We have unlimited Internet (finally)

The benefits of fibre optic are finally starting to show up. But in order to get the best deal and the unlimited Internet bandwidth, we had to go with a package that includes TV.  Even with the added cost, it will end up costing less per month than paying for all the bandwidth we’ve been using the last few months. Last month was a whopper, costing us $160. The package runs just over $120/month before taxes and fees.

Shelley can be happy now that she can stream music from our Rhapsody service.  I’m happy that I don’t have to monitor bandwidth usage anymore and try to figure out where each monthly bill might end up. The speed has also gone up to 5M/512K – nowhere near the FiOS speeds (or the price) available in Verizon territory in the Lower 48, but much improved over what we had before.
