Cheaper wifi

Post by Joy »

Can anybody recommend a company for inexpensive wifi only? With no TV attached. We're getting rid of our landline and U-Verse.

Depends on your area. Often phone line based internet access is the cheapest for high volume use. There are some cell system based options for lower volume, but you do have to watch your data use.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

Then what about cheap landline Internet access? We're paying around $90 a month now.

That's pretty expensive. What is your telephone company and your cable TV company? The latter usually offers Internet only access, but is sometimes cheaper in a "bundle"

i have this, through Frontier. they use the existing landlines, but, it's not "dial-up!"
my bill was $26.99/mo, high speed internet only, it just went up, it might be close to $30 next bill.

it serves the entire house, without wires.

packages are available.
i no longer have a landline phone, fax, or other.
my landline is now only used for internet access.

for me, it's a better quality connection than satellite (country location.)
i.e., fewer outages due to trees, etc.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

AT&T is our current provider. Don't have television. But Comcast would use cable, I guess, with router/modem rental.

I'll have to check Frontier out. Thanks, Temp. That sounds good.

So what is the catch? Sounds too good to be true.
