im getting he new house and not getting cable, we just dont need it really. im paying 77 a month for some good internet from comcast, no speed problems. when i move in i will be running cat 5 around to hardwire my hardware in. i use wd tv play in the bedroom and living room to access my 6tb nas through wifi. i will hardwire in the wd tv's and anything else that wants it and have a switch connecting them all to the storage of which i have 4 tb used. trying to cut costs and look for input on both, the setup and internet companies
Comcast, 50 down 10 up, for ~$35 a month. 802.11ac from two access points to give the house plenty of coverage. My 16TB NAS is wired via cat6 to the primary router, otherwise everything else is wireless, and it all works like a champ. I own my modem (linksys something or another), so I have no Comcast hardware in the house. No reason to give them any more money than you have to.
I have Comcast as well. Where I live I have had maybe 3 times in the 3 years I've lived here where there was a outage and always pull down over the 100mbps I pay for.
Care to share how you're getting the 50MB/s for that lw of a price? I have the Economy Plus at 3MB/s at $26/month and can't find any deals like that.
It's the new customer pricing. They screwed up, couldn't figure out how to refund me, and had to delete my old account. Since the new accound is technically "new", I got the super cheap one year of service.
Then just call and say your going to disconnect service and they give you a better rate. Sometimes as good as a new customer.
50x20, Centurylink @ $37/mo - I just renew the latest deal every 12months - usually $40 ~ +/- $5 Going on 4yrs now.
^ yes, check CenturyLink, they have fiber to some areas. After 12 mo. if they won't renew at a good price you can always flop between them and Comcast to get new customer promos.
