Taking over, Spectrum is offering a bundle for $99 that includes a 60Mb connection, a useless VOIP phone and some cable TV channels. We quit cable TV years ago because it is worthless. Paying money to watch 20-30-40 and 50 year old TV shoes and movies? Obscene. I plugged in a digital antenna with an amplifier and get 21 local OTA channels. News, weather and golden oldies. Enough for me.
Allo won't be west of 40th at Pine Lake for another year or two, and even then their 20Mb/s connection will cost $45/mo, which is NO bargin. NelNet bought Allo a year ago and it looks like they are price colluding with Spectrum. If I want 100Mb/s it will cost $65/mo. If I were to buy the 1Gb/s service for $90/mo I'd need to buy a faster Ethernet card and/or faster wifi. 802.g only does 54Mb/s and 802.n does 300Mb/s
So I guess I am stuck in the grass. :'(

Wow, you guys have a lot of options! In Omaha it is Cox or CenturyLink, and in most areas it is just Cox, and Cox just announced a 1TB monthly data limit for all tiers. Go over and it is $50/GB. On top of that for the people who were using more than that because of big families or having "cut the cord" and streaming all thier TV shows, there is no way to pay for a higher limit. Glad I don't have to deal with that right now.

A 1TB cap would still allow a person to watch eight moves of three hrs in length for each day for 30 days. I frequently download Linux ISO files of 1-2Gb in length for testing purposes and have never come close to 1TB of download.
My AT&T cap is 40Gb for six lines. My wife rarely exceeds 250Mb and I rarely exceed 500Mb. My two grandsons, however, msg thousands of times a month and watch YouTube videos and play online games. Combined, they frequently hit 35Gb or more!
But 1TB would require downloading some corporate or Fed database...

Even Hughes Internet is better than that.
