How to pay for a new internet line reddit

I saw in the top/hot that it costs some one $13k to rub Internet lines. I'll be building rural home and I'm still quite the city person so internet is more important than a sewage line lol.

Is $14k the going rate or w/e?

level 1

If you're talking about a provider service line, have you checked with the cable and telephone companies whose regions the property you plan to build on is in, to find out if they have services there, and/or what it would cost to install?

level 2

It's on the list of things but I'm almost certain not... Specially if I'm expecting to run sewer/water/electricity.

Welcome to the Digital Divide! Internet access in rural markets is hit or miss. Some areas have high speed fiber optic networks and some have absolutely nothing.

level 2

I think mine is on the verge of non-existent. Which is okay... I'm wondering if you pay for them to run everything if you get a nice discount for a long time instead of paying monthly for service lol.

level 1

At that price just get Starlink business it's $500 x month...

You could pay for the next 2 years in advance...

Or get the normal plan at $100 and you could prepaid for 10 years of service...

level 2

If star link is an option but satallite, doesn't that have problems with cloud coverage?

level 1

You should never rub internet lines. And it varies greatly depending on the terrain and length from a main trunk, only way to know for sure is to get a quote.

level 1

Depends on how far they have to run it and what they have to go through. A mile through a forest and over a mountain will cost a lot more than a couple hundred feet through an open field.

level 2

I mean understandable... But there still is a normed average xD

level 1

Have you looked into getting 4G/5G internet from Verizon or T-Mobile?

level 2

I have not when I was over seas I used to game on a 4g LTE and it honestly was better than my wired internet in Texas....

level 1

This is why I’ll never move into a rural area until an ISP literally walks on a property and shows me the connection point for that lot.

level 2

Eh I'm sure there are tax benefits to write off stuff like that... We will see :) lol..

I just was in the city and omg too many people.

Same. 300 up and down.

Discounted rate for auto pay bank transfer payments is $40/month. Another $5 off for putting in my work email makes it $35/month.

My grandmother’s building signed a contract where everyone must have Fios. She gets gigabit internet, home phone, 2 DVRs, their router/WiFi, and every channel they offer, other than Cinemax, for $100/month.

My country is exactly the size of New Mexico, so borrowing money from bank and actually running new country-wide telco, including lying down core network is in the books and it happened 4 times in last decade. There are 2-3 new ISPs each year which piggyback of bigger players to connect endpoint all over Poland.

Same in US? Do this for single fiber strand and they make movies about you.

Typical distance of ADSL 1.x Access Module to endpoint can't exceed 1850 meters (little over 1 mile), and first ADSL player was a spinoff of national phone operator and post office (so each PO had a phone central), and yet >35% of population was in range.

After visiting US I am surprised that cellular networks have ANY signal outside of major cities - I am so very sure that there are base stations somewhere which served signal only to maintenance techs since they were set up.

It is going to vary by region and what internet providers are available. It is also going to depend on the speeds you pay for. In most areas, internet-only plans don't have taxes. If you have to rent a modem or router from the provider, you will still have that fee. Here we have both FIOS and Comcast. I am still on Comcast Performance Starter (which has speeds of 25/5). I pay $50 here because I own my own modem and wifi router. For FIOS, I would either need to rent or buy a device from the for about $150 so I didn't switch.

$115 may be a promo price. You need to check your contract to find out. My recollection is the FIOS internet only is at least $70 after the promo pricing ends. The TV portion depends on whether you have added anything on or pay for extra boxes. You should be getting login credentials from Verizon to use on apps in a streaming device so you could possibly drop one of those cable box rental prices if you are willing to use a Roku, Fire TV and login to various apps. This best for a less used secondary tv. Secondly you should check to see if there any channels that added on (example HBO) that have a streaming service version that you can cancel when you want. That can save you money.

u/neekogo mentioned r/cordcutters. See the Starter Guide and the Live Streaming Services Guide in the sidebar/mobile menu. The Starter Guide has a section on picking an internet provider. My internet is $50. I intentionally don't have the fastest plan around since I don't have a 4K tv etc. I have Disney+ ($6.99 although I have the black friday discount for the annual plan) and Hulu ($5.99) and I use an antenna. This is fairly minimal setup because I also use ad supported services too which are free. If you try to replicate your exact channel lineup, it is going to be expensive because most live streaming services are somewhat skinnier (less channels) than cable tv.
