Frequently asked questions
Why does internet cost so much?
Infrastructure costs, maintenance, and competition (or lack thereof) drive prices. Fiber is expensive to install, so it's often pricier.
How can I lower my internet bill?
Negotiate with your provider, bundle with TV or phone, or look for low-income internet programs. Also, consider downgrading speed if you don't need it.
Is it cheaper to buy my own modem?
Yes, renting a modem/router costs $10–$15/month. Buying your own pays for itself in 6–12 months.
