In my area, Verizon Fios straddles your price point, but both plans have slower speeds. 200 Mbps for $39.99 and 400 Mbps for $69.99 per month. That’s why I’m trying the T Mobile 5G service for $50 per month.…Had AT&T fiber installed today. So far so good. The 1/2 Gig package is downloading at 668 Mbps and upload is 544 Mbps. Has improved my Streamed live TV. Scrollers at the bottom of screens are much smoother. The most I have seen on WiFi 5 Ghz has been 222 Mbps. Best part is it's $5 less a month than DSL. Plus this 45 year AT&T customer locked in my new price for life of $45 including modem. All I had to do was mention the Spectrum and T-Mobile price available in this area and in 30 seconds the deal was done.
I'm envious, stuck on ATT ADSL (50/12). It seems ATT pretty much halted their fiber expansion (after the subsidy check from Uncle Sam cleared).Had AT&T fiber installed today. So far so good.

Consolidated Cable just installed fiber optic all throughout our town. On the low end they are selling 50MBS for $35/mo with install and modem/router included, On the high end 1gbs for $70/mo. Of course cost go up after one year.Fios. That’s a name I haven’t heard of in a while. They gave up before getting to my area so we’re stuck with Comcast or Verizon DSL which is slower than poo.
Part of the reason for the good price, is that they want to shut down the old copper DSL lines here in the KC metro. When enough people switch around here they can justify the shutdown. The service tech stated at that point, they will ask you to move to fiber, or switch to another provider, and shut off the DSL If you want a land line here, it is $80+ a month.I'm envious, stuck on ATT ADSL (50/12).

My speeds are satisfactory for what I do. The thing that really bugs me is that they (ATT& everyone else) charges market price. I get less than 1/10th the bandwidth you mention yet pay more - even with a 1-yr discount from changing tiers.
OMG, I am soooo jealous! Thanks for this post of what we can look forward too one day! Back in Jan 2021 to Feb 2022 I did a HUGE thread on TMobile Home internet right here on BITOG, ultimately after promising results the first day or two of service things when south. TMOBILE TRIED TO MAKE IT WORK, including engineers who contacted me, bottom line, our towers are just not updated enough, so they took the equipment back, refunded and said once towers are updated will be notified, I bet it will take years because I checked for service through their website now within what must be every direction out over 10 miles from my address and shows not available. So annoying Spectrum is way to expensive for what I need and I can literally see the tower through the trees in my community! Ugh!I am experimenting with the T mobile 5G home internet service. Been just a few days, but so far so good. I’m in an Ultra Capacity areaView attachment 81385
Yeah, would love an update next month, thanks.Yeah, I went back and looked at some of your thread. Got your hopes up and then they couldn’t quite make it work in the end. I’m only a few days in, so I’m expecting a lot more variation than what I’ve seen. Honestly with better placement I’ve been able to increase the speed some. Ethernet connected devices are seeing 600+ Mbps speeds now. I’m keeping Fios as a backup for now and may try a load balancing router so I can run off both T-Mobile and Fios connections with the ability to fail over if needed. Of course I would look for reduced bandwidth from Fios (and reduced $)
I’m in sc and have htc it’s fiber comparable to fios.OMG, I am soooo jealous! Thanks for this post of what we can look forward too one day!

I wasn't a big fan of the T-Mobile router but I did get it to work with my router and I can't begin to answer how I did being the T-Mobile has very limited settings... but one thing for sure is it does have pretty good built in WiFi range for an all in one and thank TMobile for having great pricing.
