They give you a NETGEAR WNR1000v3 N150 Wireless Router for free for self-install a $59.99 value. This router is very easy to configure and run. The install fee for the service is $45.00 which includes the telephone line. If you install cable too (Triple play) It is still the same, so it is split between the services so the best value is to install the Internet, Telephone and Television which makes it $15.00 each. The cost for triple play with expanded basic cable is $135.00 a month not including tax and rental of the IPTV boxes. It will run up to $177 a month, 135.00 for 6Mbps/1Mbps FTTH an additional $22.00 for up to 16Mbps ($199.00) and $42.00 for up to 26Mbps ($211.00). The 16 Mbps service is good for a small family with moderate gaming/downloading, but the 26Mbps is best for a large family with heavy gaming/downloading. The average ping times are around 50ms I had some 30ms and very rare at 100+ms. I have since Shut off video services because it alone costs $100.00 a month w/out premiums....... TV is too expensive today. This service is great, I can stream 4 HD Videos and play a game online. This is not good for anyone who wants to share files as the upload is 1M. This is also limited to very few areas within the telephone company service area. They will not be done with complete roll out until 2020. Once changed over all of 3 Rivers Telephone Communications Co-Op will have HDTV and faster internet without the limitation that DSL has.(We the users are the owners so to say we get some money back from what we spend on services from our Co-Op.) This is a very new offering in Montana, since most of the state is 20 years in the past, this is a very awesome internet service. The phone company is very excellent with the way they treat their customers. Since this is a Cooperative us the customers/users are partial owners. So they are golden with customer service, and the techs don't talk down they talk to you when you are having problems with your service, the engineers are actually easy to talk to. The installers are funny and nice, as they take personal care of you. I had a problem with my phone line after they installed my service it was broken. And he thought he had to replace the ODN (Optical Data Node) which he told me is a grand each. But they fixed the problem, something got byorked at the office and they just rebuilt the line and it was fixed. He came back to make sure everything worked correctly which was above and beyond what I normally see with install techs. Thank you 3 Rivers for the personal care you taken to get my internet installed. 3 Rivers is a very rare phone company, they take very good care of us and this is what is needed with all other providers. If you move to Montana move to Fairfield, Sheridan, or Pendroy so you can get Fiber To The Home. member for 24 years, 2131 visits, last login: 125 days ago updated 8.3 years ago
