Really? $80? I haven't seen $80 for internet. In a suburban area outside of Tacoma ~300mbps was about $50, and now just outside of Seattle I pay $75 for 1 gbps

Really? $80? I haven't seen $80 for internet.
In a suburban area outside of Tacoma ~300mbps was about $50, and now just outside of Seattle I pay $75 for 1 gbps. The non-gigabit plans were south of $50.
I Googled a bit and most websites said Americans generally pay somewhere between $50-$60.
- deminature 7y agoI'm in NYC and after tax, my bill is roughly $80.
- throw7 7y agoI'm upstate ny and pay $80 for internet. This gets me 100Mbit down and a paltry 10Mbit up. I don't consider this "broadband" as the upload speed is so slow. It's also highway robbery... there's no choice here.
- usrusr 7y agoCould you get slower for less? Because that's the standout characteristic of the German market, something like 16/1 is almost universally available at about 30€ or less, but going and faster, if available, comes at a steep premium.
- throw7 7y agoI did a quick login online to search for current "offers", and they're only offering higher tier speeds. Now, it might be possible, but that takes calling them up and I'm not in the mood. Also, the way they hide "offers" per customer/location is maddening. For my location, a new internet installation at my current speeds is $45 for 2 years. Meanwhile, look at me paying $80 per month -.- Thank you my senators and reps.
- ericd 7y agoComcast, with weak competition from others. $100/mo for 250mbps here ($110 if you rent their modem).
- matwood 7y agoLocally, unlimited gigabit with taxes and all is ~$100 USD through ATT. The unlimited portion adds $30, but any TV package also makes the connection unlimited so that's what I did.
