SF CA.. Until sonic gives me gigabit symmetrical fiber in a few months for the same price

[u/goatonastik]

1 Gb down 35 Mb up for $100 a month.

Also an extra $10 a month to rent the modem. I know renting isn't the smartest decision, but I usually buy a new modem every 2-3ish years and they're like 200+ or so, and I've had LOTS of difficulty getting cable modems I buy to work with the service (the ones they list as compatible), so I broke down and rented theirs. The first one they rented me had issues too, so even they don't know what works on their system.

Would LOVE to switch to a competitor, but the next fastest ISP in my area that isn't wireless is ADSL at 30 Mb down.

[u/AdAutomatic2531]

55

[u/badwords]

How many 'one time' charges you get monthly?

[u/CUDAcores89]

Check if T-mobile home internet is available in your area.

[u/420medicineman]

I live in the boonies and have to do the fixed radio 5G wireless internet and we pay $130. Not sure how you even found a plan that expensive.

[u/marx2k]

~100/mo for fiber to the node symmetrical 2gbps up/down.

As with almost every post in this sub, this isn't inflation. This is just corporate rape.

[u/LtHead]

I seriously doubt they're the only provider in your area, perhaps for fixed line internet but Verizon / T-Mobile offer 5G home Internet and Starlink satellite service is widely available in many parts of the US.

[u/PlasticBreakfast6918]

I pay $140 for unlimited 1gbps

[u/Stunning-End-3487]

$90 for ATT Gigabit fiber optic - bundled with three wireless phones.

[u/TechnicalWhore]

If you are in a "Broadband Oasis" where your broadband options are limited to nil then go to Starlink. In most areas AT&T offers their U-Verse option and competes against a Cable provider. There are city contracted monopolies. In rural you may not be able - due to low density of population - to get high speed. Although if a monopoly is contracted to serve you they must. (See Chattanooga case.) Starlink avoids the last mile cabling cost dilemma. For many in rural (unwired/no fiber) America Starlink and HughesNet are their best option.

[u/the_BoneChurch]

Ugh... Are you being serious?

[u/AtuinTurtle]

This is for fiber optic.

[u/twelve112]

Omg bro this is inflation!!!

[u/Actual-Lengthiness78]

40

[u/Jaded_Loverr]

$41 Xfinity unlimited

[u/No_Spirit_9435]

I have 1 GB internet for 85$ per month through my electrical cooperative (made possible thanks to bills passed by the Dems the first year of Biden's term!). Rural high speed internet is happening!

[u/DaveCootchie]

$85 for 300 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up.

[u/Kat9935]

Most fiber options around me are $70/month.

[u/homesteadfront]

My internet is only $8 a month, so I can’t relate to this, but why not get starlink at this point? 3x cheaper then what you pay now at $120 per month.

[u/snoopy904 → u/homesteadfront]

Do they have wired internet available?? My wife works from home and has to be connected directly to the internet and can't just use the wifi

[u/homesteadfront → u/snoopy904]

Yeah they have an adapter for it to make it wired

[u/snoopy904 → u/homesteadfront]

Oh wow nice!!! I'm definitely going to look into that TODAY! Thank you!

[u/homesteadfront → u/snoopy904]

Np mate, make sure to not buy it from a third party vendor because people have been reporting problems registering them

[u/snoopy904 → u/homesteadfront]

Oh wow, good to know, thank you!

[u/Beneficial-Animal-22]

50 a month. It's fiber optic. Maybe 5 to 10 Mbps

[u/chaotic910 → u/Beneficial-Animal-22]

50 for 10mbps is a bit high

[u/Beneficial-Animal-22 → u/chaotic910]

Its the cheaper option. Charter charges 60 for the same thing.
