During Christmas, TMobile was running a promotion that offered 5G home internet for $25/month and that priced is locked in for life.
No hidden fees or getting random charges added.
I switched because I was paying $150/month with cox cable. It feels fantastic saving $125/month and cutting the cord.
I'm getting 200-400Mbps down and 30-60Mbps up. You'll see different results depending on your 5G coverage.
Was getting 300Mbps down an 10Mbps up with cox.
that 5gig tier is 180usd a month in my neighborhood, it's a great internet service you'll speed test well above the tier that you purchase
I use my PC and the internet a lot too. But I don't have a blessed financial situation. And the 100 Mb I was getting before was very, very seldom a bottleneck.
If I'm guessing correctly (based on things you've stated in the past), finances are far less of a concern for you these days, and 100 Mb sounds like it wasn't at the point you wouldn't benefit from more. You also use your PC and the internet a lot. So combining those three things, there's a justifiable reason to not being averse to spending more.
Options also vary a lot based on location. Unless I was to look into 5G/wireless options (which I'm not wanting to do, as I value the consistency of a land connection, and my parents have that and it's spotty from what I know), then what I have now is pretty much among the best balance I can get for my financial/speed needs. Sure, there's cheaper options, but the speed is typically far slower for not as much of a savings.
Some people take the best they can get. Some people don't have a need for very high speed. Some people aren't in a financial position where money isn't a big deal. I'm not sure how you find it fascinating that people don't share your opinion but yet acknowledge those factors.
its really only like $109/mo but the rental fees for modem and set top box
Without the TV though Internet would be like $80, which im considering.
Usually for Verizon/Comcast you won't get a good discount without also having land-line phone included in your package. Even then it can easily be upwards or $200 or more a month depending on how many TV set-top boxes you need.
If you have Smart TV (many of them have Android built-in now) you can connect TV via Ethernet or WiFi and use streaming services or watch downloaded shows/movies via USB external storage or via NAS. If it's an older TV but still an LCD with USB port, you can use options such as Roko, ChromeCast, AppleTV or similar.
mine got upgraded as well and the price didnt change, was paying $80 for 200/20 and now im getting 300/30 for the same price, they also offer 1000/50 for $100 i think (not sure why mine limits the upload tho), they also have monthly data caps, all of them are above 1000MB mine is like 1200 if i remember correctly, but you can pay a bit extra for unlimited.
are you talking about mobile internet, or something like a whole town/city wifi access via wifi access points spread across your town/city (some places do this)? if not then are you renting the isp's routers? cause charging for wifi is a scam charge, wifi is built into routers not a signal that can be sent through a line, hence why when you buy your own router they cant charge you for wifi.
If you wanted to actually make use of the full speed then everything would need to support that maximum.. the server end, your line, your cables, your hardware / NIC, and your computer (cpu, disk speed etc) would all need to be able to handle it.
10 gpbs NIC cards are pretty pricey, and you would need one for each PC.
I have 1gbps down and 550mbps up - and that's about the max my NIC can handle. The cables (CAT 6a 750MHz S/FTP) we installed throughout the house a few years ago should just reach 10 gbps but the switch, router, and NIC's for each PC would need an upgrade to get that speed.
But anyway, yeah, I pretty much take the $5 charge as their way of getting around their own self claimed "we don't charge for equipment rental". I'm aware a lot of ISPs do nonsense charges like that and maybe I should contact them and complain about it (maybe it's one of those things they put a charge on and see what they can charge if nobody complains, and will remove it for select customers who do complain?), but my time and effort for MAYBE saving $5 a month hasn't pushed me to do that yet. Instead, I've decided if I starting looking at a triple digit bill (which I'm getting close to), then unless it also comes with gigabit speeds, I will consider looking at cheaper options (maybe even if it means reduced speeds... to a point).
Having consistent and great service, enough speed, no contractual obligations, and no data caps are the reasons I've stayed with them. The price is a bit high for me, but I've decided I can somewhat look past the poor speed for the price because...
1. It's still more speed than I need, and...
2. The cheaper options come with a reduced speed that outweighs the reduced price (for example, I'm paying $85 for 300/10 now, but with a competing plan, I might pay $50 introductory for it to go up a year later but then I'm only getting double digit speeds, and possibly contractual obligations and data caps, etc.).
Some of us have to make do with less than ideal choices, and we don't have the financially blessed situations (or options in our area) to brute force our way to what we want. But I'm fine with only having "slightly higher cost than I'd like" as the only real negative to the plan that meets my internet needs.
IIf you can, I suggest going for the 1Gb/s at first.
It seems steam can struggle to make use of that updating games, depending on your machine.
Then downgrade to the lower speed if you are wasting your money.
As a Gigabit user for the past 11 years i can say that Steam has never utilized even remotely that much.
I highly disagree. I have had 72 MB/sec to 90 MB/sec before.
but i have to throttle steam to 30 MB/s otherwise my router crashes and reboots
likely game/server/time related then
but regardless, it doesnt happen ALL the time i'm sure, which is my point.
