I just received an advertisement that is less expensive than Comcast. Anyone have any pros or cons they can tell me about this company? I would very much appreciate your insight. Tks

There are only 2 other choices in the area. Fairpoint or whatever they are called now and Comcast.

Fidium! I dropped my $200 Comcast basic cable and internet early this year to Fidium fiber optic 1G for $70. They pay for all installation. Price goes to $90 after two years. The app on my phone says it has gone out twice-both times in the middle of the night. The installer, Leo, was awesome!

If you are lucky enough to get T-Mobile 5G internet in Vermont, JUMP on it!! $50/mo for ‘all you can eat’ including taxes is the best thing you’ll ever get. I have it in Florida, but it’s not available where I am in VT. The service is very stable, the router takes a few mins to set up, and you can take it with you if you travel (and service is available). I have no clue why it’s not available for the whole state, but again, if you are in a place you can get a signal, DO IT. I’m still on the wait list for south Burlington.

Wow thanks! It always helps to have a good recommendation. Can you tell me whether or not their prices increase a lot? Comcast seems to go up every six months!

Yeah, use data to make decisions, not random opinions.

Nope, no hidden fees and no contract. Honestly, I can't imagine how they make money. I have tmobile cell service, which can be tricky in parts of vermont, but overall, pretty darn good. BUT.... Best thing out there if you are a t-mobile customer is TMobile Money. Check it out. I know I sound like a commercial, but I'm a huge fan of the company.

My house in Morristown is not in their 5G map, but I was able to call them and convince them that 4G was good enough. I get 40/20 most days, sometimes a little faster. We had starlink, but TMobile is more stable, and half the price.

It’s been great for me in Chittenden County. They have put up several new 5G towers. Their 5G gateway product is pretty cool.

I cancelled the service. I'm considering selling the hardware, but haven't done so yet.
