1 edit | Re: Hope it does well I would definitely switch from Bright House (Road Runner) internet to them ( keep the TV). I love Brighthouse service but their speeds and tiers are mediocre at best; and FiOS is a rip-off( and crap customer service) in my eyes after all of the Verizon "fees and taxes" get added on and in contrast to Sonic. | |

Figure on $100/mo after fees - that's w/ no contract.
The price includes a landline and local TV; but who cares.
There are a lot of DSLR's who would jump at that deal if they could.

NV Never thought i would be saying this but once charter's ultra 100mb price drop comes through i will be paying $60 for 100mb/5mb and since i do more downloading than uploading i would rather have that then 35/35 for $90. | |

Does Charter cap? Right now, neither VZ nor Brighthouse does.
(note: I have BH RR Lightning 40/5 for $85)
If Charter didn't cap and if I had the choice of all 3; I'd probably waffle endlessly (like I am now between BH and VZ.)

NV Charter does have a soft cap at 500gb for the ultra plan. I do download a fair amount of tv/movie/games/etc but ive never hit 500gb in a month before. | |

I should move to VZ, just to be nice to BH.

| | | Yeah I remember they kept sending their advertising and weekends sales reps kept coming for our Tampa area about no contracts and all that for around $100, but I don't think it was 35/35, probably closer to 15/5.
And if I remember it didn't include most of the channels we are getting with BH, not to mention their international calling plans/rates were abysmal.
This is why we decided against it. To match the same price point as BH with same TV channels + international and a little faster internet it was close to $170 ... way too much. BH is $115 right now.
They might have changed their ridiculous fees since but when we had verizon land line half of the price was fees... it was idiotic.
I just tried to bundle my own service and ... page keeps crashing when I have to select how many TVs get set boxes! lol
So to each their own, in my eyes from my personal experience Verizon is too much of scam artist to deal with in return for a tiny positive (FiOS internet in this case) but thats IMHO. | |

I don't call internationally and don't own a TV. I just price it for the Broadband and ignore everything else.
Even though I can get the 35/35, I have RR Lightning (40/5) and it costs almost as much. The #1 reason is that Brighthouse has far better customer service than does Verizon.
However, I'm hosting a number of servers at home now. For the millionth time I'm rethinking that.
