Frontier Pricing


Frontier Online : Products : Residential : Internet Access

I'm currently stuck with Frontier Communications as my neighborhood monopoly.  Frontier sucks for Internet.



$56 for 1 Mbps download with only 128 Kbps upload speed



$45 for 256 Kbps with who knows what type of upload speed



Their super packages for $90 for all the crap-you-don't need on a phone service for one low price.



Charter is my other Internet monopoly to choose from (Is that a choice or just a feeling of a choice?).  They charge $57 per month for 3Mbps down and 256Kbps up.



On the north side of Minneapolis, Qwest is offering 384 Kbps for $27 per month.



Municipal Wi-Fi



Time to see if anyone is working on a Municipal Wi-Fi in my area.  I might even have to look into EVDO service.

  1. I've considered EVDO, but they charge about $1 per megabyte, with the bill not to exceed $100/month. And of course the upstream/downstream speeds are slow compared to that. I'd wait untill the price comes, and speed goes up.
