I just helped my parents in law to switch from DSL to Verizon 5G Home Internet. They were paying $130 a month for 10Mbps DSL internet. Now with Verizon for 80 a month, and you get a free Xbox which was a perfect gift for another family member.
The speeds are 200/40Mbps download with spikes and downs.
The other option was Comcast, but if you go internet only - the installation service is not free, but they have coax cable for Dish TV, so installation on your own would be a questionable quest. So to look for other options, I went through all big 3 (t-mobile, att and verizon), and only verizon was available. I would assume that because their cellular plan is att, if att would be available, home internet plan probably would be cheaper as a bundle.
But still a good save of money, and such an upgrade from DSL to 5G.
- Gys 3y agoYou did not consider Starlink?
- inemesitaffia 3y ago5G where consistent is usually better and with lower startup costs
- outcoldman 3y agoWhy would you? Starlink is waiting list to get one, installation on the roof, running the cables, more expensive, less stable with a lot of interruptions. P.S. I do use starlink in my motorhome (rv mobile plan with their $2.5k antenna).
- Gys 3y agoI have Starlink myself and installed it on a 2 m pole next to the house. Went very easy, as fast and cheap (40 euro/ month) as fiber and never had any noticeable connection or stability issues. No waiting list. I switched to Starlink because a truck took down the fiber which hangs on poles along and over the street. Took days to repair and still looks very fragile.
