I recently moved to San Francisco from Chicago. I was paying $45/month for 25 mbps in Chicago, and I now pay $50/month for 150 mbps in SF. It feels like Chicago needs Fiber more than we do.
- shinymark 11y agoWhat ISP are you getting 150 mbps at $50/mo from?
- duren 11y agoComcast/Xfinity
- rconti 11y agoMeanwhile, my service cost jumped, so I re-upped for another Xfinity 12 month scam where instead of charging me $75/mo for 75mbit internet only, they charge me $55/mo for Internet in exchange for allowing myself to be listed as a "cable subscriber" in a sad effort to keep their TV subscriber numbers up. That's right, their margins on internet are s huge they'd rather pay me $20 a month, plus pay the content providers (including HBO!) for another customer, than lose a "tv subscriber". Nevermind that the cable box sits in my attic for another year.
- strange_quark 11y agoFunny. I pay $45/month for 155 in Chicago.
- duren 11y agoHuh, it's a shame there isn't more transparency (or consistency) in pricing.
