Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?

@Jamie @riotrick How much do you pay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

$55/mo

Their introductory rates for fiber, last I saw, was $30.

@Jamie Ah okay. I'm paying around 25€ per month including unlimited traffic and unlimited phone calls.

At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.
