I live in a rural place and messed around with satellite and starlink for a while. Finally just buy the bullet and shelled out $25k to get a dedicated fiber line to the house. Now I have 1Gbps down and all I can say is that it was worth every penny.
- paulmd 4y agowhere do you go for a quote on that? I have charter/spectrum and I suspect they'll just laugh at me. They did offer me cable when I moved in, but I wasn't ready to pay $200 a month at that point. Still probably not. If I wanted to go down that route I'd probably try to set up a subdivision ISP.
- bombcar 4y agoTry to find if there is fiber buried in the area already (look for the poles) and contact whoever that is. If that doesn’t work, try calling for the business side of the business. But if there isn’t even fiber to the town you’re going to be looking at a huge cost.
- paulmd 4y agoWe're just off a decent-sized state highway and I wouldn't be surprised (let's say 50/50 or 30/70) if there was fiber at the street and we'd just have to pull it through the subdivision.
- bergenty 4y agoI went to ATT to ask for a business line for $500/month which includes them doing the cabling for free but ended up speaking to a bunch of people there and was able to negotiate $25k out of my pocket but only $100/month for a minimum of 2 years.
