New Internet plans coming soon of some type...

Sounds interesting. Hopefully they heard our voices on the low caps and lack of speed choices. My 10 meg grandfathered plan is sufficient because it's not paired with a 50 or a 100 GB cap and for some reason or another, is never throttled despite my heavy downloading.

Looking forward to the announcements. Other ISPs like the Comcast giant have actually increased their caps from what I've heard and in other markets, they've suspended the 250 GB cap.

Now it's been a little while since C1 finally got their D3 network off the ground. More network capacity has been added, other things have been tweaked.. it's time for bigger caps (or no caps) and more, diverse internet plans.

I stayed on the grandfathered 10 plan too. Really feel sorry for those new folks stuck on a 5 plan. I don't think I would upgrade to ANY plan with a cap so I don't know why I'm looking forward to their new plan announcements but I guess, like you, I remain hopeful. I do not see any reason for Cable One to institute a cap. The network has never seemed bogged down to me. Maybe other areas are different or they are just being too overly cautious.

I'd agree to pay a bit more for an uncapped 50 or so but I haven't upgraded to one of the $150+ business plans yet. That's too much more than the $53 I'm paying now. Has to be an in-between somewhere.

Ditto. As I am stuck on the 5m plan. Hoping they would offer some different tiers like before. Instead of this all or nothing bs. Would like to see as far as new tiers: 5m(economy), 15m(standard), 35m(performance) 50m(extreme). Pricing: 25, 45, 55, 70. Can only dream though.

A little more upload would be nice too. Yes, not as important as download but still, with all these new cloud services...

Why are they stuck on 1s and 2s up? Blah. :/

Well the rumor mill is...!
(note this is rumors!)

this is the "internet only" plan (no bundle for savings/extra download etc)
50MB plan will be bumped to 200GB/month cap at $50
for $10 more you can do 250GB/month

unknown upload speed presuming 1MB still

In some months, I have been known to have a full 1TB download. Not every month but it has happened. And that's not even a max of the connection. The 10 plan could do a lot more downloading than that. But I'm not trying to max things out. I'm just an active user.

So a 50GB bump does nothing. Sounds like I'll be on the 10 forever.

Ouch that is alot per month, and I thought I was active keeping up with nearly a dozen anime shows per month.

small correct to the above, I think it was actually 250GB for $50 and for $10 more 300gb

more then enough for me as I average about 200GB on my 10mbit between gaming, music downloading and movie watching (also I think the 6am till noon? no quota usage thing is in effect for it...?

Am I to assume that if the rumors turn out to be true, CableOne will lower my monthly rate to $60 and I get an extra 200GB?

Right now, I pay $70 per month (naked Internet) for the 50MB service with a 100GB cap. I have no contract.

reply to jasonkradiog
Something that concerns me though is if C1 will still revert your 50 meg speeds down to 5 meg after your contract is up.. ? Will there be a similar issue with the newer plans? Very worrying.

really hoping for a new plan. My 5M plan just sucks and I'm pretty sick of how slow it is. If they raise the cap for the 50M plan to over 250GB, I'll buy it. But 100GB is just too low, I hit 150-220 GB every month easily.

I noticed one thing. I have a cablecard with an HDHomerun Prime and it seems we have finally switched to digital on the main 0-100 channels in Sioux City, IA. My Prime picked them up on a recent channel scan I did in WMC.

230-300gb for 50 bucks while still a hell of alot better isnt really good enough..

Now the extra 10 bucks is essentially overage billed at 10 bucks per 250gb then it sounds like a good enough deal to make me switch from the 10mbit plan.

That would be 50 a month for base & then another 30 bucks in overage if you downloaded 1tb at a peak in a month.. So 80 bucks rather then the existing business plan to cover that at 230..

Its already been proven that isp's pay next to nothing for the bandwidth so even at these reasonable overage rates they would still be making profit

Hope this wasn't the change being talked about. The internet page on cableone.net shows just two options now. Standard at 5Mpbs and Streaming at 50Mpbs. Seem the lowest tier Economy at 1.5Mpbs not advertised any more. Guess this might fit with the new common sense advertising but sure not what i was looking for was hoping for a speed jump in tiers instead.

It's still too early to tell what's going on. Those are the same plans I saw before. 50 meg with 50/100 GB cap and 5 meg.

Their FB support page insists the plans won't be ready until this Spring.

The new AUP updated on February 1 mentions a 15 Mbps "Surfing Internet" package with a 50GB cap and an 8am to midnight measurement period.

Egads, I hope that's not their finalized AUP for the 'new' internet plan(s).

The caps are seriously killing it.
